For decades, I've been accustomed to having to spell everything correctly when dealing with computers, particularly when coding. Mistakes just were not tolerated!

So I find it amusing that AI easily understands pretty much whatever I type, no matter what I misspell or typo. I don't have to worry about looking up how to spell some obscure word, or slow down my typing to get every character correct.

Auto-correct programs have been doing that since before AI.

Yes, I've had auto correct some a number of years. Helps when I start typing too fast!

AutoCorrect, I'm tired of your shirt!

ChatGPT auto corrects my typing AFTER I submit the prompt.

From a search:
No, Claude will not auto-correct your typing in real time as you are physically pressing keys. Because Claude is an AI language model and not a traditional text editor or IDE, it does not have a native spell-check or active autocomplete engine that modifies your text while you type a prompt.

However, Claude handles the context of your typing in a few distinct ways depending on what you mean:

1. In Your Prompts (Typos and Misspellings)It naturally "auto-corrects" the meaning: You do not need to worry about typos or broken grammar when asking Claude to code. Its language processing is advanced enough to understand misspelled variable names or broken sentences and will interpret your intent accurately.

2. In the Code It Generates It writes clean code: If you pass Claude a messy block of code with syntax errors or typos, the code it generates back to you will fix those syntax issues automatically.

3. If You Are Using "Claude Code" (The CLI Tool) No inline completion: If you are using Anthropic's developer terminal tool, Claude Code, it functions like a command-line interface. It will not actively suggest or overwrite characters while your cursor is moving.

How to Get Auto-Correction While Coding
If you want active, real-time typing auto-correction, autocomplete, and syntax highlighting while you manually code, you should use a dedicated code editor integrated with AI extensions: Use VS Code or Cursor paired with extensions like Claude Dev or GitHub Copilot. These tools provide IDE-level autocomplete, red underlines for syntax errors, and tab-to-complete typing.

That's what I could find on the subject.

I find autocorrect can be a curse – as noted, shirt gets real

Wolfhag, yes, I use AI for cleanup but not in-process correction.
