Full stop using spacebar on MacOS

[industrialstudios]

I know some people find it annoying, but I use the double tab to make a full stop in a sentence a lot. I can't seem to find it in any of the Affinity Apps on the MacOs and I would like to see it implemented. If this is already been requested I'm sorry I missed it, feel free to delete this post.

It should be doable with autocorrect but that preference does not accept double space :-(

Wait, you mean software actually does this intentionally?  I had actually been thinking that had to be a bug, it is so stupidly annoying as I usually bump into that while typing monospaced text and using a series of spaces to align things for display on a terminal or some such...

Now that I know that, I finally went in and found that I can indeed turn it off. YES!!!

THANK YOU!  Getting rid of that will make life much easier!

Apple's Pages and Mail does it, while Notes does not. I haven't set this up, so it must be intentional on the part of Apple.

My Android phone, using the Swift keyboard, does this for every app.

I just checked and it works in textedit but not Publisher.

Affinity doesn't use Apple's NSText framework for text objects.

Funnily though, it works in any input field – which are obviously based on NSText.
Sooo…
Let me introduce you to the workaround #3929:

• use e.g. the Preferences > Filler Text input field as your "plain text notepad"!
