Also, without any shortcuts to go forward a space between words, I had to hit the field, hit the space and then hit yet another box (checkmark) in order to merely put a space between words...tedious and uncalled for!

 

Are you talking about a space? I have a space button right between the Z and the shift button. It doesn't sound like you are even trying.
