### Steps to reproduce
1. Open a document in Nextcloud.
2. Click the Edit pencil icon.
3. Begin typing using your soft keyboard (like GBoard or Samsung Keyboard)
### Expected behaviour
The document editor should accept autocorrect output from the soft keyboard while writing/editing.
### Actual behaviour
Your keyboard may show suggestions as you type, but they are not auto-inserted in the document while editing.
This makes natural writing in NC extremely difficult. I am currently using Gboard, but it seems to be present in Samsung Keyboard as well. Have tested on both Android 15 on the S23 Ultra, and Android 16 on the Fold7.
Some input fields in Android apps have the soft keyboard disable autocorrect. This is useful in fields like URL bars, where autocorrect would make typing specific terms difficult. This appears to be the case when editing a document through the Nextcloud Android App.
