Microsoft SwiftKey Android Support Forums

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,

Why this function disappeared from Swift Key ? Howo to personalize my keyboard ?

Hi,

when entering an email address with Swiftkey, there's the key with the @-sign to the right of the space bar. When doing a long press, it offers a list of domain names (for me "@yahoo.com", "@hotmail.com" and "@gmail.com") for quick fill. Is there any way to edit this list? I would love to add a few entries to this list.

Best regards,

Daniel

Hi there,

I'm somewhat new to SwiftKey, as I have used Swype in the past. Even after it has been discontinued, it stayed on my old phone until now. Now, with a new Galaxy S10 (running Android 9), I tried the newest version of SwiftKey from the Play Store, but I feel like I'm missing out on how to use/find basic features, so I have to ask for a little help. :)

So, what I'm looking for:

• How can I increase the number of word suggestions from my swiping? I type in different languages simultaneously, so having only three suggestions means that I have to delete the word that I just swiped and swipe it again if the word I intentioned wasn't suggested (as there are more words available that I could have meant). Having more options to choose from (by scrolling the suggestion/prediction bar), makes the workflow a lot better and quicker.
• How can I capitalize a word that I just typed, especially when it's not in the dictionary yet? Currently, I have to go the text, go delete the first character, use the shift key, type the first character again. Again, that's bad workflow, so I'm looking for the key/shortcut/gesture to just capitalize the current/last word.
• How can I extend the current word? Say, I want to write "SwiftKey" but the keyboard doesn't know the word yet. Right now, I have to swipe both words, resulting in "swift" and "key". Now I have to capitalize both words (or press the shift key beforehand), go back to the text, delete the space inbetween them, put the cursor at the end of the text and continue. Again, really bad workflow. How can I, after swiping "Swift" make sure that the word gets extended by the next word I swipe?
• Bonus question: Are there keyboard shortcuts for selecting the current word, all text (ctrl-a, basically) as well as copy, cut and paste or navigating through the text via cursors?

Thanks in advance for your help, everyone! :)

Edit: Uh, also: How to write German and English quotation marks instead of inch signs? How to write a long dash? (QWERTZ extended)

Hello all.

سبحان الله وبحمده

Thanks.

Bonjour,
Sous Android Pie version 9.1, le clavier SwiftKey ne semble pas utiliser le "dictionnaire personnel" définit dans :
paramètres/langue et saisie/avancée/dictionnaire personnel

Si des abréviations sont définies dans ce dictionnaire, ces abréviations sont proposées quand le raccourci est saisi avec le clavier "Gboard" mais pas avec le clavier "SwiftKey"

Pouvez-vous me dire pourquoi ? Est un bug ou une fonctionnalité non supportée ?

Merci pour votre aide

Clipboard shouldn't get auto erazed until I do it manually...
And kindly introduce command for easy copy/cut/paste such as windows command...

When I tried to move this app in external SD card it repeatedly shows the error swiftkey beta unfortunately stopped..
I uninstalled this app till next stable version release...
Please fix it as soon as possible..

My device is HTC running Android marshmallows.

I'm not able to switch from one language to the other, and you always do the auto correct in the wrong language when both languages are turned on.

Can you, or how can you Use Bold Lettering, ITALICS and Underline?

I have an important code I need and I accidentally deleted the copyed text, is there anyway to recover it?

With the new update, there is a blank space left of the keyboard.  How do I get my full keyboard back.

I've got a new phone and used the cloud backup feature to migrate Swiftkey to the new phone.

My stats have been copied over, but not my preferences, including the clipboard shortcuts.

Is there any way to fix this?

I'm moving from Android 7 to 8, using Google for the backup storage. 

Thanks.

I love the custom themes feature, but you need to be able to change the keypad to match. Right now the keys are just white and flat.

I have two languages enabled - Polish and English. But whenever I type an email in English (Gmail) even though it shows me suggested words in English, it highlights every word I type as incorrect, and if I actually do make a mistake and want to go back I can only delete the word or add it to dictionary, I can't correct it, even if I delete it to write it again it won't let me anyway because it will just highlight the next word and give me the two options again so I'd end up deleting the whole text, it's impossible to work like this, please help!

Hi there,
I wish to send a MMS image over SMS but I can't see a button to attach an image?

I can see the add gif and other buttons at the top of the keyboard but not the one I want??

Is this possible, am I just being silly and not seeing the button?

Thanks

Hi there.. I was wondering, what does 'location' option do? I tried selecting this option and it shows me this, "This location feature is not available in your region yet"..

Thanx..

Why is there now a large gap in the middle of my on screen keyboard? How can I change back to the original version?
~Thanks

My keyboard looks annoyingly different. And there's a mask embedded in the background. Was this an update? I've tried to reset it and looked in my themes but none of them exactly match the previous keyboard.

After todays update the typing vibration doesn't work. In settings "sound & vibration" it is activated. Only "standard android vibration" working. But I want to regulate the vibration by myself (e.g. 50 ms). 

Can anyone give me an advice?

My phone: 

Samsung Galaxy S7 (SM-G930F)

Android-Version: 7.0

Swiftkey-Version: 7.0.0.16

Whenever I am opening the app it is simply loading till the start up and gradually crashes automatically. This is happening right after my upgrade to Android Oreo from Android Nougat on my Note 8. Can anyone please assist me to get it working again?

Update: The app has been working smoothly once again upon a fresh installation. Thanks for the solution, Alpert : )

Hello, I'm sorry I don't know what the bar above the prediction bar is called, but I can't get it to display. It's the one with gifs, stickers, clipboard etc. I don't get the little plus on the top left to add it either. Thank you.

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