Forgive my kvetching, but it drives me nuts that #AOSP-based #Android OSes always treat hyphenated words as words.

For example, if you type in "apple-cart," you get a red squiggly underline and it tries to recommend replacing it with "apricot" or something. The only way around it is to add every. single. hyphenated. word. you. use. into the dictionary. 😮‍💨

It's been a constant, daily annoyance for the past five and a half years, and the only fix is to install something like GBoard and use its spelling correction engine or whatever you call it, and I'd rather not.

I've experienced it on #CalyxOS and #IodéOS, but I don't recall if #GrapheneOS has the same issue, because I only tried it briefly.

@rl_dane sister-in-law well-to-do apple-cart able-bodied topsy-turvy. #GOS and FUTO Keyboard didn't complain once.

FUTO probably adds its own spelling check engine. I'll try installing it and see if I can switch engines without switching keyboards. ;)

I used to just install Gboard, but leave it inactive, and it fixed the problem because it provided a spelling correction engine that worked even when the keyboard itself wasn't active.

@rl_dane Your way sounds very creative. I don't use any G* stuff and am happy with the features from FUTO 😊👍 Good luck!

FUTO Keyboard fixed the problem, but only when using FUTO keyboard.

I guess I'll stick with it a little while. ;)

Yeah, I'm mostly off of the G* stuff on my phone. I do have Google Maps (not logged in, no background battery, no background network, stuck in a private space that's off most of the time), but I rarely use it. "GMaps WV" and #CoMaps cover 95% of my use cases. ;)
