Autoinsert word by pressing space-bar

[suamikim]

Hi there!

I just started to use the smart keyboard and am really happy with it's features (especially the gestures...).

There's just one problem I'm experiencing:
Whenever I press the space-bar it changes the word i actually typed to the word that is selected in the "proposal-box".
I'm using the german keymap. When i type the word "save" e.g. and press the space-bar it changes it automatically to "sagen" because "save" is obviously not known in the german dictionary.
This behaviour could sometimes be pretty handy but for my purposes it almost always leads to misspellings.

I know that this can be undone by pressing the "delete"-key immediately after the word has been changed but it happens pretty frequently that I recognize the automatic correction after I've allready typed some other words and have to manually navigate back to the according word and correct it which is not exactely convenient...

Is there an option to turn this feature off like in the standard keyboard-app? Unfortunately I haven't found one so far...

Thanks & best regards,

Mik

Hi
There is an option, and think the description is quite obvious

Code: Select all

Auto-complete:
Spacebar and punctuation automatically insert highlighted word

I'm sorry, but I just can't find this option. Maybe there's a mistake in the german translation of the menu?
The Auto-Completion-Menu on my phone looks like the following (with free translations of mine):

Auto. Großschreibung (Auto. capitalization)
kleine Rechtsschreibkorrektur (Small spellcheck)
Vorschläge anzeigen (Show suggestions)
No landscape suggestion
Automatische Vervollständigung - Leertasten und Zeichensetzung automatisch einsetzen (Automatic completion - Insert blanks and punctuation automatically)
Verschiebe Satzzeichen auto. (Move blank automatically)
Leerzeichen nach Auswahl - Füge eine Leerstelle ein, wenn ein Wort aus den Vorschlägen gewählt wurde (Blank after selection - Insert a blank after a word from the suggestions has been selected)
Kontakte Wörterbuch (Contacts dictionary)
Benutzerwörterbuch (Custom dictionary)
Benutzerwörterbuch leeren (Clear custom dictionary)
Neue Wörter lernen (Learn new words)
Benutzerdefinierte Texte (Custom texts)
Immer vorschlagen (Always suggest)
Vorschläge für Satzzeichen (Suggestions for punctuation)
Punkt bei doppelten Leerzeichen (Dot at double-blank)
Auto. zusammensetzen (Auto. combine)
T9 length priority
Suggest numbers
Apostrophe separator

I don't know, if the order of the menu-entries is the same in the english & the german menu but if it is you could perhabs tell me the exact position of the mentioned menu-entry?
The option "Automatische Vervollständigung - Leertasten und Zeichensetzung automatisch einsetzen (Automatic completion - Insert blanks and punctuation automatically)" doesn't do the trick for me...

Thanks

Ok, I just found the correct option:

"Automatische Vervollständigung - Leertasten und Zeichensetzung automatisch einsetzen" which actually means "Auto-completion - Automatically insert spacebar and punctuation".
I allready wondered what this would actually do and if the app really knows how to correctely insert spacebars and punctuation

The correct german translation would be:
"Automatische Vervollständigung - Leertaste und Zeichensetzung fügt markiertes Wort automatisch ein" ("Auto-completion - Spacebar and punctuation automatically insert highlighted word").

Thanks for the help!

OK I will fix the german translation, it was completely wrong indeed!
