How to remove "hide keyboard" arrow down button? Beantwortet
0 Stimmen 3 Kommentare

Hello. I'm using Oneplus 6 phone and a few days ago there was an update from Android 10 to Android 11 and now there is this "hide keyboard" down arrow underneath the keyboard that shifts everything up and is just unnecessary, at least give us an option to remove or hide it. Why have an extra button and sacrifice screen real estate, when you can just use a gesture "back" to hide the keyboard? Also typing muscle memory is ruined now, since the keyboard shifted upwards. SwiftKey app version is 7.8.9.4 Screenshot is attached.
SwiftKey does not respect autocapitalize attribute in HTML input tag Beantwortet
5 Stimmen 6 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.
Autocorrect corrects numbers Beantwortet
3 Stimmen 8 Kommentare

Hello. My name is Tim.

There was a problem while using the swiftkey keyboard app. In the moments when I use continuous printing, when I move my finger across the screen from letter to letter, if there are some numbers and do not indent from them, the keyboard considers it necessary to correct the numbers.

Why does the keyboard do this?

This needs to be corrected, since it is unacceptable for the application to understand something in ttsiyars, it cannot be assumed that there is a number 1, then it can be corrected by 2, because it will be better in the opinion of the application. Also, it is unacceptable for the application to memorize a number in addition to new words, and does not offer digital options.

Attaching a video confirmation.

Samsung fold 3 layouts not individual for inside and outer screen Beantwortet
7 Stimmen 5 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?

When watching a YouTube livestream, when you tap to type something into the live chat, the keyboard appears for a split second before collapsing. Only happens in YouTube. Switching to the normal phones keyboard works.

Random letter deletion when fast typing. Beantwortet
0 Stimmen 5 Kommentare

Basically it is what it is in the title when I type fast which is usually the case it randomly deletes some letters usually the first letters of a word and then it changes everything as it using a whole different standpoint to match a predicted or spell corrected word. For example I start typing memories and after "e" letter when I touch "m" key again it deletes the first "em" part and just type mories and it spell correct to Morris. Super weird. It is on a galaxy s21 ultra 512 exynos btw. I just reset the phone for a lot other issues as well hoping it will fix this one as well but no. Came back.

Any idea?

Thanks

Cannot backup/migrate clipboard? Beantwortet
3 Stimmen 5 Kommentare

I've got a new phone and used the cloud backup feature to migrate Swiftkey to the new phone.

My stats have been copied over, but not my preferences, including the clipboard shortcuts.

Is there any way to fix this?

I'm moving from Android 7 to 8, using Google for the backup storage.

Thanks.
Backspace doesn't work in GitHub Codespaces, GBoard works better Beantwortet
1 Stimme 5 Kommentare

GitHub Codespaces uses the Monaco Editor so anything that uses that is affected by this: Azure DevOps, Azure App Service Editor, and many many more sites. Easy repro steps: 1. Go here: https://microsoft.github.io/monaco-editor 2. Type something in one of the examples and then hit backspace a few times You expect backspace to remove the characters but instead it does nothing. I hope this can be fixed so I can use GitHub Codespaces on my phone!

Swiftkey Hungarian spell correction is useless. Beantwortet
0 Stimmen 1 Kommentar

So I am obviously from Hungary and try to use Hungarian spell correction and it is ok for 5 to 10 percent of the time. Mostly it corrects the word to a less likely useful or used word. It makes me confusing because MS Office Word has a fantastic Hungarian spell correction database which is also Microsoft so why they don't apply it or use it for this?

Thanks!

Thousands of Filipino SwiftKey users need Baybayin Filipino layout Beantwortet
2 Stimmen 1 Kommentar

Google's Gboard made the first move to making some writing systems available for communication on the internet, which includes Baybayin(a Filipino writing system on it's way to revive and be used again). Why hasn't others doing the same? Baybayin is increasing in popularity, thousands of people are only downloading Gboard because of it. I suggest it's SwiftKey's turn to help reviving the writing system for millions of Filipinos. To be honest, I just like SwiftKey more than Gboard. I really wish you would implement it and alot of us waiting would appreciate it very much.

I have a personal MS account with live.com as the domain, and I can sign into SwiftKey with it. However lately I want to utilize the add task function straight from the keyboard options, and I want to add it to my work (corporate account) account. So I logout of my personal account on SwiftKey and tried to login using my company MS account, but I was presented with the following error "That Microsoft account doesn't exist. Enter a different account or get a new one." Anyone know what's the matter?

GIFS search, used to be small Beantwortet
0 Stimmen 1 Kommentar

Searching gifs used to give small squares so you could see all the gif. Now in both beta and classic the gifs are taking up the whole horizontal of the search and the height is so small I can't see the words on the gif. I've reinstall 3 x and even got the beta.. Still the same. I want the small square boxes back so I can see the words before I send the gif
Toolbar not showing Beantwortet
-1 Stimmen 3 Kommentare

Hello, I have the problem in google sheets for example that the toolbar isn't showing and icon to open it also is missing, so that I can't use the clipboard. I need to type anything, then exit the cell and go back to it to get it shown. On some forms, often passwords, it's impossible to get it shown on any way. Is there a fix for that? Or can you add a shortcut on the keyboard to open the taskbar? Thank you Device make and model: Xiaomi Mi 9 Device Android version: 11 Current SwiftKey version: 7.8.7.8 Steps to reproduce: Open Google Sheets and open any cell - keyboard opens but toolbar is missing when it's empty. Or Xing login password field.

Some keys barely visible in SwiftKey beta in Dark Mode Beantwortet
0 Stimmen 1 Kommentar

I am using SwiftKey beta 7.8.8.6 on a Xiaomi Mi 9T MIUI Global 12.05.(Android 10, 1 Mar 21 security level) in Android Dark Mode and many keys (Enter, Backspace, Shift and others) are almost invisible on the SwiftKey keyboard. The keys are present and functional but their labels are very hard to read. I have tried many SwiftKey themes and all have the same issue. The problem is not present in Light Mode for the 2 themes I have tried (Adaptive and High Contrast). Regular SwiftKey works fine in Dark and Light modes. Happy to post a screenshot showing the missing keys if someone would tell me how to add an attachment.

Using Google speech to text Beantwortet
1 Stimme 2 Kommentare

I can't use it. If I stop for a second it will stop recording and I get this pop up which won't go away off my screen whilst blocking the keyboard, for an unacceptable duration....further to that, sometimes the keyboard won't go away and I have to restart my phone so I can't even continue with typing... This is the popup: "Your audio will be sent to Google to provide speech recognition service. A transcript will be shared with this app"... Can you please inform Google of the situation because I don't know who to ask or where to send anything and this is their problem as we know... there was no issue in the fairly recent past. I really enjoy using SwiftKey and have for a long time I don't want to go away from it. But I will have no choice if this issue is not addressed by Google.. Thanks kindly note that I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling SwiftKey I have the latest version it doesn't change anything
