Summary
Mobile keyboard text-assistance features tied to predictive text and autocorrect can interfere with terminal input, especially around punctuation, sometimes replaying or duplicating already typed text into PowerShell or other CLI prompts.
First seen
2026-04-08
Current impact
- Typed punctuation can trigger duplicated or replayed text.
- Terminal prompts can receive text the user did not intend to resend.
- The problem feels unpredictable and browser/keyboard driven, which makes it hard to trust terminal entry on mobile.
Likely direction
Investigate every browser hint available for disabling mobile text assistance in terminal entry instead of treating this as autocorrect alone.
