Hi,
when typing kiss for example the Emoji 😘 shows up but sometimes I would like to put multiple of them so keeping them there as long they get pressed would be nice eh now I'll keep pressing the same spot '😘 the most important... ' instead of what I mean '😘😘😘😘😘😘😘.... '

Regards

Would it be possible to change Estonian QWERTY layout and put the letter "ö" under a separate key? It's rather crucial while writing in Estonian to use the letter separately from the letter "o" under what it currently resides.

With best regards.

I'd like SwiftKey to fix double spaces everywhere.

I often make those kind of mistakes and I like when it fixes some of the spacing, but sometimes I edit a word before punctuation and make an  extra space by mistake - that's what I need fixed.

And generally, when it detects double space where one shouldn't be, it should fix it.

Thank you.

Hello, SwiftKey is the best keyboard, but the qwerty layout has flaws, as well as all the other keyboard layouts for thumb typing.

I have made my own layout, and want to test it out on SwiftKey :). Is there any way to add my own layout into the language select screen? Maybe if I rooted my phone?

I am willing to relearn a layout, and it's really easy for me to do. I want one which allows me to be sloppy and have really good autocorrect. I can text without looking, but every time I look at my screen, I see the same errors caused by certain keys being too close.

So yeah, I made my own layout, and if it's not perfect, I have an idea for writing a program which can figure out a better layout, and I will continually test each new layout.

And yes I've tried LOADS of android keyboards and also different layouts(qwerty, colemak, dvorak, azerty, etc). Swiftkey is the best for autocorrection, and the smartest so far.

I'm currently using JBak keyboard with my own layout, but it's autocorrect is rubbish.

Why go to so much hassle? because I know it's possible to text without looking at my screen, and I like being able to look up at the world whilst texting at a fast speed, followed by a quick proof read.

Hi guys, I know this may be silly, but whatsapp has just included the fox emoji a few weeks ago, which us awesome (I love foxes) it would be super cool if you guys had a fox emoji. Previously I would always type and the keyboard would predict my emoji, now however, because I use the fox in every text/message, I often go to the actual apps emoji selection instead of the SwiftKey emojis through predictions

In the gesture input section there are only two options: flow and gestures. I don't want to use any of them since they cause me some problems while I'm typing on my Xperia c4 device. Please add "None" option for those like me. By the way, thank you for developing such fantastic app.

instead of the letter m i always hit bspace. any way to resize it or place it somewhere else?

I changed keyboard want my old back

Hi,

I've used SwiftKey (and SwiftKey Neural) for a few years on several devices. Recently I got hold of a Pixel C and the accompanying physical keyboard, both of which are great. 

However, I've noticed that the "..." button on the keyboard (which brings up symbols etc has no effect when the default keyboard is SwiftKey. That is with GBoard, touching "..." gives me access to all the extra keys and symbols. With Swiftkey it just acts as a Right-Alt key.

Is there a stetting anywhere in SwiftKey?

Is it something you're aware of and are working on?

Is it something you're aware of but can do nothing about due to Google having something locked down?

Any advice would be awesome, thanks. I have the beginnings of an idea in the back of my head to use IFTTT to switch to GBoard when the device sees the physical board, and back to SwiftKey when not...

I have speech set to uk. But the keyboard setup is English Australia. So why don't I get a dollar on the keyboard. It's very frustrating to have to type in the word dollar every time. . I don't the stupid £ sign.

Thank you so much for this forum about T9 keyboard for SwiftKey. I hope you'll make it. Much more easy to write with just one hand. Please let me know when you make it. Many people will enjoy it. In Portuguese too. Thank you.

I was wondering if there was any way to setup autocomplete hotkeys for use with swiftkey and a physical keyboard. 

So, recently my SwiftKey keyboard was updated. There is a devnagri script keyboard option as well as the QWERTY English that I usually use. I use a lot of Hinglish in my messages, sure, but I'm not so happy when the English keyboard simply changes the words into devnagri. If I need to I can simply shift over using the spacebar to the devnagri script keyboard. But for the script to hijack my English posts is incongruous, inconvenient, and honestly, frustrating, especially because perfectly acceptable English words are transcribed unnecessarily and SwiftKey becomes not so swift anymore. That's not fun when I have to write emails or text messages in a professional capacity.
What can I do to make this not happen anymore? Are there settings to switch the transcriptions off? Is that possible?

Hey I had an idea for your keyboard.

A custom emoji tab where we can add a select number of our favorite emoji for quick selection. SwiftKey is the top of the crop and this feature would enhance our typing capabilities even more. Thanks!

New poster. I hope this is in the correct place. Mods please advise if necessary :)

• Android 7.0 (Nougat)
• Swiftkey 6.5.4.26 

Twice in the past day or so, Swiftkey has suddenly minimized to just the predictions, the keyboard presumably off the bottom of the screen.

One time, I reset the phone, and that restored it. I wouldn't be here posting, but just a few minutes ago it happened again. This time I disabled and re-enabled Swiftkey and that fixed it...but if this keeps happening, I obviously will not find it worth having to do that each time.

I don't know how to reproduce this, per se. When it happens, it is that way in all apps. Both times it was initially in the AT&T default texting app, but that's probably coincidence, because it's what I use most.

The space key takes up the space of ➍ keys but has zero functions except, ugh, space and the language switch button which doesn't seem necessary nowadays when the keyboard works in English just fine (with predictions and all) even with a foreign language keyboard always on.

It's space not very well used, is it not? My proposal is that it would get a new look and new functionality: In lieu of one, we would get four buttons which all still do work as the space button but each of them would get their unique secondary functions. One's function — tongue switch. There rest is up to you. ✌

I use SwiftKey for years now and I've got rid of most of the weird suggestions now, but it took extremely long and I had to remove lots of words every day for many years. And still I sometimes get suggestions like
"gaucho Hagan Hitchens Cecil Barco barstool Megan yap naval brouhaha..."
that nobody needs. And that after removing thousands of words from the dictionary.
I know that the dictionary must be somewhere in SwiftKey's app data, since it has to be saved offline somewhere. But normal users can't see/edit some binary file in a protected folder, so my suggestion is:
Please make the list of words that are currently in the dictionary available to edit in some form, maybe as a text file (although I doubt it could be opened with the RAM of a phone), maybe as a list with checkboxes to delete many entries at once, maybe in another form.

I noticed that after the latest update there is no more auto space after swift, please bring it back!

after the recent update , auto spacing prediction is not working, I have to manually press space button to get the next predicted word. which makes typing slow. and it is really embarrassing.
please bring back the old settings and my keypad freezing frequently.

After the last update the auto spacing after predicting a word has gone. It has just destroyed all the productivity that SwiftKey had been giving to me.

No, this is not a feature for Android beta version. After the last update, this becomes a bug for me and many others that are complaining about it.

Usually when I swipe on the keyboard, after I complete a word, on keyboard release, SwiftKey inserts the predicted word followed by a space.
But now it doesn't behave that way anymore: after I swiped the cursor stays attached to the predicted word and a space is inserted only after I touch the keyboard again.
How can I go back to the previous mode?

Thanks

Hello team,

I know it's me who's raising about this issue again. Regardless the android version, phone model, and apps, Chinese typing lags hugely while taping on the suggestion on the prediction bar. It takes one or two seconds to get the suggestion typed into the text box. It happens since the 5-language support, which means it has been 4 or 5 months. Some users and me made several reports during this time but we heard absolutely zero fix or underway news.

This feedback is also included in my report article to the team, and this should happen now, we waited for too long.

Bon courage team!

I've been using Swiftkey for 4 years now on two different phones. Previously when I used to type incorrect words in English swiftkey showed the suggestions for the correct spelling. I need that because I've a weak vocabulary and depend on swiftkey for the spellings. But on the other hand, i also type Bengali words in English for communicating with friends. Now i feel that the Bengali words in English are being suggested for incorrect spellings. If i make a mistake in an English word, like "swiming" or "ocupation" i dont see any suggested spellings for the correct word.
I assumed that the English form of Bengali words got stored thus deleting the original English words from the list.

Any kind of assistance regarding this matter will really help me. Thank you.

There's a site where I chat with hosts
When I try to type the key board disappears

How can I install Turkish F keyboard?

How do I uninstall unwanted keyboards?

I'm experiencing problemas with the use of SwiftKey and Android Email App. When type an email using SwiftKey, and a notification arrives on the top of the screen, my SwiftKey keyboard moves millimeters up until the notification is dismissed.
Besides annoying, this problem leads to errors on typing.
Anyone knows how to solve it?
