Support OS-level auto correct (text correction) in macOS

This is the biggest pain point for me writing on Obsidian. Over the years of using google docs I developed a habit of typing fast and making mistakes but adding every mistake I made to the autocorrect dictionary, this made typing very very fast. It’s a real shame I can’t do the same thing on Obsidian.

The conversation above suggests that this is to do with an electron bug, but it seems nobody knew the answers to the following questions:

  1. Is it possible for the developers of Obsidian to fix this themselves or are the dependent on electron?
  2. Someone asked if there was a way to ‘efficiently file this upstream Electron bug at the Electron GitHub repo’, but no one responded. Does anyone know how to do this? I followed the link but couldn’t work it out.

In short, I guess it would be good to know whether this really is a feature request, or whether we just have to hold tight and wait for electron to be sorted.
