I learn not to make _specific_ typographical errors, and the facility
that you request would only deal with sets of specific errors.
Yes, a set of specific words to be fixed by rearranging letters.
E.g. writing quickly it often happens to write 'informazioen' rather than
' informazione'.
Sometimes that word appears correctly on the screen, sometimes it is
distorted like that, as an anagram of the right word.
Is that mistake a matter of 'learning'? You mean that i should gain a
better motor control of my fingers' movements?
My guess is that my mind form the mispelled word, while quickly
writing, because 'informazioen' and ' informazione' are the same, in
my mind.
There would be much to say about the meaning of 'learning', but this is
not the right place to discuss about that. I do not know which aspects
of learning would be involved here, but i am puzzled about how to
improve my writing by learning.
Anyway, that kind of mispelling happens often. Should i spend years to
learn, hoping ti improve my typewriting ability?
Rather, it would be very convenient to see that kind of mistakes
instantly corrected. Don't you agree?

Is is not a matter of learning,
Of course it is.
it is our mind functioning that swaps letter
positions or doubles next letters while quickly writing text lines
Typing isn't an inborn skill; it is something that one learns.
Learning to type a word and learning not to mistype it are the same
thing.
Restoring the correct letters order for each word quickly would be a
great favour to a number of long paper writers.
In the case of a long paper, as opposed to a set of papers, the
facility that you request doesn't offer much that global
find-and-replace doesn't already do. In either case, you are talking
about working from an assembled list of corrections. (Recall that your
original request involved a list assembled by the user of corrections
to make.)
