Good day! Please make it possible for the user to select auto-stick "dash" "-" ... Or "dash" that does not stick to the letters to render for quick access ... Very inconvenient! Thank you for understanding!
Spazio automatico indesiderato Beantwortet
1 Stimme 7 Kommentare

Lo spazio automatico dopo la correzione e dopo la punteggiatura è utike e comodo.

Tuttavia, ogni volta che scrivo "tu?" mi si inserisce automaticamente uno spazio fra il "tu" e il punto interrogativo, senza alcuna ragione.

Tra l'altro, cancellando sia spazio che punto interrogativo, e provando a smettere il punto di domanda, lo spazio ricompare all'infinito.

L'unico modo per toglierlo è tornare indietro e cancellare solo lo spazio.

C'è un modo per evitare che ciò accada?

Customize URL suffix list Beantwortet

Is it possible to customise the list of suffixes on the .com button? I live in the UK and would like to have .co.uk as an option in the list, maybe even the primary one, although I'd live with .com as the primary. This must be the same for most countries. Can it be changed? Thanks.
Key pop ups Beantwortet

Need to have key pop up much bigger and also maybe in contrasting colors. My thumbs are fat and like to press the wrong keys. It would make it much easier to see what letter I have pressed. Right now I can't even see the letter that pops up.
remove spaces at end of paragraph Beantwortet
0 Stimmen 1 Kommentar

When I press next paragraph on Android it will automatically delete all the spaces and some apps (reddit) will not put a new paragraph if there is no space at the end of a sentence. I have to press space 5 times so it doesn't delete all the spaces at the end of a paragraph.
Microsoft SwiftKey keyboard tool bar Beantwortet
0 Stimmen 1 Kommentar

Nice keyboard, but the 'menu bar (tool bar)' on the keyboard is 'vertical pop-up' it take little more space on the display. My suggestion is pls... make this menu bar like 'horizontal pop-up' like 'Gbourd' it is compact to us and it looks quite good on the keyboard. Pls fix it, instead it has very nice features.

How do you disable russian-ukrainian transliteration? Beantwortet
0 Stimmen 1 Kommentar

I've looked at forums, support, feature requests but nothing works. I want to disable transliteration - predicting the act of vandalism against the language I am using, invented in Microsoft-owned (and ruined) SwiftKey. Problem: I type in Ukrainian "we", "ми". It immediately corrects Ukrainian word into Russian "мы" despite: A) letters being in absolutely different locations B) me typing in UKRAINIAN language, and not switching to Russian at any point C) me disabling this prediction many times already There are other similar predictions, but the case mentioned is the most frequent. What I want: an option not to predict words that have letters not found in the keyboard I'm using. To ONLY predict words from the SAME keyboard I am using. Hopefully, this is clear enough, as it wasn't clear for the last 3 years after the feature was requested. Maybe it was requested prior, but I found a long list of requests to disable this nonsense starting 3 years ago, which was "fixed" yet the option is missing for a lot of people, myself included.
Deleted words keep coming back Beantwortet
1 Stimme 3 Kommentare

When I do "remove prediction" on a word they SwiftKey has learned, I mean REALLY REALLY stop predicting that word. No matter how many times I type it like that, I always want SwiftKey to autocorrect it to the real word and never learn the wrong word again. (In fact, it would be great if SwiftKey could learn to predict phrases and NEVER learn mistyped words at all.) There isn't a setting for that that I'm missing, is there?
[Feature Request] Swipe from top row to type numbers Beantwortet
-1 Stimmen 1 Kommentar

It would be awesome if you could swipe up or down from the letters in the top row to type the numbers that we currently get from long-pressing those letters. I realize this might conflict with "swipe up to capitalize" or "swipe down to close keyboard", but perhaps the top row can be excluded from one of those gestures? Or a setting that allows the user to choose what swipe up/down does. The standard keyboard on iOS does these number gestures really well. On the iOS keyboard you swipe down from the top row letters go type the corresponding numbers.
Thumb keyboard on foldables Beantwortet
0 Stimmen 1 Kommentar

The thumb keyboard in swiftkey is a great feature, especially on foldables. I use it a lot but it needs the following improvements.

1. When switching between phone and tablet mode on a foldable, the keyboard does not change automatically between regular mode and thumb mode. This should happen automatically.

2. There should be an option to turn off the symbols and characters and only show the alphabets in the default theme.

Feature suggestions:

*Button to easily swap between keyboard languages for text correction(available on open oars app, check it out)

* Swiping left from delete button to delete specific part of a text. (also available on open board app)

*option to remove top bar, the bar above text correction words that includes clipboard, translation, gifs etc. should also be provided.

Make curly quotes default Beantwortet
0 Stimmen 1 Kommentar

Hi I just recently submitted a manuscript, and it turned out it had mix of curly and straight quotes. It seems even with a physical keyboard, if swiftkey was on, it would use straight quotes instead of curly ones. Can anyone let me know how to make them curly by default? I can't long press each time if I'm using a physical keyboard (or want to work fast!) Thank you all for your help!

How can I contact Swiftkey Keyboard Tech Support directly? Beantwortet
0 Stimmen 1 Kommentar

How can I contact Swiftkey Keyboard Tech Support directly? I have been asking for a button to force the Swiftkey Keyboard to display even when I'm using an external keyboard. My External Keyboard failed to work, and I basically had to wait forever for the Swiftkey Keyboard to display. A button in the Swiftkey Keyboard Toolbars that could have forced the virtual to open would have cut the wait to nearly nothing, and allowed me to continue my typing with no wait. Having this button in the toolbar would have allowed me to continue to type, or when the Virtual Keyboard fails to open on its own. Could be used to cause my device to display the Virtual Keyboard to display when an external Keyboard isn't working properly, or connected. Please place a floating Keyboard ICON on all screens,and in the Virtual Keyboards toolbar that often still displays even when the Virtual Keyboard doesn't for one, or more reasons!.!!!
Word Prediction Continues To Offer Certain Words After Removal Beantwortet
0 Stimmen 1 Kommentar

I use the acronym "ASAP" in many of my texts, along with "ASAYC" and "ASAIC." When typing (in lower case) any of those acronyms, "asap," is the only one that doesn't pop up in all caps within at least 3 keystrokes. Instead, it only shows "asap" in the middle box, after I've entered "p." I've manually entered "ASAP" several times, and selected it from the prediction bar, attempting to "teach" SwiftKey. I've tried removing "asap" from predictions many times, but when I long-press on the prediction and tap OK to remove the prediction, it will not remove it, and "asap" stays in the middle box. "ASAYC" and "ASAIC" do not have the same issue, and will be predicted in all caps when typing in lower caps. Are there alternate methods to remove predictions other than long-pressing the word in question?
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

Haptic Feedback issue on Samsung phones Beantwortet
1 Stimme 8 Kommentare

I just got my Samsung S21 Ultra and installed swift keyboard which is my all time favorite keyboard to use on both android and IOS , however I noticed an issue only related to Samsung phones which is the haptic feedback is not "Tight" as it should be , when I use Samsung keyboard it gives me a tighter haptic feedback which is fantastic and more precised , this issue has been there for years with Samsung phones and I really hate it ! it gives you an impression that the vibration motor is very cheap . before owning Samsung I had oneplus 8 pro and it was fantastic when you use the android default vibration with SwiftKey , on Samsung even I tried to reduce it to 5 ms but it didn't work as it should.

Appreciate if you can fix this issue

Why Is My Theme Changing By Itself Beantwortet

I'm using the latest stable version of the keyboard, I've noticed lately that my default theme is changing to a super dark one by itself. I currently have my default theme set to the 'Classic Light' one. I always thought that once a user set their preferred theme that it stayed that way until the user decided to change it to a different one
