The best way to post a question

Hello guys. Please consider adding the WORKMAN keyboard layout. Its supported by most major desktop OSes but android is yet to catch up.Thank You

Salve,
vorrei capire come memorizzare termini. In pratica la tastiera swiftkey non memorizza il termine <po'>, che in italiano è il troncamento di poco ed è un termine molto utilizzato. Nella lingua italiana <po> non esiste. Esiste <Po> maiscolo, cioè il fiume Po.
E' un problema che posso risolvere in autonomia?
Grazie

I use SwiftKey on multiple phones. Same login / account.

They should all be able to add new clips but also have ability to SEE clips added from different phones (same SwiftKey user!) 

I'm speaking about - SYNC. 

Our clipboards clips AREN'T BACKED UP AND SYNCED.

I have so many of them set-up. Do u know how much TIME  I have spent setting Pinned clipboard clips and shortcuts up, just to lose them all? :(

Please, SwiftKey team, SYNC them.

Or at least, give option to export and import! (XML, TXT, whatever - as long as Import exists, too!) 

I lose so much of my hard work because you DON'T backup/sync clipboard content and pinned items and shortcuts ACROSS PHONES, when SwiftKey account is the same...

I once lost my phone and bought another, enabled SwiftKey and NONE OF MY CLIPS were saved. :((((Such a big disappointment! 

Please give this HIGH priority, PLEASE.

Kindest regards, Helen

PS. Do you, other fellow SwiftKey users, agree that there should be Backup & Sync (and/or Import / Export) of our Clipboard's clips?Pinned ones, especially! 

How can I stop unwanted comma's from cropping up? Also it causes the following word to be capitalised. I find it so annoying that I'm thinking about getting another keyboard. I've had this since it was a paid app, in fact I paid for dozens of keyboard looks before they just gave it away, free.

Hello there,

Add this function of cut copy paste and select-all by sliding the finger from numberkey to X, C, V and A respectively.

This would be really really helpful and would be the best update till date that saves a lot of time of the user.

Release the updates as soon as possible.

Thank you.

I've put up with the( long ago) change that removed capitalisation by swiping up and it irritated me enough to switch keyboards but I re installed on a new android device & want to know that SURELey this must be possible by now. HoW do I capitalise when I want t Oo('cause mostly I like it the MoSt) 

Since last two version whenever I type a colon the preceeding space is automatically removed. This is super annoying when typing smileys. If I deliberately type a space and then a colon I expect the space to stay. As you guys probably know, most apps don't convert ":)" into an emoji unless it's surrounded by spaces. As of know I have to manually go back and add a space before the colon after its typed.
I kindly ask you guys to revert this "feature".

Yesterday I upgraded a Huawei P30 Lite to the latest version available: Android 10, EMUI 10.0.0.197

Now whenever an app is open and I click the Home button to go to home screen, the keyboard appears. Clicking the Home button a second time when I'm at home screen makes the keyboard disappear.

Is there any settings on Android or in SwiftKey that I can adjust to make this super annoying bug go away?

I would prefer not to uninstall SwiftKey.

Would love the option to include a delete key on top of the present backspace key. A lot of efficiency gains could be had by allowing me to delete rather than having to tap and move precisely in order to use the backspace key.

Tldr: have the keys that allow me to delete going right or left.

It would be quite useful, if there were a way to search for emojis, when the Emoji button has been pressed.

It should be kind of like how Gboard does it, where you switch to Emoji mode and then you can search (eg. you type "cat" and see the cat emoji 🐈).

This is a feature request for the SwitfKey Android keyboard; I cannot use Swiftmoji, as it is english only and not available in Switzerland.

Hello!

I've always used the Samsung keyboard before, but it lagged a lot on my new phone, so I was told to try another keyboard. Swiftkey has solved my lagging problem, or at least I don't notice it as much, but instead I find that I'd like to customize my backspace button. When I hold down the key, it deletes entire words instead of just letters, which really gets on my nerves when I make a typo in longer words (I type in Finnish too). Additionally, I'd really like to rearrange the "symbols" page (the one that pops up when you press the 123 button), though I suppose I'll grow used to the new order of keys in time if rearranging them isn't possible. But is there a way to change settings for the backspace key?

Thank you!

Isn't there any language in SwitKey so that we type in english but appears in Hindi/Marathi i.e Indian language?

Hi Community, hie Swiftkey, hi Microsoft,

please add more Layouts in SwiftKey, i would like to have the NEO Layout (https://neo-layout.org/)

Just as Workman is optimized for US and UK, so NEO is designed for the German speaking/typing space.

The NEO layout currently contains 6 levels, with which almost all characters from mathematics, programming..... can be typed.

Hi Swiftkey team. I really like your keyboard and it's prediction system, but unfortunately can not use it because it does not have the most widely used in Lithuanian layout in Lithuania. It is QWERTY keyboard with Lithuanian symbols hidden number buttons:

1-ą;2-č;3-ę;4-ė;5-į;6-š;7-ų;8-ū; (9;0;- skipped) =-ž;

Would it be possible to include this layout to your App. Because I really want to use it but it is really uncomfortable with other keyboard.

Dear Swiftkey / Microsoft,

great that you have started to support alternative keyboards, such as Colemak and Dvorak. This is a feature request for linking your Microsoft Swiftkey to MSKLC, Microsoft's Keyboard Layout Creator, to allow users to make and use their own keyboards for use in Swiftkey, as we do in Windows.

As long as I've had Swiftkey, if I swipe the word "I'm" and type another word after it, about 85% of the time it'll change to "I" even with autocorrect off. Saw a post from 2017 with a dev saying they'd look into it, but I still have this issue. Any progress on fixing it?

Stop automatically adding spaces after puncuation.

Turn this into a user feature to add or not add..

I want to type URLs, IP address, etc. without having to backspace. I want to add my own space (when it is needed and only when it is needed).

Many Users are not able to efficiently use SwiftKey as tap-to-type due to the errors that occur when spaces are inserted or deleted after certain characters.

SwiftKey AI will add spaces even when settings for all options are turned off.

Certain characters require double spaces to be spaced, and 'period' character will have spaces inserted directly after. The frequency of key press affects the displayed result - and it is different each time.

Data fields without the correct meta-tag will result in SwiftKey behaving differently - cut and paste - may or may not add spaces after. URL may or may not add spaces.

Pressing 'period' 20 times at a rate of 1 per second will yield a different result to a rate of 3 per second.

The behavior can be seen when typing an ellipses "..." or open and closed bracket "[ ] " or open and closed braces "{}"
Textbox tags on sites with it enabled in the textbox will mean that the "@" character will cancel unwanted behavior, and also "#" hash tags.

The replication of the issue is most apparent for continuous key-press of the period key - as stated above - and shows a lack of set behavior for AI, due to the inconsistencies. Time between key-press for a single character "period" should not yield different results.

Just create a toggle to disable insertion or deletion of spaces after characters or words.

This has been an issue for years now, and has constantly been ignored.
My forum post from yesterday has been ignored and deleted. I cannot find any reference to a post or support ticket posted yesterday.

I have Swiftkey version 7.6.6.11

I have Twitter version 8.67.0-release 00

I have a Samsung S20 Ultra 5G (UK version) with Android 10

For some months now I am unable to use the Swiftkey board with Twitter.

As soon as I go to type the keyboard vanishes and does not come back.

How do I fix this please?

Keyboard would be much more usable if you could make the font on keyboard bigger without making the buttons bigger. Your button fonts could be 50% bigger without increasing button size and they would be much easier to read. You are wasting a bunch of space on your keyboard that is nearly useless. Just add a setting for font size to change the size of the characters without changing button size.

Keyboard covers what I'm typing on Instagram DM, it covers the input field, i have my navigation buttons on hide, when the navigation buttons are shown everything is ok

I am getting frequent (multiple times per day) where I am typing on swiftkey and I see the prediction forming, but no output in the actual text field I was typing in. Switching to any other keyboard and changing back (without typing anything in the other keyboard) restores functionality, but it's pretty annoying and it's getting more frequent.
