Microsoft SwiftKey Android Support Forums

Yesterday I upgraded a Huawei P30 Lite to the latest version available: Android 10, EMUI 10.0.0.197

Now whenever an app is open and I click the Home button to go to home screen, the keyboard appears. Clicking the Home button a second time when I'm at home screen makes the keyboard disappear.

Is there any settings on Android or in SwiftKey that I can adjust to make this super annoying bug go away?

I would prefer not to uninstall SwiftKey.

Would love the option to include a delete key on top of the present backspace key. A lot of efficiency gains could be had by allowing me to delete rather than having to tap and move precisely in order to use the backspace key.

Tldr: have the keys that allow me to delete going right or left.

Isn't there any language in SwitKey so that we type in english but appears in Hindi/Marathi i.e Indian language?

Hi Community, hie Swiftkey, hi Microsoft,

please add more Layouts in SwiftKey, i would like to have the NEO Layout (https://neo-layout.org/)

Just as Workman is optimized for US and UK, so NEO is designed for the German speaking/typing space.

The NEO layout currently contains 6 levels, with which almost all characters from mathematics, programming..... can be typed.

Hi Swiftkey team. I really like your keyboard and it's prediction system, but unfortunately can not use it because it does not have the most widely used in Lithuanian layout in Lithuania. It is QWERTY keyboard with Lithuanian symbols hidden number buttons:

1-ą;2-č;3-ę;4-ė;5-į;6-š;7-ų;8-ū; (9;0;- skipped) =-ž;

Would it be possible to include this layout to your App. Because I really want to use it but it is really uncomfortable with other keyboard.

Dear Swiftkey / Microsoft,

great that you have started to support alternative keyboards, such as Colemak and Dvorak. This is a feature request for linking your Microsoft Swiftkey to MSKLC, Microsoft's Keyboard Layout Creator, to allow users to make and use their own keyboards for use in Swiftkey, as we do in Windows.

As long as I've had Swiftkey, if I swipe the word "I'm" and type another word after it, about 85% of the time it'll change to "I" even with autocorrect off. Saw a post from 2017 with a dev saying they'd look into it, but I still have this issue. Any progress on fixing it?

Stop automatically adding spaces after puncuation.

Turn this into a user feature to add or not add..

I want to type URLs, IP address, etc. without having to backspace. I want to add my own space (when it is needed and only when it is needed).

Many Users are not able to efficiently use SwiftKey as tap-to-type due to the errors that occur when spaces are inserted or deleted after certain characters.

SwiftKey AI will add spaces even when settings for all options are turned off.

Certain characters require double spaces to be spaced, and 'period' character will have spaces inserted directly after. The frequency of key press affects the displayed result - and it is different each time.

Data fields without the correct meta-tag will result in SwiftKey behaving differently - cut and paste - may or may not add spaces after. URL may or may not add spaces.

Pressing 'period' 20 times at a rate of 1 per second will yield a different result to a rate of 3 per second.

The behavior can be seen when typing an ellipses "..." or open and closed bracket "[ ] " or open and closed braces "{}"
Textbox tags on sites with it enabled in the textbox will mean that the "@" character will cancel unwanted behavior, and also "#" hash tags.

The replication of the issue is most apparent for continuous key-press of the period key - as stated above - and shows a lack of set behavior for AI, due to the inconsistencies. Time between key-press for a single character "period" should not yield different results.

Just create a toggle to disable insertion or deletion of spaces after characters or words.

This has been an issue for years now, and has constantly been ignored.
My forum post from yesterday has been ignored and deleted. I cannot find any reference to a post or support ticket posted yesterday.

I have Swiftkey version 7.6.6.11

I have Twitter version 8.67.0-release 00

I have a Samsung S20 Ultra 5G (UK version) with Android 10

For some months now I am unable to use the Swiftkey board with Twitter.

As soon as I go to type the keyboard vanishes and does not come back.

How do I fix this please?

Have an option to not remove preceding space when using Number Pad entry to put a period in.

This would be very useful for math and in some cases, IP address abbreviations ("The router is .1 and the DNS server is .2")

I love the behavior of the period key in the normal text entry, but the number pad could invite expectation of different behavior. To expand on this idea, maybe other "autocorrect" features might be disabled in the Number Pad mode.

Please change the font size back, it was appears to have been halved. I liked the massive text. I can't even read the characters anymore. I do not want to change the font size of my entire phone just for abnormally small SwiftKey. Please give us the option to change this. I'm a long LONG time user and unfortunately I had to update my review to a 2 star because this is just unusable. Galaxy S7 Edge.

Punjabi is the language of more than 130M people in the world, written in two scripts mainly.

Microsoft SwiftKeyboard also added both languages in the keyboard, which was a sense of relief for the people of both region and they got the app to communicate via texts. Since I am using the app, I figured that Punjabi, Pakistan (that is called Shahmukhi script) is just like the same as Urdu, Though both of the languages are not the same. there are missing letters in the Punjabi Keyboard in the SwiftKey Board. Please add those Punjabi Letters so that a Language can be used in the correct manner and communication can be made easier.

If you want me to send you those words, then I will be happy to do this work.

Hi - for reasons unknown to me - and in the past this was NOT the case (but it is now)  certain themes have fornts that are 'outline' (inside of font is blank) - which I find very annoying - example 'Pumpkin' I would like it to have a SOLID font - like most themes.

ALSO - most charachters in Pumpkin are not the 'amber' color indicated - but rather white - only Shift, backspace, emoji and search are the 'amber' color - this is not as much annoying as the 'outline' font issue - but it still does not fully represent the 'Pumpkin' theme as it used to.

Any solutions?  (am using Android 10 on a galaxy S20-FE)

Keyboard woks fine, but as other users, I can' termove a word form my dictionary.

Long press and remove does not work: the word is still there.

Is there some official page to report a bug or is microsoft too big to bother, as usual?

In a recent update you changed the thumb mode layout so it no longer has Y, H and B on both sides, and it's no longer symmetric which is much worse and makes typing difficult for me and many others using one of the nordic layouts.

Hallo,

ich nutze ein Huawei P30 lite (Modell MAR-LX1B, Build 10.0.0.290, Android 10, EMUI 10.0.0). Sehr oft erscheinen bei der Eingabe Buchstaben doppelt (z.B. Eingabbe), obwohl ich die Buchstaben auf der Swiftkeytastatur definitiv nur einmal eingegeben habe.

Hello!

SwiftKey is my keyboard of choice for my Samsung S20 phone. I recently started using Dex in parts of my day job, and as a programmer I use Vim and have my finger muscle memory quite settled for Norwegian Dvorak. Unfortunately I can only find English Dvorak available as a choice in SwiftKey, but on both OSX and Linux are Norwegian Dvorak available as default (and easy to install on Windows), would this be possible to add to SwiftKey as well? 

Not having my usual keyboard layout available in Dex makes it much harder to adopt it even more in my day job. My ultimate goal is to completely remove the need for a personal computer, and only use my phone for my programming job. To do this I need keyboard layout I know. 

I am willing to contribute quite a lot of effort to make this possible, if it is something I could add myself. There are many open source repositories with the layout already specified in Xml and other layout formats: https://www.google.com/search?q=Norwegian+dvorak+github

As a user, I would like to be able to use SwiftKey Keyboard to scan a barcode (QR-Code). By clicking a simple button that opens the camera and ready to scan a QR-code.
I think everyone wants to use this essential feature.
