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.

I'm a loyal consumer and using SwiftKey since 2015. On my phone, I have installed Grammarly to check grammar after typing from the SwiftKey keyboard. But if SwiftKey has that option already I can uninstall the Grammarly keyboard.

Disappointed in the lack of pride flag emojis

There is only the rainbow flag but none of the other multitude of pride flags. Messenger has them, android keyboard has them, social media platform emojis have them, discord etc as well. SwiftKey is far behind and lacking. As someone who flies a different flag I'm seriously disappointed.

[Feature Request] Option to change font color and style

I love that SwiftKey Beta finally have released Photo Themes, and given users a possibility to design your own custom theme!!!
BUT it needs the possibility to deside the COLOR OF THE FONT. Without it it's not very usefull. It would also be good if you add a way to determend how transparent the photo theme is.

It's been quite a long time since the themes section was updated i changed to gboard for a few days and now i want a combination of the two. It's high time to update that store make it paid if you have to Thanks

Add support for multiple layouts when using a foldable phone
1
vote
1
comment
As the title says, SwiftKey is probably the best keyboard on Android and the fact that it doesn't support one layout for a small screen and another layout for a bigger/main screen is jarring. There aren't really any good alternatives out there and the foldable part of the SwiftKey community would benefit greatly from this addition. Heck, even Microsoft with their Duo series should have already thought about this problem for their users.

Greetings, I am having a challenge with the legibility of some of the keys of my keyboard when I put on "force Dark mode" this is the only app that I have a problem with and I pray that you resolve it. The keys are the spacebar, backspace, enter, shift key, left, right and down arrow keys, the search icon in the top bar specifically.

настроила синхронизацию между компьютером и андроид-клавиатурой, если я копирую текст на телефоне, я вижу его на пк, но наоборот не работает. пробовала и автоматическую синхронизацию, и ручную, но работает функция только в одну сторону. очень бы хотелось иметь возможность полной синхронизации, в чем может быть причина?

SwiftKey refuses to let me type accented characters on a physical keyboard using Parallels Client Answered

comment
I love Swiftkey, but it doesn't work correctly in combination with an RDP client like Parallels Client. Whenever Swiftkey is enabled as the current input method in the Android settings, typing accented characters (and sometimes pressing backspace) doesn't work well in the Parallels Client. When using Gboard as my main keyboard, everything works fine, but with Swiftkey, characters are shown twice, lliikkee tthhiiss, and accented characters aren't working as it should when PC keyboard mode is enabled in Parallels Client. Could this be fixed?

Normally I love to write with SwiftKey, but after installing it on a new tablet with Android 7.0 often I got an opening window (you see below) to type in it. I can't write directly anymore in the official fields like in my business calender or in WhatsApp.Is this a bug or a function which I can disable anywhere

Hello, could you guys implement the Kaomoji from Windows 10 to the Microsoft Swiftkey Keyboard for Android? I really wish to use the Swiftkey keyboard full-time without switching to either the Samsung Keyboard or Gboard for the Kaomojis. Please add Kaomoji to the Swiftkey Keyboard.

Don't add a space after a dot/period
26
votes
11
comments
Please deactivate automatic spacing after typing a dot, or add an option to NOT insert a space (" ") after typing a dot/period ("."). It is very annoying, as the dot is a common character in any text field or text area (think input fields and text editors, not just web addresses, code editors and alike).
Although this issue has been reported several times, there's still no reaction from SwiftKey/Microsoft for SEVERAL YEARS. Maybe the issue is not tracked anymore as it is associated with a "permanently deleted user".

The predictions bar on the bottom is just annoying and not useful. I've gone through the settings a few times but thus far have been unable to figure out how to hide it completely. Is that not an option or am I just a big dummy and keep missing the setting?https://imgur.com/a/FFKC1Kh https://gbapps.org/fmwhatsapp-apk/

Is there a button that allows you to easily switch keyboards? I use another keyboard for programming and would like to switch between the two. The programming keyboard and a few others (gboard) you can hold the spacebar to list all of your keyboards if you can add this feature if such does not yet exist. Thanks!

Feedback: Under settings >> Rich Input >> Tasks >> "Allow Tasks suggestion on your last copied item I love this feature, and I would like Microsoft to make an API available which allows third-party apps (which have been verified/vetted by Microsoft) to be able to paste their information into SwiftKey as well. I would like to allow access to other apps under the setting "Rich Input" and to then add the Bitwarden password manager. Now only To Do Tasks (Wunderlist) items can be added but it would be great if other password managers and other apps could do this as well. Maybe you guys are already working on this and otherwise I would like to request it. I think more people would benefit from this. : )

Voice to Text Deletes SwiftKey Keyboard Preference

When I go to use Voice to Text from my SwiftKey Keyboard, the keyboard disappears and is no longer accessible. Upon trying to pull up the keyboard again, it is not retrievable. When reviewing the keyboard setting in the system settings, it shows that the On-screen keyboard has changed from SwiftKey to Gboard. Help please?
This started happening after the Android 12 update.
