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.

Your responses will only be viewed by Microsoft. For details about how Flipgrid treats your data please refer to Flipgrid - Terms of Use.

Hello,
I have 2 phones, both set 3 languages: Japanese, English, Chinese.
The first phone is hTC One m9, the language sort is: Japanese, English, Chinese.
The second phone is hTC U12 life, the language sort is: English, Chinese, Japanese.When changing languages by swipe on space button, the sort is different on two phones. That makes me confused!
Is there sorting methods for us to set?

Random letters, spaces and gibberish words.
9 votos

In this post I'm going to leave in errors in quotations and some corrected words as parentheticals to show "t" what's going on. Reading this post will probably be about as "r" frustrating as it is typing it out. I'm pretty sure this issue started within the past week, "u it" (but) random letters "go Vila" words and "r flags t" (spaces) began to pop up when "r t" using the flow "y y toxin" (function) of the keyboard. Sometimes it will even put in random gibberish words, and "y hovering" (sometimes) I just "have to u" give up and manually touch type things in.
Anybody else having this issue? Any ideas how to fix it?
I'm currently using a galaxy S7 (not the edge version).

No Navigation Keys on Phone Number Keyboard Respondida
0 votos
1 comentario
When entering or editing phone numbers, SwiftKey opens an abbreviated keyboard with only digits and a few other keys (space, parentheses, some symbols, a backspace key, and an enter key), but there are no navigation keys (left and right arrows). These would be very useful when correcting numbers. Is there a way to add them? If not, please consider adding them in a future release.

Autocomplete Suggesting No Space Between Period and Next Word Respondida
0 votos
5 comentarios
I have been having the most bizarre issue as of lately. For some reason,when I type a period or other punctuation marks (with automatic spacing on) and the first word of the next sentence, it likes to autocorrect it to the period and the first word combined (without a space).And just as example,the period and the And without a space in the beginning of this sentence was caused by Swiftkey autocompleting that for me.It is super annoying as you can see.Any misstyping that is causing spaces to disappear are complete not intentional. Can anyone help? -

[Reported] SwiftKey Keyboard and Pixel 4 swipe to erase issues Planeada

Hi,
I love SwiftKey and I always disable Flow because I use the swipe right to left gesture to erase the last word, but on the Pixel 4 it's horribly broken and doesn't erase 90% of the time. Extremely frustrating.
Please fix it.
Demo is here: https://twitter.com/ArtemR/status/1187120650659323904?s=19
Thanks.

Voice typing problems with latest beta

14 comentarios
There's a new beta to the SwiftKey keyboard and they really messed up the voice typing functionality. The second you take a breath the recording of your voice and therefore the dictation stops. So when you're writing something you're constantly hitting the dictation button. We need to be able to set the length of delay before dictation stops or override whatever is making things stop. -

SwiftKey does not respect autocapitalize attribute in HTML input tag Respondida

SwiftKey does not automatically turn off the capitalization on HTML input tags which feature autocapitalize=off. That is very annoying, many web apps use this to prevent unwanted automatic capitalization on certain inputs. SwiftKey ignores this.
See https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2015/04/autocapitalize for details.

Changing languages while using a physical Bluetooth keyboard Respondida

I'm using a physical Bluetooth keyboard with my Galaxy Tab S7, and when I try to switch from English to Hebrew, it doesn't do anything, whether I press the globe icon or use the hot key. The on-screen keyboard will change, but the input from the physical keyboard will not. While using the native Samsung Keyboard, I don't have this problem. Any suggestions? -
How to disable simultaneous predictions in different languages.
0 votos
5 comentarios
Hi.
I work in the automotive industry (engineering) and I have to work mainly in three different languages: Spanish, Italian and Brazilian Portuguese, apart from English.The problem is that the first three are VERY SIMILAR (Romance languages, they come from Latin) and many times the language that SwiftKey detected that I am using IS NOT IN WHICH I AM WRITING (it happens to me generally with Spanish and Portuguese, per example IN is EN - Spanish- or EM - Portuguese).
Therefore, the question is, CAN I DISABLE THE AUTOMATIC LANGUAGE PREDICTION?
THAT IS TO SAY THAT SWITFKEY ME THE PREDICTIONS (AND LEARN) ONLY FOR THE LANGUAGE THAT I HAVE SELECTED ON THE BAR.
This leads me to another reasoning ... If SwiftKey misinterprets the language in which I write ... A new word for which language is saved? That is, full of errors the dictionary of a language.
Thank you very much.
