until we find the way to switch it on/off you can do the following:
under /System/Library/Textinput/ delete specific bundle for the keyboard that you are using
example:
if you want to disable Autocorection on an English keyboard US or GB delete(or backup on your hard drive) file "TextInput_en.bundle"
Hope it helps
renamed TextInput_en.bundle to TextInput_en.bundle.backup
it works, thank you!
Moved all bundles in a bak directory, that's even simpler (mv * .. in the bak dir to reenable them). Needs a reboot to work, though.
just simle delited it :) works like a charm :)
thanks Amet
Biiiiiig THX for this great solution. :D:D:D
Perhaps nice to know: Sometimes are more than keyboard-language selected. In my case it was english and german. I've renamed the german one so I had to deselect the english... After a reboot, it works like a charm :)
After disabling the auto-correction, can you still double tap the space bar to insert a period and a space?? I ask because there used to be an app called "kb" in Installer for disabling the auto-correction on 1.1.1/2, but as a side effect it'd also disable the double-tap shortcut...
I have the same questionQuote:

With this setup, there was no autocorrection and no double-tap shortcut. When the file TextInput_hr is put back in the TextInput_hr.bundle/ folder, both functions become active.
So it's none or both until someone patches one of these TextInput files. For me this is good enough for when I want to write a really strange word without being bothered.
