[Feature Request] ability to disable auto correct function

[BasilTomato]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The auto correct function which is enabled by default, and it is not possible to disable this. It may be a personal preference, but auto correction is the first function I tend to disable in any software solution, because I think it is quite annoying. In this case if a new line begins with the "-" character then it is replaced by a bullet list item.

Describe the solution you'd like Ability to disable auto correct functionality.

Additional context n/a

I think this is what you're after - Settings > Docs Preferences > Spell-Checker

Thanks a lot @astarq! 🙏🏻

Hi there @BasilTomato, like @astarq pointed out, you can disable spell checker in Docs Preferences here :

If you're looking for a way to disable Markdown shortcuts like ( - ) creating a bullet list item etc. At the moment this isn't possible due to how tightly markdown shortcuts are integrated into the editor. However, you can cheat these by first typing a space, then typing " - 12345" etc.

We're working on a new version of the editor, and this feature is already on our to-do list, to allow users the option to disable some keyboard shortcut modules to gain performance.

Let me know if you're looking for something else, and I'll re-open the issue ✌🏻

Best, J

Thank you, this "cheat" is fine for me.

You're very welcome! If this doesn't work (on some devices, OS / autocorrect adds spaces automatically, so Cryptee tries to compensate for these to make sure Markdown works as expected) try something like " -12345" then later add the space between "-" and "12345".

It's a constant struggle to make sure things work across OSes, and browsers, and make sure it works on all types of different auto-correctors. (especially on android, because text-selection & input is handled differently in different versions of android customized different by different vendors)

Thank you for the additional info, I have already disabled each and every auto correction function on Android also. Simply I don't like this function, there are always shortcomings.
