I’ve been complaining about the iOS Keyboard for years, and the people I’ve been complaining to would act like I’m insane.

I suspect this last iteration broke it just enough for it to impact more people and make some of the problems I’ve been experiencing mainstream.

But yeah things like deleting when I meant to space, putting an “I” instead of “K” and a bunch of other little things like “thinks” instead of “things”, unintended periods; complete failure of spelling just generating gibberish “x” instead of “c” leading to un-autocorrectable failures; and if you want to reference the name of something that doesn’t fit the grammatical structure of the sentence but isn’t a mainstream item, forget about it.

Also “od” instead of “of”.

Seeing this video is super validating. Emotionally, it does a lot to make me feel vindicated.

Someone was telling me you can install 3P keyboards, does anyone have any recommendations?

not just the keyboard either, but the text editor box (or address bar /search) in general. i cant count the number of times i try and put the cursor before a word, i see it is before the word, i let go, and the cursor moves to the end of the word. if i wanted it at the end of the word i would have put it there before letting go.

also, the damn period next to n in the address bar. no i didnt mean to type every word in a sentence with a period delimiting between words.

Having never implemented something like this, I wonder if the algorithm could take into account how long the cursor lingered on each position before being let go. If it spent significantly longer in a position before the word, and your finger happens to move a little bit when you let go, that slight movement shouldn't affect the cursor position.

Apple is usually pretty good about this stuff but they've really been slipping on the keyboard.

I dont think it is a last second twitch. It's some kind of autocorrection that has decided I meant to do something differently than I meant to.
