How do you make a line break

Where is the semicolon on the SwiftKey keyboard? I am a writer and it bugs me that I can't find it? 

Hi,

Swiftkey on my previous phone worked well but since switching to a new phone, brackets show up in the opposite direction when I try to type in RTL languages.
Furthermore, a space is automatically added after one type of bracket and deleted before the next which makes the whole affair even more complicated and prevents comfortable use of these languages.

Adding more languages without allowing them to be used properly is not beneficial.

An update restoring the original functionality would be appreciated.

Seriously considering a change of keyboard otherwise.

Thanks,

Inbar

After the latest update (7.6.6.11) the keys are squeezed together on the both sides of the screen. They are too narrow, too small and too close to each other which makes using the keyboard almost impossible. There is also no way to move or scale them horizontally.

It's unusable on my tablet

The keypress vibration for SwiftKey Beta 7.6.1.2 on my Samsung Galaxy S10 stopped working out of nowhere, and my phone doesn't vibrate when I press a key.

Here's what I tried:

* Enabling system vibration on the SwiftKey settings.

* Disabling system vibration and setting a custom vibration (my phone vibrates when setting the vibration duration slider, but not when pressing keys).

* Rebooting the phone.

* Clearing all cache and data from SwiftKey.

So far nothing worked, and my keyboard is vibrationless.

Can we have the option to adjust the characters BIGGER for ourselves? Changing the size only make it TALL, but not making the characters bigger as we want it. Thank you

Since the latest version the center number pad is missing and the keys seem smaller. Does anyone know how to find the previous version to download?

Support responded with generic, check the faq check the forum email so I'm not sure if they are aware or ignoring 

I use SwiftKey as the keyboard on my phone. It has the option to swipe when typing or to tap letters individually. It also has predictive text to finish half-typed words and to get suggestions for the next word in the sentence you're writing.

When I'm on the forums (mobile theme), when I'm typing a post using the swipe feature, it types double words, likelike thisthis. But it doesn't do that when I'm tapping individual letters or using predictive text to finish my words.

This doesn't happen on any other app or website. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this problem? Good

I've been a SwiftKey user since the very start of the app. I have used it in Android and iOS. One thing is missing: Why not let the user create their own theme? At least the ability to choose colors and fonts.
This would push your keyboard over the top!

Great product!

Brand new to SK! In fact, to my delight, I discovered it only 30 minutes ago! It works flawlessly on my iPhone.

However, at the shortest pause, the mic turns off on my Android tablet. Annoying. So, what am I missing?

I just switched to a Samsung s8 from an S5. I had 29 themes on the s5. Now on the installation of the s8 I have 14. Looks like the themes I purchased can't be found to download. Including Holo😯.

On the Max 10 pad the backspace key deletes entire sentences and paragraphs at random. This feature cannot be disable, please add an option to disable it or your keyboard is not usable

Me gustaría cambiar la fuente de las letras que tengo, me parecen muy aburridas.

I don't want any words suggestion. How can I stop words suggestion in swiftkey keyboard. 

If you check the reviews on the playstore many people who use the thumb layout are saying the last update makes it unusable. 

The space in the middle is now almost 75% of the keyboard

Please fix it or add the option for the old layout. 

You can't expect people to use this keyboard for years and then change the layout. 

About a week ago (about Sept. 25, 2020), my Google Voice Typing, which I use with SwiftKey (now owned by Microsoft), stopped working.   The microphone stayed on in listening mode for only about two to three seconds (depending on my device), unless I kept talking rapidly and unnaturally without any pauses, almost as though I were reading a book for one of those speeded up commercials.  If I paused at all, or stopped to think briefly, the microphone would shut off, and I'd have to tap it again to continue.  Sometimes it seems like it doesn't hear me at all after I tap 'Tap to start', or maybe just hears a few words, stops listening in the middle of a sentence, and then stops a few seconds afterwards, as though I had stopped speaking.  It never used to work like this… I was able to use it very efficiently to compose writings on Google Docs.  I would be able to pause from 5 to 10 seconds before continuing speaking.

I wonder if the speech buffer is filling up, and that's turning off the microphone, and then it stops a few seconds later because it's not hearing anything anymore.

This degradation happened about the same time on all my Android devices where I used Voice Typing.  I noticed that I was asked to agree to permissions again when this problem started, and the user interface also changed, so I think that this happened because of a faulty upgrade. 

I haven't yet found anyone else complaining about this happening recently.  I also wonder if it's some app I installed that uses the microphone, but I can't find anything so far. 

Any ideas…?  Thanks.  David

P.S.  I tried Voice Typing in Google Docs on my Chromebook laptop, and the microphone stays on for about 23 seconds after I stop talking.  This is how it should work on my Android devices, and pretty much how it used to work, although I'm not sure it stayed on quite that long.  I wish there were a setting on it so it would stay on indefinitely until you turned it off.

P.P.S.  I just replaced SwiftKey with Gboard on my Android tablet.  Now Google Voice Typing works just fine.  In fact, it appears to stay on for a very long time before turning off, just the way I would like it to act.  Strange that a Google update has just effectively destroyed one of Microsoft's SwiftKeys most attractive features…  Hopefully, it was just an unfortunate coincidence.

And too bad that Gboard is apparently not as good as SwiftKey.  I guess I'll find out...

I'm using Microsoft Swiftkey as my Japanese keyboard. Currently, the only way I've been able to pull up katakana and small characters is by typing it entirely in hiragana and hoping that it didn't decide to split the word (because then it won't correct it).

If there isn't a way to do this on Swiftkey, I'd appreciate suggestions for alternatives that do have these things. Thank you.
