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.

Bing Search Feature gone, but why?

comments
Everyone is complaining about how the Bing Search feature on the keyboard has been removed, and I agree as I don't see why it needed to go. Since the replies to each post is vague and doesn't actually say why the feature wasn't removed, I want to ask for everyone: Why is it gone? What led the developers to decide that it needed to go?

When typing in our melodic Ukrainian, it too often happens that those stinky Russian words are being inserted into the prediction row, despite they are from the quite different languages. Please reinforce the language-distinguishing boundaries between these two vocabulary arrays. Thanks in advance!

Where'd my beloved search function go?

I know that you have decided "Hi, thank you for your interest in Search. We have taken the decision to remove Search from Microsoft SwiftKey Keyboard. As of Microsoft SwiftKey 7.8.3, Search won't be available in Toolbar. We are sorry if this comes as disappointing news, we will instead focus our development efforts in other exciting areas of your keyboard." But how about we get an explanation as to why you decided that? If it's the thing about bing, that doesn't matter, I used chrome in my search function anyway and I think many others did as well.

There's no reason for user experience to remove the web search tool. It was always an elective option, but now we're robbed of that choice. I can see no good reason for this decision, other than greed. Please rethink it. You've unnecessarily disappointed and baffled a lot of your users.

Unable to Sync Predictions from Older Version of Swiftkey to the Microsoft Version on New Phone
0

comments
I have been using the paid version of the Swiftkey, which I purchased via Amazon since 2013. I first used it on my s4 mini, then in 2015 I used it on my Galaxy tab S, then in 2016 I upgraded to an S7 and used it there, and in every instance my predictions synced to the new device and continued to increase. However, now that I am transferring the data from my old phone to a new one, I am not seeing an option to sync or sign-in to into my swiftkey original account so that I can sync my predictions to this new device. Any recommendations?

Problem with long button press for numeric characters

comments
I've configured my long button press time to 200 ms. This works well, except on the q and the p key. Currently I use the numeric characters mostly from the long press feature on the top row. But the long press time on q and p seems to need holding the button about a second. Any idea why?

Bug: Must not auto-capitalize in Georgian
0
votes
1
comment
Hello,
Starting with Android 10, SwiftKey does auto-capitalization for Georgian language.
The problem is, Georgian does NOT have capital letters, so SwiftKey puts some weird Mtavruli script letters in their place, making the letters appear very weird when the text is sent to other systems.
To reproduce: Enable "Auto capitalize" feature in SwiftKey on Android 10. Type and send Georgian text in a facebook message to someone. Open that message on a Windows 7 computer - you will see a square as the first letter. Opening it on some other systems also exposes the problem - the first letters just look weird (e.g. on openSUSE Linux).
I would disable "Auto capitalize", but it's a global option for all languages and I still want it in English.
P.S. Gboard also had this problem, but they fixed it very soon after Android 10 release.

Screen goes dark whenever I start typing

I don't know if this is because of an update or because of my new phone, but my screen started going dark whenever I start typing with Microaoft Swiftkey. It didn't use to do this before and it's driving me NUTS. I CAN'T SEE A THING. If they're going to implement this feature, at least give the users an option to switch it off!!!! I've been having such a hard time typing and I'm this close to just uninstalling it altogether!!!!!
