OMG!!!! I thought I was somehow actually pressing period for years! I didn't feel like I was but I never noticed I wasn't actually pressing it and it was instead auto inserting periods. WTF! Thanks!!!!
IM PRAYING THIS FIXES IT. I really cannot express how annoyed I’ve been at the search bar keyboard in Safari. This has been such a huge sticking point.
Sorry, it won't. Sure seems like it should though right?
