Describe the Bug
Super small and minor bug but everytime I type “i” it trys to auto capitalize it but doesn’t do it in time so it blends the words together. Makes the chat very hard to read and annoying.
Example: itried
Steps to Reproduce
Just start typing anything and then continue typing really fast while putting “i” but in lowercase. So if you typed “i tried to fix this bug” it will type "Itried to fix this bug "
Expected Behavior
leave the ‘i’ as lowercase or enable a mode to turn this off. Or detect that and put a space after it would be fine if you type I and then it auto corrects to caps and adds the space after for the new word, this is how chrome and others do it

Does this stop you from using Cursor
No - Cursor works, but with this issue
Hey, it’s quite strange, I can’t repro this. Maybe there’s something set up in your system? Check your keyboard settings in the text input section.
Really? ■■■■ I checked my keyboard settings and tried turning auto spell check on and off. I noticed it working in chrome for instance that “I” I typed right there was lower case it changed it to uppercase here and put a space after. I think for some reason it wont put the space after in cursor
In theory, this shouldn’t work in Cursor at all. Has it been like this from the beginning, or did it appear at some point?
I feel like it appeared at some point but I have been using cursor for a while so hard to tell when it happened. Could be a mac update caused this or a cursor update hard to say, and it only bothers me with that 'I" nothing else, it doesnt auto spell check my words either because u would think if it combines the words then it would try to correct them.
from what I found online" 
It’s a system-level autocorrect rule:
Apple’s devices automatically correct lowercase “i” to uppercase “I” when typed as a standalone word. This is because:
- “I” is always capitalized in English when referring to yourself.
- It’s hard-coded in Apple’s autocorrect dictionary as a high-priority rule.
Why nothing else gets corrected the same way:
- Other words aren’t corrected unless they’re clear typos or in your personal dictionary.
- Apple doesn’t want to over-correct and risk false changes, so most corrections are subtle or optional unless it’s a high-certainty rule — and “I” is considered 100% certain.
Can you check if there are any replacements in the keyboard settings under the text input and text replacement sections? I just added a new rule to correct the lowercase “i,” and it shows that it will be changed. If it’s different for you, then it might be caused by something else.
Oh yes I do have a replacement for lower case I to capital I in there. just removed it and it fixed it ty so much this was driving me insane
