SwiftKey Q&A: Week 1 - Cursor Control Mostrada Destacada
2 votos 22 comentarios

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.

cursor jumping around weirdly and getting stuck (space bar cursor control fixes?) Respondida
0 votos 1 comentario

Sometimes when I'm typing (not sure when this happens exactly) my cursor will be forcefully moved to a new location. when I try to tap in the text box to go where I want, the cursor moves visually, but when I type it puts me back in that new location. I'm stuck there until I long press the space bar to move the cursor in a new location. screen record example: https://imgur.com/a/WQ666Xz
Keyboard crashes (with Slack) Respondida
0 votos 1 comentario

Hello,

I would like to report crashes ocurring on my phone.

This happens in apps, if you tap to some input, the keyboard just won't show up. Tapping elsewhere and focusing other input also does not work, same as closing the other app and reopening, when this happens, the keyboard just won't show up anywhere in the system. The only thing working is going to SwiftKey app info, force-stopping the app and then starting the keyboard from the app drawer.

For me, it happens a lot in Slack application. Right now, I don't recall other app crashing it, but that also means I cannot say if other app does it or not.

Phone: Vivo V2050 (also marked as V21 5G)

Android: Android 12 with April security update

Keyboard: SwiftKey beta 8.10.15.2

Log: would like to attach, don't seet he option here on mobile though.

Thank you!
Editing misspelled word causes cursor to jump to another spot Respondida
0 votos 1 comentario

When using flow, if there's a error and I don't notice and use arrows to go back to the correction spot and start to type, the cursor suddenly jumps to the end and changes the last word I typed. This is a very new development and super annoying.

I have Android V12

Somebody who works @swiftkey pitch this to somebody who can make this happen: when long pressing the button situated next to Enter, there should also appear a Paste button.
Clipboard improvement Respondida
2 votos 1 comentario

Please add a feature that allows users to control clipboard content while posting from clipboard, while the clipboard is open, so there's no need to select where we want to paste the item, open clipboard paste the item, close the clipboard, select new area and open clipboard and then again close, open... Select... I propose that you add arrows in the clipboard, space and enter button that could control where a user would like to post items from the clipboard. If you didn't understand my suggestion, I can try to clarify it further.

SwiftKey too eager in splitting words in Dutch Respondida
1 voto 1 comentario

I'm on Android with SwiftKey 8.10.13.1 with Dutch and English enabled. In a recent update in the last couple of months, SwiftKey has become quite destructive in splitting words in the smallest possible sensible components instead of the largest ones. This is annoying, because Dutch is a compounding language. That means we glue compounds or derivatives together, much like German, so we can have words like slaapkamerwekkerradio. SwiftKey doesn't like this. It especially seems to have an issue with words that have a preposition as a prefix/suffix. For instance it autocorrects "inspanning" as "in spanning", "vooraan" as "voor aan", "uitgeven" as "uit geven", and so on. This is only recently happening (somewhere this year), but it is quite annoying. I wish this could be remedied because I find that I have to correct SwiftKey much too often these days.
请求适配安卓全键盘智能机型
0 votos 2 comentarios

特别喜欢使用微软这款输入法,但是本人目前在用的是unihertz titan pocket这款小众机型,发现这款输入法对实体全键盘的支持较弱,希望增强适配.主要从几个功能提出诉求: 1.目前不能空格选词上屏 2.希望增加alt+数字键选词上屏功能 3.希望增加自定义短语功能,意思就是让用户自行设置按两下单个按键输入固定标点或短语,比如连续按两下k,输入可以的这个常用词汇

Backspace to undo correction Respondida
1 voto 1 comentario

As a bilingual user, SwiftKey sometimes replaces English words by Dutch ones which is pretty annoying. Gboard uses backspace to undo the correction so can you please implement this?
Please add this to Malayalam language
0 votos 1 comentario

Hi, Just wanted to say that it is next to impossible to type the word "trip" in Malayalam. It always add the word "drip" which is correctly translated as "ട്രിപ്പ്". The t sound is "റ്റ". The d sound is "ട". Similarly for the word "tree" it wrongly translates to "ട്രീ", which sounds like "dree". So for "trip", just replace "ട" to "റ്റ" and it will be perfect.

Replacing auto space after manual correction with punctuation Respondida
1 voto 1 comentario

Whenever I manually correct a misspelled word or use a suggested word from the strip, a space is automatically inserted. This is pretty annoying if you want to use a punctuation mark right after. Gboard replaces that space with a punctuation mark when you insert one. Can you guys implement that in swiftkey as well?
Emoji key disappearing Respondida
4 votos 10 comentarios

Hi all,For the last day or two the dedicated emoji button doesn't show on my keyboard, even though the option is turned on.

The only thing I can think of that might be related is that I've subscribed to the beta version of the Google app.

Keyboard theme is Carbon but switching doesn't seem to change anything.

Restarting helped but after a while it's missing again.

I'm using a Poco X3 Pro, running on MIUI 12.5.7.

Would really love the help.

Incognito mode
0 votos 1 comentario

I have just had to do a reset on my phone and after reinstalling Swiftkey it now changes to Incognto mode whenever I am in the app drawer. I can't read the incognito theme at all (whoever thought dark grey on a black background was a great idea should be shot), and as a result the keyboard becomes useless when trying to do an app search. How do I stop it from changing modes in the app drawer? It's not like I have to hide what's on there, it's not typing into a sensitive app, it's just the app listing for heaven's sake.

constantly hitting the send key, before im ready to send or enter the text
0 votos 1 comentario

i can't begin to estimate how many times I've accidentally hit the enter key and ended up sending incomplete sentences, because the enter key is right below the delete key, so every time i have to backspace there's a risk of accidently sending the text. you guys have to fix it, please give us more theme options, that has all other keys in the default layout but puts the enter key somewhere else, or even just add a option to require a prompt before entering the text, that way if i accidently hit the enter key, a prompt will come up, tap outside the box to cancel it out. I've already been looking for a alternative keyboard. because i can't take much more of this awful placement of the enter key
