Corrected Lemmy to Lemur. Leaving it because it's relevant to the post. I use the keyboard swiping/path-drawing function on Samsung keyboard
So I assume the issue here is that your keyboard is suggesting weird junk.
I'm not familiar with Samsung Keyboard, but I googled your problem, and it looks like a lot of people complain about bad autocorrect suggestions. As a quick fix, could you try installing an alternative keyboard like Swiftkey or Google's GBoard from the Playstore?
If you want to fix it and keep using Samsung keyboard, you might need to play with the settings. When you are typing a word and it suggests "help", tap and hold the word to see if you can delete it
Well there’s you’re answer. Swiping is imprecise, andriod/iOS use predictive models to guess which word you’re trying to type… and it’s usually (but not always,) awful at it.
Especially with words that have duplicate letters like hello and lemmy.
I always wondered how it handled duplicate letters. If you stay hovering over one key it doesn't work as well. Thanks for answer (TFA)
Try making a little circle or wiggle over the double letters instead of just hovering.
I thought maybe there was a way to make it stop diverting and learn what I want it to do. I don't think it even knows Lemmy is a word.
Also why does Lemur delete posts?
