Stop period/dot from forcing a space after it
Currently using latest beta. I am a technical / computer person and therefore my writing vocabulary often includes things with period/dots in them that are not words (i.e. e.g. 192.168.1.1 www.vcu.edu and so-on). The constant forced auto-insertion of a space when I am trying to use a period as a dot, not as punctuation, is driving me crazy and often forces mangled/incorrect emails, texts, etc. I thought turning on the option to insert a period by double-tapping the space bar would turn that off - it did not.
I seem to recall in a previous version of Swiftkey there was the ability to turn off the dot/period from forcing a space after it.
I think when I tried another keyboard (GBoard?) it did not do that. However, I am used to the way Swiftkey works and would hate to switch to something else....
Do you know some of old versions without this stupit functionality, guys? I want it! Tell me number of this version, please!
Kind of funny. I found this thread because I'm irritated that the neutered ios version of SwiftKey does *not auto-add a space after a period, and I wish it did. even with frequent fqdns and ip addresses, on Android I have to tap backspace to delete an unwanted space far less often than I have to tap spacebar to add a needed space on ios. To each his own complaint.
Or... make it an option and eliminate the complaints.
Dear Microsoft! Could you PLEASE LISTEN to your customers and make this bizarre behaviour of putting a space after each dot be configurable?
When I was a MS FTE some 10 years ago, we were constantly (!) drilled that Customer Satisfaction was EVERYTHING. It always started with LISTENING to your customers. This thread is now almost 4 years old, nothing has happened! It is quite obvious the developers of this keyboard did not attend the same mandatory courses in Customer Satisfaction as we did, or that MS has outsourced this product to some Kindergarten programmers in a "customer free" bubble.
Shape up, guys! Be professional! Listen to your customers when they have VERY reasonable suggestions!!
It's been going on for 4 years now, but since the other post creators have deleted their accounts, I just created another! IT WOULD BE REALLY NICE IF YOU WOULD ACT ON THIS RELETIVELY EASY TASK!
I will fucking delete this shit and any Microsoft thing
