I hate to be the one to break it to you but ... I think we're not supposed to do this any more? It's a change I still struggle with.
Apologies to any I've offended with this. Style guides were updated in the last 4-5 years to say that one single space after a period is correct. I think Word even changed how it handles it as well.

- xp84 2y agoYeah on Apple devices two spaces gets converted to a period and one space. It’s just a shortcut, it doesn’t leave the 2 spaces in.
- arcanemachiner 2y agoYeah, I was talking about the shortcut. Although, since a period is just a swipe away, it's not so bad.
