Settings → Chat → Autocorrect (off by default, per device) switches the composer and queued-message textareas from spellcheck=false/autocapitalize=off/autocorrect=off to spellcheck, sentence capitals and autocorrect, so phone keyboards correct and suggest in chat. The terminal input line is unchanged. Closes devswha#753

…aging keys repeat (#965) ## Problem Two small touch-input papercuts in the terminal lens: 1. **Autocorrect in the input line.** On iPhone the terminal input line (input-line mode) leaves iOS Auto-Correction and spell-check on. Typing a command with a non-dictionary token (a flag, path or branch name) and pressing Space can let the keyboard swap it for a dictionary word, and Send sends the rewritten command. Every other command or text field (composer, queue editor, key-bar settings, secret input, Portal panel) already turns autocorrect off. 2. **Held key-bar Backspace fires once.** Holding the key-bar ⌫ deletes one character; clearing a line takes one tap per character. The hold-to-repeat added in #758 covers only the four arrows. Same for Del, Home, End, PgUp and PgDn. ## Cause 1. `src/components/TerminalInput.tsx`: the textarea sets only `autoCapitalize="off"`; no `autoCorrect="off"`, no `spellCheck={false}`. Its doc comment even listed autocorrect as a rewrite the line exists to absorb. 2. `src/lib/keyRepeat.ts`: `isRepeatableKeyBarItem` returns true only for `ArrowUp/Down/Left/Right`. `KeyBar` wires press-and-hold only for repeatable items, so every other key is a plain click. (#718 left "should Backspace, Delete, PageUp, PageDown repeat too?" as an open question; #758 shipped arrows only.) ## Fix Two commits: 1. `TerminalInput` textarea gets `autoCorrect="off"` and `spellCheck={false}`, matching `Composer.tsx` and the queue editor. The doc comment now says autocorrect stays off and why. 2. `isRepeatableKeyBarItem` uses a set: the arrows plus Backspace, Delete, Home, End, PageUp, PageDown, with or without saved modifiers (like the arrows). Escape, Tab, BackTab, Enter, Insert, ^C/^D/^Z, F-keys, printable keys and modifier buttons stay single-shot: a repeated Tab or ^C would act many times on what one press meant. Delay and rate are unchanged (400 ms / 50 ms). ## Tests - `src/lib/keyRepeat.test.ts`: the positive case now covers the six editing/paging keys (bare and with saved modifiers); the negative case keeps Escape, Tab, BackTab, Enter, Insert, ctrl-c, ctrl-d, F1, printable keys and modifiers. Fails without the fix (1 fail), passes with it. - `scripts/key-bar-hold-repeat-regression.ts`: new step 5b holds the key-bar ⌫ and checks it repeats (the DEL byte on the input path, 11 sends in the run) and sends nothing after release. Without the fix the step fails ("got 1"). `bun run check run bun scripts/key-bar-hold-repeat-regression.ts`: all steps pass. - `scripts/terminal-input-regression.ts` (run inside `ui-regression.ts`): asserts the input line has `autocorrect="off"`, `spellcheck="false"`, `autocapitalize="off"`. `bun run check run --build bun scripts/ui-regression.ts`: pass (exit 0), including "PASS terminal input". - `bun run typecheck`: pass. `bun run test:unit`: 3069 pass, 0 fail (including the #949 conventions guard; the new post-release wait carries a `// fixed wait:` note). - Native iOS autocorrect was not reproduced on a device; the fix relies on WebKit honouring `autocorrect="off"`, as the composer already does. ## Notes - Refs #862 (held backspace does not repeat). This fixes the key-bar ⌫ case. The issue does not say whether the reporter held the key-bar key or the system keyboard's backspace; the soft keyboard's own repeat goes through xterm's textarea, not this code, so I did not use "Closes". - `DEFAULT_KEY_BAR_ITEMS` is unchanged: ⌫ is still opt-in through key-bar customization. Neither #862 nor the docs ask for it in the default bar, and changing defaults touches settings migration and telemetry customization flags. - #935 (opt-in composer autocorrect, open) touches `Composer.tsx` / `PaneTerminal.tsx` / `compose.ts` only; no file overlap. Its body says "the terminal input line keeps its current attributes"; after this PR those attributes are off, matching the composer default. I suggest its toggle should not cover the terminal line, since shell tokens are the worst case for autocorrect. - #943 and #946 (open) touch `KeyBar.tsx` but not the repeat logic or `keyRepeat.ts`; this PR does not edit `KeyBar.tsx`. - Changelog: one fragment, `changelog.d/terminal-input-autocorrect-and-key-repeat.md` (two Fixed entries). ## Merge-session review Fixed (3468ec3): - `docs/terminal-input.md` still said only the arrows repeat when held. It now lists the arrows, ⌫, Del, Home, End, PgUp and PgDn (saved combinations of these repeat too) and says Esc, Tab, Enter, ^C, F-keys and modifier buttons send once. - `docs/development.md` now describes `key-bar-hold-repeat-regression.ts` as covering holds of arrows and editing keys. Docs only, so there is no new regression test; `src/lib/keyRepeat.test.ts` and browser step 5b already pin the behavior. `bun run check fast` passes. The changelog fragment was already accurate. Deferred: none. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…bar (#964) ## Problem A phone shows a pane in the terminal lens while a desktop tab of the same pane takes the pty back to its own size (a click or key in the desktop terminal, or the desktop window coming back to the front). The phone's xterm stays at phone width while herdr streams rows drawn for the desktop's width, so lines wrap in the wrong place and agent TUIs look scrambled. Typing in the input line, Send, Enter and key-bar taps did not fix it. Only a touch on the grid itself, a focus change or a reload did. ## Cause In the terminal lens, an interact client stores `pane-geometry` in `sharedGridRef` and then ignores it, because it drives the grid itself. The only thing that took the size back while the window kept its focus was `reclaim`, and that runs only for a pointerdown or keydown whose target is inside `term.element`. The phone's usual input paths are all outside that element: - `sendTerminalLine` submits from the `TerminalInput` textarea. - `pressEnter` sends `\r`/keys from the same line. - `pressKey` calls `term.input()` from the key bar, with no DOM event on the grid. ## Fix - The size check moves out of `reclaim` into `reassertIfStale()`. When the shared grid differs from this grid, the tab is in use and has not released its pane, it calls `refit()` (force resize). - `reclaim` keeps its event filters (target inside the grid, no IME/repeat key, primary button) and then calls the helper. - `sendTerminalLine`, `pressEnter` and `pressKey` call it before they send, so the resize frame goes out before the input on the same socket. - `TerminalInput` gets an optional `onFocus`, wired to the same helper. Tapping into the input line counts as the user being back, the same way a tap on the grid does. - No resize was added for the keyboard opening or closing. That is a separate policy question (viewport-resize-2). ## Tests - `scripts/chat-size-regression.ts` `checkFocusedWindowReclaimsTerminalSize` (already in `ui-contexts-checks.ts`, so it runs in the browser lane) now continues with two clients after its existing steps. A desktop at 1280x800 and a phone at 390x844 in line mode take turns: - a tap into the input line; - a line sent with Enter; - a key-bar Ctrl+C; - Enter on the empty line. Each phone step comes after a desktop key has taken the pty back. Each step asserts that the phone's own-size `resize` frame goes out before its `submit`/`input` frame, and that the pane's shell (`stty size`) reports the phone's size again. - `CHAT_SIZE_CASE=reclaim bun scripts/chat-size-regression.ts` now runs that check on its own. - Without the `src/` change the new step fails ("a tap into the input line takes the pane back to the phone's grid"). With it, `bun run check run --build bun scripts/chat-size-regression.ts` (with `CHAT_SIZE_CASE=reclaim`) passes. - `bun run typecheck` and `bun run test:unit` (3069 pass, 0 fail) pass. - `check full` / `concurrent` was not run. ## Notes - Source: a mobile-terminal stability audit, finding viewport-resize-1. Related: #472 (the chat-lens version) and #712 (an attach holds the pane's size). Neither covers this path. - No open PR touches `reclaim`, `sharedGridRef`, `sendTerminalLine`, `pressEnter` or `pressKey`. #951, #950, #946, #945, #936, #935, #932, #910, #894, #859 and #822 edit other parts of `PaneTerminal.tsx`. #936 also edits `TerminalInput.tsx` (dictation), so a small textual conflict is possible there. - The size tug-of-war between two devices that both type into the same pane remains by design: whichever device the user is typing on takes the pty. A "sized by another device" notice and passive adoption of the foreign grid were left out. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Thank you for this, and for the careful tests. Closing in favor of a smaller change without a new setting: the app is reducing its settings (#1099, #1104), and this one would also widen the telemetry schema. The chat message box will get autocorrect, suggestions and sentence capitals by default, while the terminal input line keeps them off (#753). |

) ## Change Closes #753. Replaces #935 without adding a setting. The chat message box (`Composer.tsx`) and a queued message's textarea (`PaneTerminal.tsx`) set `spellCheck={false}`, `autoCapitalize="off"` and `autoCorrect="off"`. On a phone (iOS especially) the box therefore had no autocorrect, no QuickType suggestions and no sentence capitals, although most of what is typed to an agent is prose. Both now use `spellCheck`, `autoCapitalize="sentences"` and `autoCorrect="on"`. Fields for code-like input keep them off: the terminal input line (`TerminalInput.tsx`, still asserted by `scripts/terminal-input-regression.ts`), secret input, and the path, branch and relay fields. This matches other mobile agent clients: t3code's native iOS composer defaults to `autoCorrect`/`spellCheck` true (`apps/mobile/src/native/T3ComposerEditor.ios.tsx`), and Paseo's composer passes no keyboard props, so it takes React Native's defaults. Both turn them off only on code-like fields. Trade-off: a phone keyboard may now replace an unknown word (a flag, a branch or function name) in the chat box before Send, and desktop browsers underline unknown words. ## Validation - `bun run typecheck`: passes. - `HERDR_TEST_MODE=unit bun test ./scripts/changelog-fold.test.ts ./src/conventions.test.ts ./scripts/conventions.test.ts`: 27 pass, 0 fail. - Not checked on a real phone keyboard.

Closes #753
Change
The composer and queued-message textareas set
spellCheck={false},autoCapitalize="off"andautoCorrect="off", so on a phone (iOS especially) the chat box gets no autocorrect, no QuickType suggestions and no sentence capitals. That suits commands and paths, but most of what gets typed to an agent is prose, which is slow to type without them.This adds Settings → Chat → Composer → Autocorrect, following the proposal in #753: off by default (today's behaviour), saved per device (
SETTING_SCOPE"device", since it is about this device's keyboard). When on, both textareas usespellCheck,autoCapitalize="sentences"andautoCorrect="on".
