Quotation mark glitch
I've had a glitch with swiftkey where often I'll type a word, hit space, type a first quotation mark to begin to type a quote, and it will add the quotation mark to the end of my last typed word instead of after the space I just typed, and then insert a space after the quotation mark. Basically acting as if Im finishing a quoted word/phrase and typing the second quotation mark when I'm actually beginning a quoted word/phrase and typing the first quotation mark. No matter how many times I try again it won't work correctly
So say I'm trying to type out:
I went to the store and was like "can I get a coffee"
One of these two things happen:
1. Type out I went to the coffee shop and was like+space+" > autocorrects to like+"+space > delete the space and quotation mark > try typing like+space+" again > autocorrects again > just deal with it and type out like" can I get a coffee > go back and delete the space before can > insert a space before like
Or, 2. Type out I went to the coffee shop and was like+space+" > autocorrects to like+"+space > delete the space and quotation mark > try typing like+space+" again > autocorrects to like+space+"+space > have to type out like " can I get a coffee > go back and delete the space before can
It doesn't happen every time, but I'd say 1 in 10 times, which is pretty annoying. Has been happening the whole time I've had swiftkey on ios (since Sept 2019), and happened before then when I had swiftkey for Android. I submitted a bug report months ago but nothing has been fixed :/
Not sure what to do here as I'd prefer to not take any troubleshooting steps that would result in swiftkey forgetting my hundreds of saved words
Any update on this?
Hi Ephraim Colores can you clarify the issue you are experiencing? Also, please confirm your OS and Microsoft SwiftKey keyboard version when experiencing the issue so that we can investigate further.
Whenever I type a quotation mark ' for contractions it automatically puts the quotation mark on the last word and add a space after the quotation mark. For example, if I try to type this:
'Tis the season to be jolly. 'Tis the season to be merry.
It will be typed like this...
'Tis the season to be jolly.' Tis the season to be merry.
Hi Ephraim Colores in your example, since there is a quotation mark at the beginning, the second one will be the closing one.
I wonder, if you type "season" + add space + and then add " ' " - how does this work for you?
