Oh my thanks for that, I thought I was going crazy.

The one that keeps getting to me is that iOS insists on putting periods instead of spaces when I only pressed the space bar once so.I.end.up.with.sentences.like.this. (when it starts doing it it can be extremely consistent); yes I know about the double space -> period shortcut but like in the video that's not it.

There was a time where the iOS keyboard just worked.

I don't want my keyboard to insert a period unless I actually type a period.

Does the iOS keyboard not let you turn that off?

That’s what that is? I had no idea why that kept happening

I have searched for a proper keyboard replacement. But there is not a single one that 1) works properly without major bugs, 2) adheres to privacy standards (because no way I am sending all keystrokes to Microslop) and 3) does not cost a fortune. Typewise came close, but seems abandoned now.

If anyone has a recommendation, please reply.
