Auto spacing after punctuation
RespondidaSwift key becomes worst one due to it do not have option to on/off auto spacing after punctuation. If I'm typing my mail which includes 3 dots. I want to back space each dot place. Very worst. And irritating. Please include an option to on or off auto spacing after punctuation.
Hi,
The 3-dot punctuation is called Ellipsis.
It's available by entering 123 key and long-press on the period key.
Also, tap 3 times period key will also insert an ellipsis, the dots behind will delete the space of the dot before.

i agree, please put an option to disable auto punctuation. ps: the official comment is beside the point
Quoto. Is too difficult for you create an option for disabilite the automatic space after point???
You need to provide us with the option to turn off auto spacing after inserting a punctuation
So many people asked about it... but nothing happened... this annoying problem makes me to leave the SwiftKey keyboard... sorry but no other way... don't wait for an update, the developers seem to ignore this because so many threads the last years over, but nothing has changed
Despite having the option to turn off automatic spacing, entering an ellipsis even with this feature turned off automatically deletes the space beforehand! It's antagonising me unbelievably. I even tried enabling the "Double tap the space bar to insert a period" feature. Alas, failure! ... The only way I can get this to work (mind you an ellipsis is only grammatically correct if it is used WITH an leading and preceding space) is to enter my desired three periods to form an ellipsis, allow the keyboard to auto-correct (incorrectly), then navigate back to where the space should be with my cursor and insert the space, before navigating back to the end of my typing to continue.
I've reported this another time, still hoping after several years, that someone starts to care:

In Slovenian, the ellipsis is non-contiguous. It must have a space before it. This makes Swift keyboard actually producing grammar mistakes while autocorrecting.
Second, I cannot use DuckDuckGo's bangs with autocorrecting punctuation spacing. They require an exclamation mark before the bang keyword. Autocorrection moves the exclamation mark after the previous word.
To me, this spacing autocorrection is the single most annoying feature of the Swift keyboard.
Uninstalling the Swift keyboard for now, but keeping notification on from this thread, should this be fixed.
