Haha, I have absolutely no idea, sorry.

However, what I do know is that this type of autocorrect works in apps like TextEdit very well. Actually, it works with any normal text input views. In any case, Sublime Text doesn’t have a normal text input view (if that’s what you even call it).

If you want to see some more technical discussion of it, it was also requested for Atom on GitHub:

That’s probably more understandable than what I said.

so you actually want ST to use MacOS’ native spellchecker, as opposed to something “autocorrect” related?

I think that any plugin trying to add this functionality would suffer performance problems - see https://github.com/SublimeTextIssues/Core/issues/1299#issuecomment-247150105 for how ST’s spell checker currently works.
