We recently brought Cursor Control to your Microsoft SwiftKey Keyboard for Android. This much-requested feature had previously only ever been available on iOS.
If you haven't tried it out you can do so by tapping & holding your spacebar to move the cursor.
If you use multiple languages, cursor control will need to be turned on first; this setting can be found in your ‘Typing’ menu.
Make yourself heard!
We'd love to know what you think. This is YOUR opportunity to help us shape the future of Cursor Control, e.g. is it useful? Does it work as you expect? Could it be improved? Do you love/hate it?
Whatever your opinion, we will take all feedback seriously.

How to change clipboard 1 hour expiry settings

Hi Team I would like to check how I can keep clipboard entries without pinning them more than for 1 hour. Any reason for 1 hour decision? It doesn't make sense. I am OK to clear entries on restart but expiry 8s my decision and I need to be able to control that. Also pinning doesn't seem to work as I can't see my pinned items from windows machine on my Android. I think that app needs a bit of improvements. Regards, Areg -

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. -

Why is iOS SwiftKey different than Android? Missing amazing features
2 votos
5 comentarios
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

Swiftkey on galaxy fold with separate layouts
6 votos
6 comentarios
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

How do I edit personal dictionary

By accident, I added a misspelled word to my personal dictionary. Have to admit it's not the first time. Can users access the words they added to the dictionary? How can I edit the personal dictionary? (I searched for this question but only found 5-6 yr old answers saying it can't be done. Am hoping there were improvements since then!) -

Drag finger to move cursor is way too sensitive

Using the feature moves the cursor a lot more than I would like to, making it so that selecting specific places in words is really hard . Is there any chance you guys give us an option in the setting to configure how far the cursor moves upon using the drag feature? -

SwiftKey remaps my physical keyb on Tab S6

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

Ability to use censored gifs

I realize that you want to try to keep everyone happy, but we should be able to use adult orientated gifs. As an adult, I am fully capable of knowing when it's appropriate to use them and when it's not. A toggle that is turned off by default, but to allow us to turn them on would be great. Right now, I have to switch between keyboards to use them, which is obviously not the solution that I should have to use. Especially with such a great tool as this is :).

Disable flow AND gesture.

Could it be possible to add a option to disable gesture input altogether?
I do not like using flow as it makes me type slower, so I put it in gesture and because of that, sometimes deletes words or lowers the keyboard which is very annoying.
I am just wanting you to add a option to disable it entirely. I know I would use it, and there has someone else out there too!- Joe

Managing personal words and phrasess
1 voto

In SwiftKey, there seems to be no way to manage the list of personal words and phrases that have been added to the dictionary. Am I missing something? This feature should be added. I have been a very long time user of SwiftKey, and my personal dictionary contains so many words that are mis-types, misspelled words, etc., I should be able to scroll a list and selectively delete a batch. Only option is to delete the whole dictionary, or long press to delete a single word from the suggested list above the keyboard when I see it. Help! -
Voice Typing

Back story. For many months I've been using 2 keyboards, gboard for voice typing and SwiftKey for regular typing. I decided to hit the microphone and try using SwiftKey voice to text and it was just like that of gboard! I was ecstatic and then today, all of a sudden it reverted back to the old voice typing with the white box.. Why!? I was so happy with the black box that would type as I was speaking making my life so much easier. I really don't wanna go back to using 2 keyboards, please bring back the voice to text that was just like gboard. It was like having the best of both worlds! SwiftKey blows gboard out of the water but when it comes to voice to text gboard is still better. At least let me have the option to choose which voice to text I wanna use. Please! Example, when I'm in my car I could unlock my phone to my messenger and the voice dictation would automatically start, amazing! I need this back. It was truly amazing but too short lived. -

Please add your own Microsoft voice system to the keyboard, because Google Voice is not available in the Chinese network, and with your own voice system you can also optimize your own voice input, just like the computer side -

Pinyin Input and Missing Pinyin Accents (1st and 3rd)
2 votos
3 comentarios
I have read previous posts about this but still no resolution.
I am learning Chinese and I have a need to type Pinyin, such as: Wǒ jīntiān gǎnjué hěn hǎo
Currently the English language does not allow fto enter these two accents ā AND ě. (1st and third)
I cannot use the Chinese language as that is design for entering Hanzi characters.
My only option is to swap to Google Pinyin Input Keyboard app that is horrible and not simple to swap back and forth between Swiftkey and Google keyboards.
I have two questions:
1. Is there a way for me to enter the two missing accents: ā AND ě.or is there a plan in place at Swift key to inlcude these on a long-press?
2. Is there a really quick way for me to switch between keyboards?
Thanks
