SwiftKey Q&A: Week 1 - Cursor Control Angeheftet Angesagt
0 Stimmen 14 Kommentare

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.

Slow perf leading to unintended long-presses Beantwortet
0 Stimmen 1 Kommentar

Sometimes Swiftkey has pretty serious performance issues where the keyboard really slows down or even freezes for a second. This then spirals into it incorrectly interpreting a normal press as a long-press. Ironically, this is the worst when using Outlook & Teams, which I assume is because they are somewhat intensive or inefficient apps.

Suggestions for toggle options
0 Stimmen 1 Kommentar

I have skme gripes that my only option to produce these results is to switch to a different keyboard. Here are some options that should be added: When you select a period "." to enter in a decimal number it wont auto snap to the previous word. Example: I made. 54% progress instead of. 9% Another suggestion is to remove certain saved words. I don't need the app auto correcting my correct words to a spelling error I made way too many time. Example, 8n instead of in. Another suggestion, remove the deleting of spaces at the end of the sentence after pressing the return key. In certain apps like reddit if you press the return key to go to a new line it will delete an extra space at the end of the previous line. This causes issues when an app determines a new line based on whether or not there is a space at the end of the last word. Because all are removed, it will be seen as not putting a space or an end line and it will just concat the first word of the next paragraph to the previous word. This may be app specific since it only applies when new line using the return key is not seen as a character. But removing a ton of spaces requires me to mash the space bar 3 or 4 times to make sure there are spaces at the end.
Fyom? Really? Beantwortet
0 Stimmen 1 Kommentar

I've been taking screenshots of examples where SwiftKey autocorrects a word that is spelled correctly by me into gibberish. I saw myself type (using keys not swipe) "fro" and as soon as I added the "m" to write the word "from" it autocorrected it to "fyom." The word "from" became an option in the bar on the left, but why would it not leave a perfectly good word alone? I have many other screenshots just like this. I'm using a Pixel 4a 5g on Android 11 Please figure out how to get back to the amazing SwiftKey of old... -Chris

There used to be a search icon on the top of the keyboard that'd take you to Google. Was that removed in the recent update? Or did I accidentally toggle it off? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

parola con apostrofo o troncamento
2 Stimmen 12 Kommentare

Salve,
vorrei capire come memorizzare termini. In pratica la tastiera swiftkey non memorizza il termine <po'>, che in italiano è il troncamento di poco ed è un termine molto utilizzato. Nella lingua italiana <po> non esiste. Esiste <Po> maiscolo, cioè il fiume Po.
E' un problema che posso risolvere in autonomia?
Grazie

Samsung fold 3 layouts not individual for inside and outer screen Beantwortet
2 Stimmen 3 Kommentare

Just bought a fold 3,the phone has settings for the inside screen keyboard layout which I use as thumb layout and a setting for the outside screen which is obviously narrower so I use the normal keyboard however I find that if I set the layout to thumb whilst using inside it always changes the outside screen to thumb also which is kind of annoying. Is there a way for this to be rectified?
SwiftKey does not respect autocapitalize attribute in HTML input tag Beantwortet
5 Stimmen 5 Kommentare

SwiftKey does not automatically turn off the capitalization on HTML input tags which feature autocapitalize=off. That is very annoying, many web apps use this to prevent unwanted automatic capitalization on certain inputs. SwiftKey ignores this.

See https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2015/04/autocapitalize for details.

Chinese input module BUG and optimization recommendations＆中文输入模块BUG及优化建议
0 Stimmen 3 Kommentare

Swiftkey 中文输入模块BUG如下 1️⃣字，排序有问题，发生频率（小部分）：例如（“谏”字输入多次后排序不会向上移动）这样查找文字很麻烦。 2️⃣输入词语问题，发生频率（小部分）：例如（劝谏，劝jian拼写过程中，“jian”的汉字里没有“谏”） 3️⃣记忆功能异常，发生频率（小部分）：多次输入中文成语未完成记忆，例如（其中包含“之”字大部分词语不会记忆，“藏之名山”、“不次之位”、“计无复之”等等；其它不含“之”的词汇，极少部分频率出现无法记忆现象 4️⃣要搜索完成才会记忆，搜索三遍甚至四、五遍才记忆成功，少数无法记忆 5️⃣预选栏中学习的错误中文词语，无法长按取消记忆 6️⃣基础词库中的词语太少，很多常用的词语都不具备，例如（扬声器、预选）两个常用词汇未出现在词库中。建议：1. 十分希望能把安卓版中文必应输入法中，包含的基础字库、词库和一部分优秀的输入逻辑整合到SwiftKey 中文模块中去。 2. 实现电脑与手机共享账号内学习的词库。
Writing a message with Swiftkey impossible, deleting the whole message while writing. Beantwortet
0 Stimmen 1 Kommentar

I've had this problem for quite long now in Android Swiftkey. When I try to write a message, at some point the keyboard deletes it completely. Not just last word, but everything, whole message. And obviously there is no undo or anything to have it back, so it's completely lost and very annoying bug.

I've not been able to recognize what the trigger for this is. It might be "space", or ".", but "backspace" has done it also. It happens typically in mobile Firefox browser in a forum, but I've seen it happening also for example in reddit app, so I think it's not app related. Instead Swiftkey is having some bug.
