I think the way to fix this is something like:
sentence_ending_punctuation = ['.', '!', '?', '…']
When someone types two spaces in a row {
if (auto punctuation is turned on) {
last_letter_position = the position of the last character in Unicode’s
“Letter” category
trailing_punctuation = the string between the last_letter_position and
the first space
if trailing_punctuation contains none of the characters from
sentence_ending_punctuation {
replace the last space with a period
}
}
}
