Alright, while we’re talking about iOS autocomplete - I have a question. I noticed that sometimes when I’m typing an out-of-dictionary word, sometimes the keyboard will actually type the key next to the key I tapped that would type a real word. I imagine they’ve put a lot of effort into making the touch keyboard accurate, so is this a feature to that end or, more likely, is it a Baader-Meinhof thing, that I only notice when it happens?
- smitop 6y agoThis is probably the keyboard adjusting the tap area of the keys based on the predicted likelyhood of that key being pressed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=20&v=wPmVKyhyl9U https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=20&v=wPmVKyhyl9U
- rjeli 6y agoWow, I never would have been able to google that. Thanks for confirming I'm not crazy.
- nbardy 6y agoI just moved to android and this bugs the shit out of me. It’s definitely real. I had to retype a character once by using the side of the key farthest from the one it was touch jacking.
- vultour 6y agoI always felt like I was the only one that experienced this. Even worse, I think sometimes it highlights the character you actually want, but once you release your finger it inserts something else. It happens very rarely but I remember I had to retype a character 5 or 6 times at one point, thinking I was going mad.
