The Double-Space
You’ve already seen KB’s key feature on your iPhone and iPad: press the SPACE button twice to type DOT+SPACE after the last word you’ve entered. This little improvement helps to unify the experiences and switch from typing on iPhone or iPad to your Mac seamlessly. Auto-capitalization included.
Selected text
The CMD+CTRL+T makes you selected text beautiful.

Everywhere you need it
Keybroad works with every app we’ve tested, from TextEdit to Photoshop.
And nowhere if you don’t
If you want to prevent any autocorrections, you can turn Keybroad off for any specific app with two clicks or even shut it down completely by right-clicking the menubar icon.
To prevent autocorrection just once, press the right arrow button while typing combinations listed on the left.
Unbreakable spaces
Keybroad automatically adds unbreakable spaces before em dashes and after articles, conjunctions and prepositions, so they won’t be hanging on the end of the line.
CapsLock is useless, everybody knows it. But it’s also the only button with personal light indicator, which is helpful in case you need to display current status of something. Keyboard layout for instance. Easily set up layouts you wish to switch and get one-button hardware-indicated switcher.
*Option will be available for users with two or more input sources added in OS settings.
