That is what puzzled me as well. It litelarly works in every other app, except Jerboa. In have no idea why, and I have asked this same question a few times here on Lemmy, but no one seems to know the answer.
Yeah, those kinda puzzled me as well. They didn’t look like they’re varnished, but I suspect I could be wrong about that. After all, they do work, lol 😂.
That said, isn’t spellcheck underlining more frequently in the apps you’re typing into rather than the virtual keyboard?
That is something that has always puzzled me, and yes, I believe you’re right.
But, the confusing part for me is, Gboard has a spellcheck option, and if I disable it, it doesn’t underline words when typing (in apps that normally check spelling).
But, let’s take Jerboa for example. It doesn’t work in Jerboa. No matter if enabled or disabled, there is no spellcheck in Jerboa, period.
And that is why things are confusing. Is it the apps that do the spellcheck or the keyboard 🤔.
For me, it would be logical if the keyboard does it (since it’s software, you can easilly add this option), just reports back to the software whether it should underline the word or not. But I could be wrong about this since I’m not a dev.
I didn’t to be honest… I had no interest in dolls at that age. Sure, when I was toddler, but I think we did that in 3rd or 4th grade, something like that.
I think I just wrote back something like “Oh that’s really interesting.” in my reply… never heard from her again 😂. The teacher wondered why, I never told her what I wrote in my second letter 😂.
We has this penpal thing back in school, you send a letter to an unknown kid somewhere, the schools exchanged the letters and made the letter network (which kid wrote to the other one, so when you write back, your letter gets sent to the same kid).
Anyway, I wrote the first letter and gave some basic info, my name, my parent’s names, what I’m interested in, some interesting books I’ve read, etc. I got a reply from the other end, some girl from another town (can’t remember the name now though) and this letter was a 6 page dissertation on her dolls… I just said fuck it 🤷.
OK, what if I just care for privacy and I’m happy with the QWERTY layout?
I’d love to ditch Gboard, but it has my native language in it, plus word underline when misspelling words. I don’t use predictive text or anything like that, just underline (I hate predictive text, it messes up my train of thought).
