Feature Request: Double space to insert period #37

Open marlonjames71 opened 2 years ago

marlonjames71 commented 2 years ago

Something you don't get in Obsidian but is all over macOS is being able to press the space key twice quickly to insert a period. Would love if we could have this functionality in Obsidian.

Thanks!

What platform are you using it on?

marlonjames71 commented 2 years ago

macOS.

Doesn't it already just do that? It does for me on iPad.

marlonjames71 commented 2 years ago

Not that I can tell on Mac. Maybe iPad is different for some reason. I just checked again cause I thought I might have opened this issue when it already does that. But it doesn't. I looked again through the options and I don't see anything for that.

Correct. CleanShot 2022-09-11 at 09 52 50@2x

But I think it might only work with native text input fields which I don't think Obsidian uses. Any app that's using NSTextView, UITextView, NSTextField, or UITextField should have that feature and that's why it works all over the system and in native apps. With most what I would assume to be electron writing apps, this feature seems to be non existent.
