It’s really annoying to accidentally hit a key, then feel like I have to send a full message. Why is this the ‘standard’ among chat programs now, without even the option to turn it off?

Who is fighting for stuff like this?

    I accidentally hit characters and assume they all see me ‘typing’ for the next 12 hours until I notice.

      I think the “typing” status is debounced to a few seconds only. You won’t appear to be typing if you stop actually typing. At least that’s how most messengers work that I use.
