Chinese Pinyin Input cannot type space [duplicate]

Hm. Hadn't noticed that (then again, I'm not a native Chinese speaker, and only occasionaly types in Chinese), but ...

Why do you need a space-character, when typing in Chinese (there are no spaces in the language, as far as I know)?

(Also: If you switch to numbers (still using Chinese/pīnyīn as input method), the space-key creates space character/-s.)

edit: When I press the "space key", it gives me the next predicted word, not a comma character.

@phle, the space key SHOULD work as a space key rather than a comma key (we already have that) or 'word-prediction-key'.

@gexc (It's never exclusively a comma for me, but rather "enter the word predicted" (which in some cases ends up as a comma), which in my opinion seems to be the simplest way of choosing the predicted word - and in line with how it works on computers.
I guess someone having Chinese as their native language should have precedence over my opinion here, though.)

... but I agree, it seems to be a duplicate question. I'll close this one.

@phle, you are correct about the behavior of the space key. I have edited my previous question.

@gexc Yes that's the same question, feel sad that Jolla still haven't noticed or didn't fix that. Guess they will finally realise when selling device in China. @phle: Thanks for the tip for typing space in numbers, but the space should behave as space, it does exist (a lot) in Chinese.
