A frequent typing error is to swap to letters ( e.g. writing "brian" instead of "brain"). My very first text processor (a really long time ago on an Atari...) had a hotkey that swapped the letters back when the cursor is placed in between. I suppose, I'm not the only one who struggles with that typo. I suggest to add letter swapping with a configurable hotkey to Atlantis.
By the way: I tried to fix that by an Autohotkey-makro, that added a system wide hotkey (WIN-X) that swaps the letters back. That works in all editors and word processors on my systems. Unfortunately it doesn't work in Atlantis. The makro cuts the letters, swaps them and pastes them at cursor position. Atlantis adds spaces to the left and the right oft the pasted letters. Is there any setting that switches off that behaviour?

Swapping letters by hotkey
The "Smart Cut & Paste" feature of Atlantis might insert extra spaces when you paste. You can disable this feature by unchecking the corresponding box on the "Edit" tab of the "Tools | Options..." dialog of Atlantis.
But there is not much sense in using that macro in Atlantis. You can easily correct any misspelling in Atlantis (not only swapped letters) through the keyboard. Just place the caret anywhere within a misspelt word, or immediately before or after it, then press the Menu key. Atlantis would display a popup menu with spellcheck suggestions. The most probable suggestion would be automatically highlighted. You only need to press the Enter key to replace the current misspelt word with a highlighted suggestion.

Thanks a lot, my swap-makro works now, after switching off "Smart Cut & Paste"- so for me the problem is solved.
The auto-correct feature is nice, but not very useful to me- I'm writing texts containing sentences i several languages, with a lot of proprietary names or technical terms. Sometimes it feeled that every second word was underlined red- so i just disabled that feature.
