Since the beginning, iPhone keyboard is wrong in entering a character first, háček second. It has been the other way around on typewriters and then computers for decades. Then some smart guy at apple thought he knows better. One of those never-fixed-bugs.
- lxgr 6mo agoWait, really? I thought "dead keys" being diacritics prefixes, not suffixes, was pretty universal. At least that's how it works with ^, ´, and ` on macOS for me.
- toast0 6mo ago> It has been the other way around on typewriters and then computers for decades. On a typewriter, I would expect one to type the latin character, hit backspace, and then add the mark? Or if using a typewriter without the necessary mark, just type the latin characters, then add the marks with a pen to the full sheet.
