Autocorrect on/off indicator
With #S597 having a way implemented to quickly toggle autocorrect on or off, it might be helpful for people who use that a lot, to have a visual indictator showing the current status of the toggle. Similar to how the current language is visible on the space key.

@muleluku when autocorrection is off, the spacebar now shows a crossed-out abc next to your language codes, and it disappears as soon as you switch it back on. It follows your setting only, so search and address fields where the app turns corrections off on its own stay as they are. Coming in build 475 and in 2.2.2 on the App Store, and you can hide it in EF › LAB.
Maybe I'm making it to complicated now, but do you think it needs to be tied to whether any of the options for toggling autocorrect via the keyboard is enabled at all?
My thinking is, if I'm not an autocorrect user at all and I just switch it off in the settings to have it permanently off, I might be irritated what the symbol means and where to find the setting to remove it.
@muleluku you're right, without a quick switch the mark only confuses. Fixed for build 476 and 2.2.2 on the App Store: the crossed-out abc only shows when you have the switch in the toolbar, on a spacebar swipe, or on the comma or 123 long-press. If you turned autocorrection off only in the app, the spacebar stays as it is.
