For example, if I type out a sentence and decide I want to add asterisks around a word for emphasis, why does Gboard replace the space between the previous word and the emphasized word instead of just adding the new character? Is this added functionality for something I just don’t understand?
Edit: I believe I have fixed the issue by disabling the “Smart Compose” option.
As an Android-smartphone user with an iPad, agreed. Typing and any text operations on iOS are terrible.
last time i used an iphone (years ago) I really liked the keyboard. it took me a long time to be happy with android’s. now i’m comfortable with openboard, and keeping an eye on florisboard
