What are the odds someone in a coffee shop is able to read dotsies as well?
The way dotsies stack remind me a little bit of Cistercian Numerals (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cistercian_numerals)
I am thinking about adding a little semi-hidden "Toy box" option with little experiments, incl. generative art/playthings like drawing vines during typing or a spacial writing system.
(I'm very hesitant to do that since I want to keep Ensō as distraction free as possible)

Is the idea here with Coffeeshop mode that typos can be dealt with later?

(although, IIRC, you can override that)
Another reason: autocorrect/autocomplete can trigger visible previews/highlights on the screen.
(thinking about this out loud here: what about IME/pinyin? That works well in both modes, it's necessary)

Looking at the feedback from people, I see two camps: those who rely on autocomplete and those who abhor it.
I normally use it in two ways:
- quickly turn it on/off when someone is passing by, so I can carry on writing undistracted
- keep it on for several minutes at a time, esp. when writing in a busy public place
