When inputting alpha-numeric formulas into an app everything above the keys vanishes
0 votos 1 comentario

Example: the KLWP app. When I open the field to type in a mixed text/number string, the 3 suggestion tabs above the keyboard vanish, but more importantly, so does the row containing the clipboard button. This leaves me with no paste for formulae. This does not happen with the stock Samsung keyboard
Flow typing not working
0 votos 1 comentario

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.

Samsung Note20 Ultra 5g.

One UI version: 4.1

Huge typing problems in Facebook on Android
1 voto 1 comentario

In many cases, Swift has become impossible to use when entering or editing comments in Facebook. Typing straight-away works okay, but you sometimes can't delete a word without it getting confused, or insertion text (it inserts elsewhere). It seems it's losing track of the cursor position which causes odd behaviors. You can see that the suggested words get confused too (probably from the cursor problem.) I sometimes have to compose in another app and then paste. Very frustrating. I'm guessing that Facebook is doing some odd things that maybe trip-up SwiftKey. Needs to be fixed soon!
speech-to-text closing after one word 2nd time being used
0 votos 3 comentarios

when i use speech-to-text via long-pressing the comma button, it seems to work fine. if I leave the display up and hit the button again to say more, no matter how much I say it only outputs the first word, and it usually turns itself off after that one word. I think usually when this happens, if I hit the button again it works fine, then again will only be one word, and so on. this also happens if i: open speech to text say some stuff close speech to text open speech to text say some stuff this ^ is not an effective workaround, the bug still happens. i dont remember for sure if this happens if I close the keyboard and reopen it. I'll test that case and get videos soon. this has been happening for a long time, at least 6 months. I have a pixel 5 with updated Android. p.s. also planning to make a post soon about my cursor jumping around very frustratingly so lmk if anyone else has experienced that
Custom themes

Custom theme but with a shape user wants, maybe use one shape from existing theme and add or remove symbols to/from the keys?
Chechen Latin Keyboard Layout

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.

请求适配安卓全键盘智能机型
0 votos 2 comentarios

特别喜欢使用微软这款输入法,但是本人目前在用的是unihertz titan pocket这款小众机型,发现这款输入法对实体全键盘的支持较弱,希望增强适配.主要从几个功能提出诉求: 1.目前不能空格选词上屏 2.希望增加alt+数字键选词上屏功能 3.希望增加自定义短语功能,意思就是让用户自行设置按两下单个按键输入固定标点或短语,比如连续按两下k,输入可以的这个常用词汇
Please add this to Malayalam language
0 votos 1 comentario

Hi, Just wanted to say that it is next to impossible to type the word "trip" in Malayalam. It always add the word "drip" which is correctly translated as "ട്രിപ്പ്". The t sound is "റ്റ". The d sound is "ട". Similarly for the word "tree" it wrongly translates to "ട്രീ", which sounds like "dree". So for "trip", just replace "ട" to "റ്റ" and it will be perfect.

Incognito mode
0 votos 1 comentario

I have just had to do a reset on my phone and after reinstalling Swiftkey it now changes to Incognto mode whenever I am in the app drawer. I can't read the incognito theme at all (whoever thought dark grey on a black background was a great idea should be shot), and as a result the keyboard becomes useless when trying to do an app search. How do I stop it from changing modes in the app drawer? It's not like I have to hide what's on there, it's not typing into a sensitive app, it's just the app listing for heaven's sake.

constantly hitting the send key, before im ready to send or enter the text
0 votos 1 comentario

i can't begin to estimate how many times I've accidentally hit the enter key and ended up sending incomplete sentences, because the enter key is right below the delete key, so every time i have to backspace there's a risk of accidently sending the text. you guys have to fix it, please give us more theme options, that has all other keys in the default layout but puts the enter key somewhere else, or even just add a option to require a prompt before entering the text, that way if i accidently hit the enter key, a prompt will come up, tap outside the box to cancel it out. I've already been looking for a alternative keyboard. because i can't take much more of this awful placement of the enter key

SwiftKey acts as dumb keyboard in some cases.
0 votos 1 comentario

Been using SwiftKey for a decade or so, but only recently, on my galaxy s20 fe, it sometimes won't show corrections, or provide any advanced functions at all. Which means I can't use macros, and spend more time correcting mistakes than typing effectively. So is there a way to force proper functionality on the fly? I'm using version 8.10.11.3

Chinese Keyboard
1 voto 1 comentario

I switched from Gboard for two reasons:

1. I'm a Microsoft person.
2. Gboard's lag was killing me.

However, you guy seriously need to improve your Chinese keyboard. Mainly because it's hard to type actual names since I don't remember every single character.
Predictions should not move
0 votos 1 comentario

Who else has that obnoxious problem where they type three letters and the prediction they want pops up, then they type another letter and that prediction randomly moves to another space, so when you muscle memory tap where it just was you get the wrong word? Like so many Microsoft applications there's always some irritating feature or gap in how it works that makes it frustrating to use for literally no reason-- this is a six second bug to fix and this is the eighth or ninth time I've reported it going back to when I first started using SwiftKey in 2013. Just. Fix. It.

New clip does not show in keyboard suggestion if same text already exist in clipboard history
0 votos 1 comentario

When you copy a text from somewhere, the copied text appear as a suggestion in the keboard. This is very nice and convenient. But if the text you just copied already exist in the clipboard history, it does not show on the keyboard, and you have to go into the clipboard history to find the text you are interrested in.

It would be much better if you copy a text, this text will show on the keyboard even if it does not cause a new endtry in the clipboard history (preferably also that the newly copied text is moved to top in the history).
The keyboard disappears.

Hi. I have a problem with SwiftKey installed on both my Samsung A52 and my tablet, Samsung.

When I start to print text, the first letter makes the keyboard shut down.

When I'm trying it for the second time, it works.

Could this be a bug in the system?

Has anyone experienced the same problem?
Unanswered numbers only keypad request
0 votos 1 comentario

So, I see that some years ago this questions has been asked but not answered properly, and that happened more than once. I would like to have a numbers only keypad, and I don't seem to find and option for that with swiftkeys. Depending on where I'm typing (which app I'm using), I get numbers only or I get numbers and other keys. I would like the number keypad to look like this, but I only get that with one app.
Bullet, checkmark characters?
2 votos 5 comentarios

Won't you please include the bullet ( • ) and checkmark ( ✓ ) characters, so useful for lists of items and tasks? You could easily add them as alternate long-press symbols. It's the only thing preventing me from switching from GBoard to SwiftKey. I've asked for this for a couple of years now on Play Store, but maybe you don't read those comments…? Thanks!
