I've just landed bug 860462 into Gaia master, enabling keyboard auto
correction.
Because we need feedback on this urgently, I've enabled it by default.
Unless you do a make reset-gaia to get a new settings database, however,
you may have to enable it manually with Settings->Keyboard->Auto correction.
Auto correction works even if you don't have word suggestions turned on,
but works best if you do, because a suggested word turns blue if it is
going to be used as an auto-correction. You can use backspace to undo
an auto-correction and if you do, the word will not be corrected again.
We (Christoph, Gregor and I) are working actively to improve the quality
of the suggestions and corrections. We know there are serious problems
with them now, but we're turning this feature on because we need help to
get it tested if we're going to be able to uplift it and ship it.
If you find incorrect (or sub-optimal) corrections or suggestions,
please file them in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=860550
Just add a comment saying what you typed and what the keyboard did. If
it is not obvious, also add what you would have liked the keyboard to do
instead. This kind of feedback is especially desired for languages
other than English!
I'm cross-posting this to dev-gaia and dev-b2g to get the wide
distribution. Please followup on dev-gaia.
David
