Add symbol-properties for automatic spaces to improve gesture typing
See original GitHub issueProblem: When typing .
and then swiping a word, a space should appear between them. After typing (
no space should appear.
I can’t think of a smart solution to the problem though, except for saving the proper behavior for every symbol.

I think the way gboard does it is have it by default not enter a space, and then they made exceptions for things like
.?!:"';)
etc. It has issues obviously, but I think that’s probably the easiest solution. The URL thing should be easy to solve, since the keyboard knows if it’s entering into an address bar. Obviously other contextual behaviours aren’t really possible but I think that covers most cases.After some reconsideration I removed the URL exclusion again, as most URL bars have a dual purpose of acting like a search bar nowadays, and it just makes more sense to have proper auto-spacing here too. Everything else of my above comment is unchanged and still valid.
