We recently brought Cursor Control to your Microsoft SwiftKey Keyboard for Android. This much-requested feature had previously only ever been available on iOS.
If you haven't tried it out you can do so by tapping & holding your spacebar to move the cursor.
If you use multiple languages, cursor control will need to be turned on first; this setting can be found in your ‘Typing’ menu.
Make yourself heard!
We'd love to know what you think. This is YOUR opportunity to help us shape the future of Cursor Control, e.g. is it useful? Does it work as you expect? Could it be improved? Do you love/hate it?
Whatever your opinion, we will take all feedback seriously.

Can't Make Keyboard as big as before`
0 أصوات
1 تعليق
I've been using Swiftkey since it was first introduced. I've loved the keyboard the entire time. However, recently, after accidentally having my phone wipe itself because I forgot my PIN. Yeah, I'm a dumb dumb. After reinstalling everything and going through and setting up Swiftkey again, I can no longer make the keyboard as big as it was before. The largest setting is now only about a third of the screen when just minutes before the largest size took up half my screen. The keys were nice and big and I loved it.
Is this something that was grandfathered in because I had such early versions of the app? Is there something I am missing? The largest size is quite terrible now.

Voice-to-Text poor functionality on Galaxy S20
0 أصوات
1 تعليق
Not sure if this is a SwiftKey problem or a Messages problem or a Google problem but here it goes.......
I just got this Galaxy S20. On my previous phone (Galaxy S9), when I hit the little "microphone" button on my SwiftKey keyboard to do voice to text when using the Messages App for texting, I would simply start talking and the words I was creating by voice would populate the text field in Messages. I could easily see the words as I spoke. After I was done taking, I'd just hit the send button and I was good to go.
With this S20, when I hit the little microphone button on SwiftKey, a window pops up. It is super annoying for a few reasons. One, that stupid grey box that says "Your audio Will be sent....." blocks the first several words that I am speaking, so I can't see that the text to words is translating correctly. Second, if I stop talking for around a second, the voice to text assumes I'm done speaking and closes, preventing me from adding more words if I hesitate to complete a thought. Third and worst of all, after I'm done talking the words I just spoke don't transfer to the text field in Messages. If I tap the empty text field in messages, SOMETIMES the words I just spoke suddenly appear in the text field- maybe 50% of the time. Supper annoying as half the time I have to repeat the whole voice-to-text process or revert to typing.
On my S9, when I hit the microphone button, I got a different pop-up that didn't block my words as they were spoken, and my words simply transferred directly to the text field in Messages, where I could clearly see them and simply hit "send" when done speaking.
When I use Facebook Messenger and do voice-to-text, I still get the pop up box with the annoying grey "Your audio will be sent......" blocking my words, but when I'm done speaking, at least my words transfer into the empty text box automatically and edit/send as required.Anyone else having this problem? I'd post the pictures of the pop up windows but I don't see a way to do that with this forum.
Thanks!

How to make number row match the rest of the keyboard?
0 أصوات
2 تعليقات
My phone theme has been black on black on black on black with a beautiful accent of color of more black since my very first smartphone. Why is there seemingly no control over the color of the number row on this otherwise amazing keyboard? I just upgraded my phone and am trying to go back to using SwiftKey after the last 18 months on my note 9 using gboard because their number row matches. SwiftKey is better there's no doubt about that but this dang gray bar in the middle of my screen makes it unbearable. So much customization except this one simple spot. -

Make possible manual additions to autocorrect

This is a feature request for making possible manual additions to the autocorrect. Regularly, words that i would like to be auto-corrected, are not. I cannot find a setting where i can add those words, together with the word to which i'd like the erroneous word to be autocorrected. This is a common function in desktop text applications.

Voice Typing

Back story. For many months I've been using 2 keyboards, gboard for voice typing and SwiftKey for regular typing. I decided to hit the microphone and try using SwiftKey voice to text and it was just like that of gboard! I was ecstatic and then today, all of a sudden it reverted back to the old voice typing with the white box.. Why!? I was so happy with the black box that would type as I was speaking making my life so much easier. I really don't wanna go back to using 2 keyboards, please bring back the voice to text that was just like gboard. It was like having the best of both worlds! SwiftKey blows gboard out of the water but when it comes to voice to text gboard is still better. At least let me have the option to choose which voice to text I wanna use. Please! Example, when I'm in my car I could unlock my phone to my messenger and the voice dictation would automatically start, amazing! I need this back. It was truly amazing but too short lived. -

when you use voice to text button now on swiftkey it brings up voice inout , close out messages and go back in and there is no keyboard it defaults back to voice inout automatically.
then you have to hit the keyboard button at the bottom and change back to swiftkey keybord
it used to be you press the button say your message and send it , then next time your in a message it would default back to swiftkey. keyboard to type.
but now when you hit the microphone icon it stays on all the time for all messages.

[Feedback] New thumb mode layout is worse

In a recent update you changed the thumb mode layout so it no longer has Y, H and B on both sides, and it's no longer symmetric which is much worse and makes typing difficult for me and many others using one of the nordic layouts.

Dear Swiftkey / Microsoft,
great that you have started to support alternative keyboards, such as Colemak and Dvorak. This is a feature request for linking your Microsoft Swiftkey to MSKLC, Microsoft's Keyboard Layout Creator, to allow users to make and use their own keyboards for use in Swiftkey, as we do in Windows.

How do I stop the space after hyphen?

I've started working on documents with a lot of numbers, which often use negative numbers. How do I stop the automatic space between hyphen (-) and the number from happening? I tried searching in the settings and there doesn't seem to be a way to turn it off. It's annoying to have to back space every time. -
Android: SwiftKey typing, no output
1 صوت

I am getting frequent (multiple times per day) where I am typing on swiftkey and I see the prediction forming, but no output in the actual text field I was typing in. Switching to any other keyboard and changing back (without typing anything in the other keyboard) restores functionality, but it's pretty annoying and it's getting more frequent.

Keyboard font size
0 أصوات
1 تعليق
I have a compact phone. Will swiftkey introduce an "increase keyboard font size" function, without increasing the keyboard buttons? Swiftkey (and other apps I've looked) at all simply increase overall keyboard & button size but in my phone it takes up too much screen space, restricting functionality - too little typed text is visible etc. There is plenty of room on the standard keys / buttons for a larger font. I don't care if it makes the appearance "ugly" I just need functionality. Its a bit like a car designer fitting a tiny steering wheel because it "looks nice". It may do but it's hard to steer! Thanx -

font is "outline" (ex: Pumpkin)
0 أصوات
1 تعليق
Hi - for reasons unknown to me - and in the past this was NOT the case (but it is now) certain themes have fornts that are 'outline' (inside of font is blank) - which I find very annoying - example 'Pumpkin' I would like it to have a SOLID font - like most themes.
ALSO - most charachters in Pumpkin are not the 'amber' color indicated - but rather white - only Shift, backspace, emoji and search are the 'amber' color - this is not as much annoying as the 'outline' font issue - but it still does not fully represent the 'Pumpkin' theme as it used to.
Any solutions? (am using Android 10 on a galaxy S20-FE)

Feature request: Don't remove space in number pad
0 أصوات
0 تعليقات
Have an option to not remove preceding space when using Number Pad entry to put a period in.
This would be very useful for math and in some cases, IP address abbreviations ("The router is .1 and the DNS server is .2")
I love the behavior of the period key in the normal text entry, but the number pad could invite expectation of different behavior. To expand on this idea, maybe other "autocorrect" features might be disabled in the Number Pad mode.

Hallo,
ich nutze ein Huawei P30 lite (Modell MAR-LX1B, Build 10.0.0.290, Android 10, EMUI 10.0.0). Sehr oft erscheinen bei der Eingabe Buchstaben doppelt (z.B. Eingabbe), obwohl ich die Buchstaben auf der Swiftkeytastatur definitiv nur einmal eingegeben habe.
