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. šŸ˜®ā€šŸ’Ø

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 #IodƩOS, but I don't recall if #GrapheneOS has the same issue, because I only tried it briefly.

@rl_dane I think it depends on the keyboard more than the Android flavor. I use Heliboard and it doesn't do that. Its auto-correct isn't great but this is not one of the issues. šŸ˜„

@rl_dane @fedops doesn't heli board at least offer its own spell checker for the system?

It does, but it tries to check the spelling of hyphenated words. :/

@rl_dane @fedops There aren't any other keyboards I think that can also act as the system spellchecker... I've had spotty behavior in that overall, with multiple languages or just spell checking itself. Hopefully one of these keyboard projects comes up with something :P

I've settled for using FUTO keyboard for now, as it doesn't have that issue.
