      They are probably referring to the predictive text row above the keyboard not appearing when typing in the search / address bar. The current behavior does match Safari, but this is something that has always bugged me with Safari since there’s no way to spellcheck yourself when searching things. The predictive text suggestions do show up when swipe typing a word, so I included a screenshot of it for reference.

        Would this not add too much of UI on top of keyboard?

              IMO, no

              Waze has something similar, and I think it works just fine.

                  Is this also responsible for the apparent lack of auto-correct in Orion?

                  I have to admit - given the choice, I would choose predictive text & auto-correct over the existing top row without thinking twice. I used to think my typing was fine, but apps such as Orion & Firefox Focus which disable auto-correct have made me realise my typing is actually atrocious - at least on touchscreen devices.

                  The top row that’s there can be convenient from time-to-time. But either an additional row or else replacing it with a more traditional one would be more convenient, more often for me personally.

                    I can confirm that it is not.
                    I'm going to investigate

                      What platform is that screenshot from?

                      OP tagged the thread as ‘Mobile’ and talks about “small screens.”

                        sarno Haaaarg I keep making the same mistake.
                        On Orion Desktop, sorry guys 😅

                        I probably should try the dark mode.
