We recently brought Cursor Control to your Microsoft SwiftKey Keyboard for Android. This much-requested feature had previously only ever been available on iOS.
If you haven't tried it out you can do so by tapping & holding your spacebar to move the cursor.
If you use multiple languages, cursor control will need to be turned on first; this setting can be found in your ‘Typing’ menu.
Make yourself heard!
We'd love to know what you think. This is YOUR opportunity to help us shape the future of Cursor Control, e.g. is it useful? Does it work as you expect? Could it be improved? Do you love/hate it?
Whatever your opinion, we will take all feedback seriously.
Click here to record and submit your video response (60 seconds max).
Your responses will only be viewed by Microsoft. For details about how Flipgrid treats your data please refer to Flipgrid - Terms of Use.

Autocomplete Suggesting No Space Between Period and Next Word Answered
0

comments
I have been having the most bizarre issue as of lately. For some reason,when I type a period or other punctuation marks (with automatic spacing on) and the first word of the next sentence, it likes to autocorrect it to the period and the first word combined (without a space).And just as example,the period and the And without a space in the beginning of this sentence was caused by Swiftkey autocompleting that for me.It is super annoying as you can see.Any misstyping that is causing spaces to disappear are complete not intentional. Can anyone help?

Please add more features to improve the Chinese (Pinyin) keyboard. For example, add the function that can independently choose each Pinyin. Please take reference of other Chinese keyboard like Sougou, Baidu Keyboard. They are doing well in this area.

Hallo zusammen
wie kann ich zwischen den Tastaturen switchen? Wenn ich bauf Gboard bin kann ich ohne probleme auf Swiftkey wechseln, aber von der Swiftkey Tastatur kann ich auf keine andere Tastatur direkt wechseln. HIer muss ich immer über die Handy Einstellungen gehen. Das ist sehr mühsam.
Hello everybody
how can I switch between the keyboards? When I'm on Gboard I can switch to Swiftkey without any problems, but I cannot switch directly to any other keyboard from the Swiftkey keyboard. Here I always have to go through the cell phone settings. It is very troublesome.

Changing languages while using a physical Bluetooth keyboard Answered

I'm using a physical Bluetooth keyboard with my Galaxy Tab S7, and when I try to switch from English to Hebrew, it doesn't do anything, whether I press the globe icon or use the hot key. The on-screen keyboard will change, but the input from the physical keyboard will not. While using the native Samsung Keyboard, I don't have this problem. Any suggestions?

Numbers and symbols above letters Answered

I opened my S10 this morning and noticed the keyboard no longer had the theme I chose. So I tried to download several and none of them were available. I uninstalled the app the reinstalled. Even though signed in the app did not remember my settings. I was able to download the themes and started to set up a new keyboard. Weirdly I can't find a setting for letters alone on the keyboard. Now there are symbols and numbers above the letters. This is driving me crazy, literally. I have severe ADHD and this is a nightmare for me.

Samsung S21 Ultra: frequent pop ups asking me to confirm keyboard or similar... Answered
0
votes
1
comment
i've been using Swiftkey Keyboard for a long time and now.
on any of my previous phones, including the S20 Ultra which i used from its introduction around Feb/March 2020 till just a week ago, everything was fine as usual.
with this new Samsung S21 Ultra, however, i get very frequent (rmultiple times each day, very annoying!) pop ups requesting something. i can't even tell what it's requesting, but it seems like it's asking me to confirm my keyboard choice or possibly Samsung Keyboard asking me if i want to use the Samsung Keyboard? i can't tell, as it doesn't have an explicit question asking me anything. when the pop up shows up, the bullet point for selecting which keyboard i want to use has ALREADY selected/highlighted the Microsoft Swiftkey keyboard. i have no idea why either the S21 Ultra or Samsung Keyboard or something else keeps wanting me to confirm this multiple times each and every day!
may i please kindly ask if someone could please try to help me resolve this please?
thank you in advance. -
Add ability to pin frequently used emojis Answered

I have an emoji I use to indicate amazement "😲" that I can't find since I don't know the keywords used for it. I'd like to pin it since I probably don't use more than 10 different emojis. It would be a minimal addition to the interface and speed up usage.

Options missing Answered
0

comment
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.

Clipboard no longer works with numbers keyboard Answered
0

comment
In an app I use there is a field to input a number to submit. Clicking on this field opens Swiftkey's numbers keyboard by default (the one with numbers and symbols accessed by the 123 button on the main keyboard). Up until recently I could access the clipboard to paste a number in, now long pressing does nothing and no clipboard is available. The Samsung keyboard works so I don't think it is the other app.

add more emoticons or customization options Answered
1
vote
2
comments
I haven't seen a way to do this yet, but I find the standard emoticons that are offered to be very bad and lacking in terms of the number of different options.
For instance, literally nobody I know uses ":-D", it's always ":D" which makes this function basically useless for me personally because it seems completely unnatural.But those are quick to type out yourself, I think it's much more important to add ones that you can't easily recreate on your own like "( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)" or better, just give people the option to add and customize emoticons themselves.
I'm aware that you can add them to your clipboard and assign shortcuts, but I would personally prefer having them in the same tab as the standard emoticons, that would be much more convenient and logical in my opinion.

Automatic period positioning Answered

comment
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.

How can I get “Samsung Adaptive” theme on my other phone? Answered
0
votes

comments
On my new Galaxy S21 I’ve got this theme called “Samsung Adaptive”, this is separate to the normal standard “adaptive” theme, this Samsung adaptive theme looks pretty much identical to Gboard’s design and it looks really cool.
I tried to get the theme on my older Note10+ but I can’t find it, both phone’s SwiftKey app version are on 7.7.1.8
I’ve noticed that SwiftKey came preinstalled and it’s a system app that can’t be uninstalled on the Galaxy S21, can I assume that this theme is a Galaxy S21 exclusive? I really hope this theme comes to older phones!
I’m getting an error message when trying to upload screenshots of the theme, here’s an Imgur link to it: https://imgur.com/a/peWpLdW

Capitalisation of the digraph IJ in Dutch Answered

The Dutch swiftkey dictionary doesn't correctly capitalise Dutch words starting with the digraph ij. They should be capitalised as IJ, but swiftkey capitalises those words as Ij. Examples: - Ijmuiden (should be IJmuiden) - Ijsje (should be IJsje) - etc.
