Autocorrect compensation for bottom row letters
What would you like?
I would like, if possible, an autocorrect setting that detects bottom row letters between two words already in the dictionary. For instance if I typed "thisnis" the autocorrect would recognise the words "this" and "is" and replace the n with a space. Similar to the way the top row numbers can be autocorrected when they’re in the middle of words.
Why it would help
I have large hands and my taps on the space bar are often misinterpreted as taps on the bottom row letter keys, particularly the n and b keys, and sometimes I have to go back and correct not just two but several quickly typed words that are missed by the autocorrect because they are typed out as one long word with b/n between them instead of spaces. Swiftkey was able to compensate for that for the most part, and I'd love for that to be the case with EFKey too

@BowenTheSheep this is already in EFKey: a bottom row letter between two words can count as a space, and the closer your tap lands to the space bar, the more likely it gets split. In the current version "thisnis" turns into "this is" when you hit space. Longer chains like "thisnisbgood" need more evidence, and 2.2.2, the next App Store update, helps there: the keyboard learns where you really hit the space bar (each time you delete an n and tap space instead), and it also splits chains where one of the words has a typo.
If even two words don't split for you, I need to know how many languages you have turned on and whether autocorrect is on. With more than two languages the keyboard falls back to the older engine, which can't do this. A few real examples that stayed glued together would help me check the longer chains.
