    If you make the same typo often enough and don’t correct it with the autocorrect feature (eg backspacing or jumping to the wrong character instead) Gboard will think it’s what you’re meaning to type and add it to your dictionary. When it comes up in the little autocorrect thing above your keyboard, you can drag it into the trash. You could also go through your dictionary and delete specific words as well. That’s what works for me anyways, not sure if I’m correct

        Happy to help! Bonus tip, on Android you can hold the space bar down and slide the cursor left or right to bring it to specific letters too. On apple you can jump lines with the cursor by doing the same thing, just up/down instead

          Yeah, I’ve been using the spacebar cursor thing for years, only after a similar interaction. It gets annoying at times since it will often speed up way past the point I’m trying to go, however.
