This resource is awesome. I use Espanso for the same thing system-wide. As an example, since I have an annoying tendency to hit the semicolon instead of the apostrophe, I have an ever-expanding replacement list that looks like this:
You’ve reminded me that I keep forgetting to add propagate_case: true to these. There goes the next couple of hours… 
edit: underscores, sheesh.
The Language Tool plugin, while great, does not autocorrect as you type. (IF it does, someone please tell me how!)
I’m a newbie in Obsidian - how do we add these codes in to obsidian?
Already the native autocorrect and spellchecker used in macOS would be wonderful!
Same here. Would love to have some form of autocorrect.
I use the Typing Transformer plugin as a makeshift auto-correction tool.
I have tested it on 56000 lines worth of rules and it works fast. The plugin also works on mobile (where I think most people would still use their keyboard’s auto-correction features).
I write in a native language that uses many compound words (like German) and is agglutinative, so I need to put spaces before and after both my “BadWords” and “GoodWords”, but it is less of a problem in English.
I cannot recommend it enough.
I also have two vast dictionaries (English and my native-language one) that I use with the Various Complements plugin, which unfortunately doesn’t do auto-correction.
The two plugins should sort of be merged into one.
Adding my vote. Spelling auto correct is a necessary, basic functionality, even though I realize it a significant coding project. I have to open EVERY sheet in iA Writer or TextEdit if I’m going to add more than a few words.
The macOS built-in autocorrect would suffice for me.
I’d love to see macOS built-in autocorrect! Despite the problems with Electron (it is a bug, isn’t?), it would be a very good start indeed!
+1 please add
The lack of autocorrect might be a deal breaker for me. I’m not able to achieve the flow that I need in order to fully utilize Obsidian. I
But not for us Windows users
(This is my request to 1) enable an autocorrect that 2) has cross OS compatibility)
The Linter plugin has some of this functionality: GitHub - platers/obsidian-linter: An Obsidian plugin that formats and styles your notes with a focus on configurability and extensibility.
really missing this as well – MacOS native autocorrect speeds up my typing quite a lot. That said, my understand is that Obsidian is built on Electron, and so support for autocorrect would probably have to come from there.
I support this idea.
One thing I’ve noticed is that the windows(I use windows 10) apps have the auto-correct function. Apps from store and system apps. Ex. If I miss a ^ it auto corrects it.
Someone knows if there is a possibility to just “allow” windows to affect obsdian?
I’m also here to support this idea. I used Notepad++ for a global change, but I’d much rather have autocorrect be part of Obsidian, and/or the option to global find/replace.
Hi there, is there a current workaround for an autocorrect system similar to the MacOS system level one available in Obsidian yet? Just downloaded a few days ago, did not realize this would even be something I would have to consider while choosing a note-taking app haha. Thanks!
