Description

**Describe your question**
I'm posting this to find out if there is any news or info regarding problematic interactions between EasyMDE/CodeMirror and the iOS virtual keyboard.

If needed, I can provide specific code usage examples, but I'm not sure it adds anything to the conversation at this point.

Where things currently stand for me is: everything works fine on Android, but with iOS devices, only the first letter will be capitalized..., and things sorta go south from there. Backspace to begin again, and the new first letter will not autocap. Double space to end sentence, ditto the no-go. Etc.

Should I also follow up with the CodeMirror folks?

Anyways, just looking for hints for next steps. Thx!

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported autocapitalization, backspace, and double-space behavior with EasyMDE/CodeMirror on iOS, comparing it with Android. No source file or test is identified; done means determining whether the issue belongs in EasyMDE or CodeMirror and documenting a concrete next step, including whether to follow up with CodeMirror.
