Overview

SteadyKey: Project Overview
Version: 1.0

Developer: James W. Schulze Jr. (Amish Jim)

Purpose: An accessibility utility designed to stabilize typing for users with motor-skill lag or post-concussion "double-capitalization" quirks.

1. Core Functions
Double-Cap Fix: Detects words starting with two uppercase letters (e.g., THis) and corrects the second letter to lowercase (This). It intelligently ignores acronyms like NFL or MLB.

Double-Space Fix: Detects accidental double-taps of the spacebar and reduces them to a single space.

Tone Protection: Unlike grammar checkers, this tool does not change vocabulary, dialect, or sentence structure. It only fixes physical typing errors.

2. How It Works (The Technical Flow)
The extension uses a Content Script (content.js) that injects itself into every webpage.

Event Listener: It waits for the user to press the Spacebar.

The Delay: It waits 10 milliseconds to allow the browser to render the character.

Regex Filtering: It uses Regular Expressions to scan the active text node.

DOM Injection: It replaces the text node with the fixed string while attempting to preserve the cursor position (Caret).

3. Current Compatibility
Facebook: Fully functional. Successfully bypasses Facebook's complex text editors.

General Web Forms: Functional on most standard input fields.

Google Search/Docs: Currently limited due to proprietary rendering engines. (Potential Phase 2 Goal).

4. Future Roadmap
Add a "Settings" popup to toggle features on/off.

Implement a "Transposed Letter" fix (e.g., teh -> the).

Research "Shadow DOM" penetration for better Google Search compatibility.
