[Feature Request] Remove the period next to the space bar
I have been using SwiftKey since I first switched to Android about five years ago I do believe the SwiftKey is the best keyboard for Android. One problem I always have had is I constantly go to hit the spacebar and I enter a "." {period} I believe it would be great if I could make the space bar either larger or remove the punctuation key next to the space bar all together. It seems no matter how hard I try if I am typing fast I can't seem to hit that space bar without hitting the period at least once every 25 words. It would be great if even there were certain skins that maybe changed the size of the space bar or remove certain keys. All the other keys I hit by mistake autocorrect takes care of. I still believe screen responsiveness is a lot better on iOS than Android so I don't believe this is really a SwiftKey issue or my typing but SwiftKey does help the shortcomings of this android app issue.
I wholeheartedly support this request. I came here to ask for exactly the same thing for the iOS version. That period key is just not useful there. I keep.typing.periods.between.my.words, it's very, very annoying and shaves years off my patience.
Thanks!
Please move the space bar to the far. Edge
As you can see thumb typing you hit the period. all the time
Yup. Happens to me all the time. Would like to see the return key moved somewhere else and the period shifted to the far right edge with a longer spacebar.
Please do this
I have no idea why it's taken so long to add an option related to this issue, it's not that hard to code.
Adding my voice to this. The period key is in a terrible place right now. even shifting out more to the right would help.
yep. when. typing. on. a. large. screen. phone. every. sentence. looks. like. this.
I've discovered that having a dedicated emoticon key causes the space bar to shift left as the return key gets larger. I don't know why Swiftkey did that. It's subtle, but disabling the separate key option helps out. I don't consider this a 'fix', just a temporary help.
Yes! Please do something with the period /space bar. I am constantly hitting the period.
Please. Do. This
Because. I literally. Type.like this.
Shrink enter key, widen space bar.. Anything! Please!!
Seriously? This issue has not been looked at since March? The period is still annoying I keep typing the period in........
Please. Do. This.
Please. Do. This.
Alright, I have to agree with all these wonderful people. This is kind of annoying, and if this was a toggle in the settings I'm sure many people would be happy.
I am also supporting this request. It's really annoying.
Is there an answer from. The developers?
Is there anybody out there at all? Do you even do user testing?
Please add an option for this this. The space bar should extend to the return key and the period should be relocated all together. I constantly hit the period when I type fast and it's making me think about trying out other keyboards. Please help
Either an option to make the space bar slightly bigger or move the period would appreciated! Too many accidental periods while trying to type at a decent speed.
Please do this! Period key is. In. The. Way and. So. Annoying!!
Yeah, I went ahead and uninstalled SwiftKey, just couldn't put up with periods constantly being inserted into my texts. Thanks, I'll go back to stock keyboard.
BUMP!
Just make the space bar larger please!!! I also.cant.stand to type.like this.
Yeah I'm gonna. Delete swiftkey soon if we cannot. Get this simple feature.
I agree, have an option to move the period to be next to comma. Or to turn the comma key into the dual purpose period key.
Yes please at least answer us developers. People. Keep wondering why I'm ending. Sentences and upper casing words for no reason. Just for this post I am. Not fixing the amount of times I hit the period
Please allow an option to enlarge the space bar or remove the period key. This is soo annoying. Come on guys how many requests before you respond!!!!
Yes. I too.suffer.from.period.space. If I want a period i use double space.
omg. yes. please. why. is.this. still. a. problem. it's. incredible. does. no. one. listen. to. these. forums? it. seems. like. such. a. basic. problem. to. address....!!! please. listen. to. the complaints. people
Get. rif. of. the. Period. Key.
Jeez. This. Period. Key. Is. The. Most. Priminate. Key. On. The. Keyboard. I'd. Rather
Press. The. Space bar. Twice. (why is space bar not. One word? It's one thing...)
I have given up and gone back to the stock Samsung keyboard. No reponse from Swiftkey..........bye bye
