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.

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? -

特别喜欢使用微软这款输入法,但是本人目前在用的是unihertz titan pocket这款小众机型,发现这款输入法对实体全键盘的支持较弱,希望增强适配.主要从几个功能提出诉求: 1.目前不能空格选词上屏 2.希望增加alt+数字键选词上屏功能 3.希望增加自定义短语功能,意思就是让用户自行设置按两下单个按键输入固定标点或短语,比如连续按两下k,输入可以的这个常用词汇 -
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 :).

Cloud Clipboard not syncing between Windows 11 and SwiftKey on Android
3 Stimmen
6 Kommentare
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?

Please add this to Malayalam language
0 Stimmen
1 Kommentar
Hi, Just wanted to say that it is next to impossible to type the word "trip" in Malayalam. It always add the word "drip" which is correctly translated as "ട്രിപ്പ്". The t sound is "റ്റ". The d sound is "ട". Similarly for the word "tree" it wrongly translates to "ട്രീ", which sounds like "dree". So for "trip", just replace "ട" to "റ്റ" and it will be perfect. -

Period Key
10 Stimmen
10 Kommentare
Probably 85% of the mistakes I have to correct are the result of hitting the period key instead of the space bar. Can we have an option to move it, or make it a hard-press or long-press, or.....something. It's my only significant problem with an otherwise outstanding keyboard. Thanks much.

Bullet, checkmark characters?
1 Stimme
3 Kommentare
Won't you please include the bullet ( • ) and checkmark ( ✓ ) characters, so useful for lists of items and tasks? You could easily add them as alternate long-press symbols. It's the only thing preventing me from switching from GBoard to SwiftKey. I've asked for this for a couple of years now on Play Store, but maybe you don't read those comments…? Thanks!

SwiftKey acts as dumb keyboard in some cases.
0 Stimmen
1 Kommentar
Been using SwiftKey for a decade or so, but only recently, on my galaxy s20 fe, it sometimes won't show corrections, or provide any advanced functions at all. Which means I can't use macros, and spend more time correcting mistakes than typing effectively. So is there a way to force proper functionality on the fly? I'm using version 8.10.11.3 -

constantly hitting the send key, before im ready to send or enter the text
0 Stimmen
1 Kommentar
i can't begin to estimate how many times I've accidentally hit the enter key and ended up sending incomplete sentences, because the enter key is right below the delete key, so every time i have to backspace there's a risk of accidently sending the text. you guys have to fix it, please give us more theme options, that has all other keys in the default layout but puts the enter key somewhere else, or even just add a option to require a prompt before entering the text, that way if i accidently hit the enter key, a prompt will come up, tap outside the box to cancel it out. I've already been looking for a alternative keyboard. because i can't take much more of this awful placement of the enter key -

Incognito mode
0 Stimmen
1 Kommentar
I have just had to do a reset on my phone and after reinstalling Swiftkey it now changes to Incognto mode whenever I am in the app drawer. I can't read the incognito theme at all (whoever thought dark grey on a black background was a great idea should be shot), and as a result the keyboard becomes useless when trying to do an app search. How do I stop it from changing modes in the app drawer? It's not like I have to hide what's on there, it's not typing into a sensitive app, it's just the app listing for heaven's sake.

Chinese Keyboard

I switched from Gboard for two reasons:
1. I'm a Microsoft person.
2. Gboard's lag was killing me.
However, you guy seriously need to improve your Chinese keyboard. Mainly because it's hard to type actual names since I don't remember every single character.
