Automatic period positioning Beantwortet
0 Stimmen 2 Kommentare

I'm an engineer so I am constantly texting decimal numbers. When trying to type something like "the tolerance for that part is. 100" the period automatically snaps to the "is" and not to ".100" even when intentionally adding a space. I then have to monkey around with spaces or put the number in parenthesis. It's really annoying when I have to do this multiple times in a sentence. Disabling autocorrect doesn't stop this behavior.

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!
remove spaces at end of paragraph Beantwortet

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.
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.

I am in the UK and when I am typing in a Web search my punctuation key defaults to: .com. If long pressed I can have org, TV or net. All I want is: .co.uk. Is this possible? It would be nice to be able to define what 8 want on that key.
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.

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 can I disable multilingual predictions? Beantwortet
24 Stimmen 53 Kommentare

How can I disable the multilingual prediction feature (bug).

It is unwanted, uncalled fore, unnecessary, useless, counterproductive, counter-intuitive, and annoying.

Otherwise your app is awesome, until the next update (which hopefully will get rid of this feature) I will be switching to another keyboard, which is a shame.
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.

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.
[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.
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!

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
Custom Keyboard Layout Beantwortet

I switched over to SwiftKey since I could see my text boxes but I'm not use to the current layout of the keyboard. I prefer to have my symbols on the left and my numbers visible without tapping on their own tab. And I like to have my emoji tab right next to my space bar on the left and not have to hold down on enter/send to get them. And way to change that sorta thing on here?

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?
Options missing Beantwortet
2 Stimmen 4 Kommentare

SwiftKey should give the option to disable two words on a single prediction box, as most of then don't make sense in my language (PTBR) and are very numerous and annoying to delete. The gesture/flow setting should have an option to disable both. There are some bugs in both normal and beta versions, like when I type "q" and for some unknown reason the prediction shows an "a" when it should show "que" (meaning "what" in my language). That problem stays even after I've deleted the prediction hundreds of times. It goes away for a time, but it comes back again. There should be a setting to save all my used words if I loose my account. From time to time the predictions show single consonants for no reason, like when I type "n" and it predicts and "n"... Which is useless for me because it's just a single letter. I delete these predictions, but they always come back sometime later.
