Hi guys,

How to submit a feature request

As the title suggests, there is a lack in foldable phone support in the sense that competing keyboards like gboard are able to accommodate. Switching to split keyboard once the device is open would make SwiftKey so much more convenient. Foldable markets are growing. Hopefully SwiftKey keeps up. 

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.

What does this setting "Show popup keys while typing on the keyboard" do?

So I am obviously from Hungary and try to use Hungarian spell correction and it is ok for 5 to 10 percent of the time. Mostly it corrects the word to a less likely useful or used word. It makes me confusing because MS Office Word has a fantastic Hungarian spell correction database which is also Microsoft so why they don't apply it or use it for this?

Thanks!

Dear developer.
My name is: Minh Duc
I'm in Vietnamese.
I have used alot of Swype keyboard. So I see that, there are some function called
1. Swipe from" 123" button to "A" button to select all text
2. Swipe from "123" button to "C" button to copy
3. Swipe from "123" button to "X" button to cut.
4. Swipe from "123" button to "V" button to Paste.
I think Swiftkey keyboard need Tobe add these functions to become more and more convenient.
Many thanks for developing.

So I switched to iPhone after 6 years using an android phone. I installed swiftkey on ios noticed that the ios swiftkey app is missing some mandatory (imo) features which are present in android version.

Features like resizing keyboard, long press for all symbols and numbers (numbers in first row, other symbols like ;()!%_= etc. underneath), a comma on the left side of space button, long press duration and many more

Why is it like this and are there any official statements on this one? I just love the android swiftkey and don’t like swiftkey at all on ios.

Thanks

On my Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE, Thumb Mode only works in portrait mode. It would be great if thumb mode was also available for landscape mode as well. The only modes other than the full width that works is one handed mode and float mode.

Hi,

I've been using Swiftkey for many years, I really love this keyboard and features. I recently switched to a galaxy fold, and can't match the keyboard to a foldable use case.

Swiftkey has a one-handed layout, which is perfect for the main screen where I can't use swiping in any comfortable and precise way with the normal all-screen layout.

The problem is that if I set it to one handed layout, for some reason the keyboard on the external narrow screen is also narrower, even though simple logic dictates that the very narrow external display is already one-handed and shouldn't be resized.

I can't find any setting to disable this, I have to change the layout setting every time I switch displays which is stupidly annoying and making this keyboard useless on foldables.

Even the split ("thumb") layout follows to the external display, which is even stupider.

Samsung keyboard already has this obvious feature, there are settings to configure default layouts for main display and external display, the external one even has different settings for portrait and landscape modes.

Is there any way to force the keyboard to stay on full layout on the external display and one-handed layout on the main display? Or do I have to abandon Swiftkey for Samsung keyboard?

Thanks

My Android app for SwiftKey keeps telling me I'm signed out even though I'm definitely signed in. All my themes work and everything. How can I fix this?

Hi there!

Is there anything I can do to add more than 5 languages? While I can add more to my list, I cannot activate more than 5 at any given time.
It is also quite a nuisance that you cannot instruct SwiftKey to restrict suggestions to a single language. If languages share the same fundamental layout principles, auto suggestions (auto-correct) will consider several languages at once which can make life quite hard.
For instance, German, French, English (UK) and Dutch will be "running" simultaneously, sometimes producing ridiculous suggestions.

Cheers,
Olaf

Night mode will follow the system settings to switch automatically

So Microsoft did something really great: they allowed certain apps like Bitwarden to insert text into the keyboard. (See my previous post about SwiftKey). Bitwarden now inserts my randomly generated passwords into login forms, which is amazing. I only have to select the Bitwarden logo under the text prediction menu in SwiftKey and voila. The same applies to To-Do: just select the To-Do logo in the prediction menu and you can choose which task to insert. But one thing that I noticed is that the widget disappears after you have pressed the widget logo and inserted a string of text. This is not a problem in general, but if you have selected the wrong item from a widget (i.e. the wrong password from Bitwarden or the wrong To-Do task) and then go back to delete the pasted text data from the login form, you then will not get to see the widget pop up in the prediction menu. It does not appear a second time or ever. Even if the field is empty again. So you spilled your first chance. It has disappeared, even if you need it a second time. That's why I would like to suggest a new feature for widgets. Situation: The user takes the cursor off the text field (outside the form) to scroll down or click somewhere else and returns to the form again. They then click/tap inside the same text field again. (Maybe to add something more or re-enter a different text string). Suggestion: Show the widget again. Make the widget active in the prediction field if the cursor dissappears from the field (field is inactive so to speak) but then reappears on the same field (field is active now). What SwiftKey does right now: it only gives you the option to insert text from a widget like To Do or Bitwarden the first time. So even if you delete the whole entry in the form field, press outside of the field and then back inside, it does not bring up the insertion option from To-Do or Bitwarden. Why not let SwiftKey behave the same way every time the user enters or activates a text field?

So instead of having to reload the page so SwiftKey reloads its Bitwarden/To Do widgets in the prediction menu: make SwiftKey even smarter.

I'm having trouble with SwiftKey remapping the Galaxy Tab S6 (running One UI 5.0) physical keyboard. For most punctuation symbols on the physical keyboard, I get entirely different symbols. See attached PNG table showing a) Top row: Key pressed, b) Bottom row: resultant symbol. If I switch to Samsung Keyboard, the problem disappears. SwiftKey ver 8.10.28.5
