I swear to God, keymonk keyboard did get rid of this several years ago, and then the Dev abandoned the idea and the keyboard, and everyone forgot about it.

You know what I could type long emails on without any issues on?

Screen based keyboards have never been as easy or fast for me as the physical ones.

I miss my Bold 2 (9700 I think). The keyboard was perfect for touch typing, shaped in a way to make it much easier to type on. Even if the screen of a new phone is half the size of my current phone, as long as it has a keyboard like the Blackberry Bolds I would honestly be quite satisfied.

Life has gotten significantly worse with big fingers as my phone has a function (that I thankfully was about to deactivate for now) which has complete AI Gen messages that auto text to a recipient if you fat finger them.

Like fuck I'm gonna answer "Sounds good! 👍" to some asshole like a fucking jackass.

I hate my Samsung's autocorrect. Sometimes it just decides to autocorrect the correct word that I typed correctly and make it into a completely different word that doesn't even make sense.

Like it is trying to determine what I 'really meant to type' based on predictive text.

Thank fuck I'm not alone in this pain!

It didn’t do that before. It’s like they fucked with touch boundaries or something a couple of versions ago, and iOS 26 is even worse…

[–] turkalino@sh.itjust.works 12 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I don’t know for sure, but I feel like autocorrect is integrated into the touch boundary system because every time I go to google something related to the Nintendo switch, my “w” keypress is detected as “e”, and I think it’s because there’s more words that begin with “se” than “sw”

I feel the same, and that is an incredibly shitty thing to do.

Doesn't Apple allow custom keyboards since... dunno, a decade? The default one was shit from the beginning, treat yourself.

Every one I have tried is shit. Like, they correct my main problems with the Apple keyboard, but simultaneously introduce an equal number of just as bad problems. Looking at you, SwiftKey, Typewise, and Typocity or whatever.

[–] jaennaet@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 hour ago

Yeah they're somehow all complete fucking garbage. I don't understand how there isn't a single keyboard for iOS that isn't shit, you'd think there'd be a market for that.

SwiftKey seems to be the least shit. It's still shit, but it's not as shit as all the other options – at least for someone who uses 2 languages daily. At least it has autocomplete for both English Finnish; fucking iOS still doesn't have autocomplete for Finnish.

And to the inevitable "switch to Android" replies: iOS is also shit, but it's less shit than Android

[–] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 2 points 14 hours ago

Just to switch to Android. Sorry, it's been too long.

[–] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 7 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

My Android keyboard isn't any better.

[–] dan@upvote.au 10 points 14 hours ago

Get a better keyboard app.

[–] SantasMagicalComfort@piefed.world -2 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

My iPhone keyboard is my favorite.

I have a pretty nice mechanical keyboard but I usually cast my phone keyboard.

[–] Harvey656@lemmy.world 14 points 13 hours ago

Is uh.... this satansmaggotycumfart 15th alt or something? Your username is... so... idk how to describe it.
