but anyone who uses the keyboard knows the statements to be true.

I have just switched to turning autocorrect off.

The "select all" comment hit home. I frequently try to copy/paste text and it is maddening to try to locate "select all"

And cursor movement? ugh. It is so painful to move the cursor to one specific letter that I frequently just erase everything and start over.

How did you make that happen?

I use swipe keyboard in iPhone. I turned off all "autocorrect" features they offer.

Still their random generator keeps replacing perfectly fine words _and the words before them_ with random crap that makes no sense.

Heck, I even turned off all features, and still it happens.

So I switched to another keyboard from appstore.

I would switch to another OS, but I find the others even worse in some respects I care for deeply.

  • it is under "Keyboard" in settings. I turn off:

    auto-capitalization

    auto-correction

    smart punctuation
