Jerboa doesn't check spelling as you type (self.main)

Exactly what the title says. I'm not a native English speaker, so almost everything regarding auto-correct and word suggestions is turned off, except for grammar and speeling checks, that is set to underline. Underlining works in every other app, except Jerboa. Why is that?

I recommend using SwiftKey keyboard not g-board, not because of privacy, but because its better regarding multi language autocorrect and has many features the G-board lacks.

Seconded, I've been using SwiftKey for as long as I can remember, and the multi language support is pretty great, even if I do get my a converted to à occasionally.

Ah you can remove the auto correct for that by long clocking on it ;)

Hm, will try it. Can you remove autocorrect from it? Cuz my current settings with underline bad grammar or misspeled words and just tap on the word/phrase to get the suggestion for the word/phrase to be correct, suits me just fine. I don't like auto-correct at all, it messes with my native language spelling.

Yeah you can turn autocorrect off in general or delete words you don't want from it
