There is one thing missing from this keyboard to make it perfect, in my opinion. Something LG keyboard has and is very useful: the ability to change the most used punctuation key(s) near the space bar. Right not there is a "," and a ".", the latter having a drop-down menu. I would like to be able to change them to what i use most. In LG, this is possible and you are even able to move their location (left or right).

Would you consider implementing this in the future, please?

Hi! I'm using your keyboard for many years. And all this time I'm struggling one annoying issue. SK puts a needless space BEFORE colon, semicolon and quotation marks and puts no space after them. This happens in the Flow mode. Is there any way to fix it or get your really useful update?

Flow typing has stopped working for me.  Everything else seems to work though.  Just no flow.  I have uninstalled/reinstalled the app.  Cleared cache.  Restarted phone.  Switched to Gestures and back.  Talkback is not enabled.  Not positive but it might have stopped working after recent android update.

 Hi! I have a lil' bit of a problem here... I've been using your app on and off for several years now (for some reason on my older phones it came preinstalled and without an option to uninstall it so i had to remove updates and disable in case of not using it).

It's a nice app but it lacks one very important option... the one where you can remove that freaking crappy suggestion bar that eats from my display when i type messages.. I've tried changing to my language but I never use it..

On the first screenshot is that useless bar with the autocorrect off and on the second it's the keyboard without a language selected (an even bigger mess).

I know that you guys want my/our data badly and try to scoop it little by little, but at least for those 0.1% of us that find it completely useless at least give us the option to BURN AND DESTROY the living hell of it... For the time being i'll go and try to find some other keyboard that hopefully has that option regardless of how unsafe it is but it would be nice to hear back from you guys.

Hello,

this night my german language dataset disappeared and the language selection list is empty. Now Swiftkey is useless. I restarted my phone. Still the same problem.

Android 12, Pixel 6pro

Any idea?

I just got a new phone and I thought all my data and settings would transfer over when I installed the app on my new phone, but it hasn't. Please help! I'm on android.

Is there a shekel key on your Hebrew keyboard? I noticed there are some other money symbols, but I could not find the most important money symbol for a Hebrew keyboard.

If there is one on the keyboard, where do I look?

When using flow, if there's a error and I don't notice and use arrows to go back to the correction spot and start to type, the cursor suddenly jumps to the end and changes the last word I typed.  This is a very new development and super annoying.

I have Android V12

SwiftKey V 8.10.14.5

Is is possible to just use the urdu keyboard and turn off new phonetic option. Phonetic keyboard stacks with English keyboard and changes some English words to urdu. Really annoying.

Hi all! Please add a latin layout of the Chechen language.
You can find a layout I made for UNIX systems in the link below. Me and our community could help you integrate it into SwiftKey, if necessary.

I am entirely at your service for further information.
Best regards!

Hello,

I would like to report crashes ocurring on my phone.

This happens in apps, if you tap to some input, the keyboard just won't show up. Tapping elsewhere and focusing other input also does not work, same as closing the other app and reopening, when this happens, the keyboard just won't show up anywhere in the system. The only thing working is going to SwiftKey app info, force-stopping the app and then starting the keyboard from the app drawer.

For me, it happens a lot in Slack application. Right now, I don't recall other app crashing it, but that also means I cannot say if other app does it or not.

Phone: Vivo V2050 (also marked as V21 5G)

Android: Android 12 with April security update

Keyboard: SwiftKey beta 8.10.15.2

Log: would like to attach, don't seet he option here on mobile though.

Thank you! 

Often, when typing a post, the point of typing is mysteriously moved backwards in text by a few words or a couple of sentences and I'll find the last 3 - 5 words I've typed are showing up in the middle of some previous text for no apparent reason. It is very frustrating to have to go back and delete perfectly well-written text from the middle of another sentence and then retype that text. It is frustrating enough for me to have sought out this forum, and if no fix is explained to me very shortly, I will update my Play Store recommendation and uninstall your keyboard app.

I'm on Android with SwiftKey 8.10.13.1 with Dutch and English enabled. In a recent update in the last couple of months, SwiftKey has become quite destructive in splitting words in the smallest possible sensible components instead of the largest ones. This is annoying, because Dutch is a compounding language. That means we glue compounds or derivatives together, much like German, so we can have words like slaapkamerwekkerradio. SwiftKey doesn't like this. It especially seems to have an issue with words that have a preposition as a prefix/suffix. For instance it autocorrects "inspanning" as "in spanning", "vooraan" as "voor aan", "uitgeven" as "uit geven", and so on. This is only recently happening (somewhere this year), but it is quite annoying. I wish this could be remedied because I find that I have to correct SwiftKey much too often these days.

When in portrait mod , SwiftKey functions properly, but in landscape mode it overlays the input dialog with a blinding white input box that fills the entire top of the screen. It occurs with authentication dialogs, when entering an app review in Google Play store, etc. This is quite a shock to the eyes when working in dark mode.

The problem doesn't occur with Samsung keyboard.
