For example, if I type out a sentence and decide I want to add asterisks around a word for emphasis, why does Gboard replace the space between the previous word and the emphasized word instead of just adding the new character? Is this added functionality for something I just don’t understand?

Edit: I believe I have fixed the issue by disabling the “Smart Compose” option.

    I used swipe a lot until I got a big phone (a glaxy fold), with the wide screen I find I use swipe typing less and less. As soon as you can comfortably use two thumbs at once it gets much faster and you also dint have to worry about typing words tvat arent in the dictionary. I can tap type at 60wpm fwiw.
