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.

Emoji key disappearing Beantwortet

Hi all,For the last day or two the dedicated emoji button doesn't show on my keyboard, even though the option is turned on.The only thing I can think of that might be related is that I've subscribed to the beta version of the Google app.Keyboard theme is Carbon but switching doesn't seem to change anything.Restarting helped but after a while it's missing again.I'm using a Poco X3 Pro, running on MIUI 12.5.7.Would really love the help. -
SwiftKey too eager in splitting words in Dutch Beantwortet
1 Stimme
1 Kommentar
I'm on Android with SwiftKey 8.10.13.1 with Dutch and English enabled. In a recent update in the last couple of months, SwiftKey has become quite destructive in splitting words in the smallest possible sensible components instead of the largest ones. This is annoying, because Dutch is a compounding language. That means we glue compounds or derivatives together, much like German, so we can have words like slaapkamerwekkerradio. SwiftKey doesn't like this. It especially seems to have an issue with words that have a preposition as a prefix/suffix. For instance it autocorrects "inspanning" as "in spanning", "vooraan" as "voor aan", "uitgeven" as "uit geven", and so on. This is only recently happening (somewhere this year), but it is quite annoying. I wish this could be remedied because I find that I have to correct SwiftKey much too often these days.

In landscape mode SwiftKey overlays input dialogs with its own white input box
2 Stimmen
6 Kommentare
When in portrait mod , SwiftKey functions properly, but in landscape mode it overlays the input dialog with a blinding white input box that fills the entire top of the screen. It occurs with authentication dialogs, when entering an app review in Google Play store, etc. This is quite a shock to the eyes when working in dark mode.
The problem doesn't occur with Samsung keyboard.
Devices :
- Samsung Galaxy S8+, Android 8
- Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e, Android 9

Predictions should not move
0 Stimmen
1 Kommentar
Who else has that obnoxious problem where they type three letters and the prediction they want pops up, then they type another letter and that prediction randomly moves to another space, so when you muscle memory tap where it just was you get the wrong word? Like so many Microsoft applications there's always some irritating feature or gap in how it works that makes it frustrating to use for literally no reason-- this is a six second bug to fix and this is the eighth or ninth time I've reported it going back to when I first started using SwiftKey in 2013. Just. Fix. It. -
Is Urdu available separately from the English keyboard?
0 Stimmen
1 Kommentar
When SwiftKey first introduced Urdu as an input option, it was a standalone language with its own keyboard (albeit with the keys based on the same positions as QWERTY). In the years since, SwiftKey then combined it with the English keyboard. This is infuriating for me, as I generally don't interchange between both languages simultaneously. Is it possible to have Urdu separately from the English keyboard? Or is my only option to switch to another app? -

Punctuation keys next to Space
2 Stimmen
3 Kommentare
There is one thing missing from this keyboard to make it perfect, in my opinion. Something LG keyboard has and is very useful: the ability to change the most used punctuation key(s) near the space bar. Right not there is a "," and a ".", the latter having a drop-down menu. I would like to be able to change them to what i use most. In LG, this is possible and you are even able to move their location (left or right).
Would you consider implementing this in the future, please?

Ability to use censored gifs
6 Stimmen
3 Kommentare
I realize that you want to try to keep everyone happy, but we should be able to use adult orientated gifs. As an adult, I am fully capable of knowing when it's appropriate to use them and when it's not. A toggle that is turned off by default, but to allow us to turn them on would be great. Right now, I have to switch between keyboards to use them, which is obviously not the solution that I should have to use. Especially with such a great tool as this is :).

Smart punctuation Beta issue Beantwortet
0 Stimmen
1 Kommentar
I'm using the latest beta and I like the option to turn off Smart punctuation so is space is no longer added at the end after each punctuation. But this also removes the feature that deletes the space before the punctuation. Since autocorrect always adds a space after the word, it's annoying to have to delete that space every time I want to add punctuation. If this was by design, can the two items be separate options? -

Hi. I've installed both English and Norwegian languages. When I type the letter i gets changed into I. This is ok in English, but i is a very common word in Norwegian so I'd like to remove the entry i->I from the database and then remember to press shift+i when I type in English.
I've tried to longpress I and select remove entry, but it reappears every time. Any suggestion? -

Hi,
I've been trying to make my clipboard sync feature work for hours, but I'm not being able to do so.
I'm in a Samsung Galaxy M51 (Android with latest updates) and Windows 11 (latest updates too). I'm logged in the same Microsoft account (@outlook.com email) on both of them, but it simply doesn't work.
I've already enabled the clipboard history and sync in the Windows PC, and enabled all the selectors on the Swiftkey app under teh Clipboard settings
What should I do?

Cloud Clipboard not syncing between Windows 11 and SwiftKey on Android

I have been following the SwiftKey support steps here to enable cloud clipboard syncing between my Windows 11 laptop and Android phone (Samsung Galaxy Note 8).
I've ensured that the cloud clipboard and sync settings are enabled on both my phone and PC, but whenever I copy a URL on either device, it doesn't show up in the clipboard history on the other device.
Am I missing something or looking in the wrong place? Please let me know, any help is appreciated! Thank you for your time!

настроила синхронизацию между компьютером и андроид-клавиатурой, если я копирую текст на телефоне, я вижу его на пк, но наоборот не работает. пробовала и автоматическую синхронизацию, и ручную, но работает функция только в одну сторону. очень бы хотелось иметь возможность полной синхронизации, в чем может быть причина?

语音输入的一些问题和建议 Beantwortet
0 Stimmen
1 Kommentar
一、每次语音 录入 完成后, 都需要点击文本框, 才能输入文字, 这非常的麻烦。
建议每次语音录入 后, 直接在文本光标处输入文字, 而不应该再要更多的操作, 这还能减少一些 失误的操作( 字体过小的页面经常点错了位置, 使文章变得一团乱 )。
语音输入应该先定位后输入,而不应该先输入后定位。
二、 中文语音输入 的过程中, 两次输入中间插入了一个空格, 这是很不合理的。
中文和英文在这方面有很大的区别, 中文词语之间 基本不需要空格, 不像英文每个单词之间都要空格。(这帖子就是用 语音输入的, 这么多无意义 的空格 让文本变得非常奇怪。)
三、 语音输入某一小部分并不准确, 这需要一个快速更正的功能 提供 辅助。
四、 建议可以设置 单独的 语音输入 按键, 对于常用语音输入的用户来说, 长按","来调用语音输入并不方便。

How to delete SwiftKey data? Beantwortet

I would like to delete all my SwiftKey cloud data because I want to start from scratch. When I go to data.swiftkey.com and press on the big red button "delete backup", a small window with a turning circle appears, telling me "in progress", but it stays there forever, and when I go to the hamburger menu and open "view data", I can see that all my data is still there and absolutely nothing was deleted. Also, when I go to "Permanently delete my account" and delete my account, which is supposed to be permanent , I can just log back in at a later date and see that neither my account nor my data was deleted. -
