Microsoft SwiftKey Android Support Forums

Since (unknown update), the gesture mode swipe down to hide does not work in 99% of the tries. The keyboard tries to do anything, but hiding, types the first key the finger touches the moment it hits the display, without even starting a gesture recognition, or does whatever.

Please fix this, it's really annoying, because the damn keyboard has no close/hide button. There are thousand of forms which does not trigger a close button, for example when you want to write a rating on the Play Store, and the damn SwiftKey is in the foreground, over the input test field.

Asked a friend to try, and for him it's broken too.

Buenas quisiera saber si se puede colocar un foto personal como tema...?

1. Fuzzy Chinese can't be turned off. I already turned off all the fuzzy options but still, when I type in jianpin, it turns into one fuzzy Chinese character. For example, if I type "gsm", it returns 干 instead of 干什么。

2. The input never learns new words. Same example as above, I've typed "gsm" so many times but it still doesn't remember what I what it to be.

3. A little improvement would be great : when I type one character, in the bar that I can choose characters from, there are only 4 choices in a row. It would be better if one single character can take less space and make more characters in a row.

I turned off autocorrect in English, but sometimes when I typed a word wrong and then delete part of it to correct it, then type another word, it autocorrects me into 2 words that it thinks the words should be .

Necesito bloquear el teclado numérico para trabajar más cómodo en Excel, como lo hago? Se puede?

When I want to correct something in the middle of a word I place the cursor on the spot (for example if I forgot an 'a' somewhere).

I then get a prediction, and when I press spacebar, only the part before the cursor is getting replaced. Not the part behind the cursor.

I find that really annoying. Samsung Keyboard replaces the whole word in that case. So I can type on.

Now I need to manually erase the part that is being left behind the cursor.

Is there a way to configure it the way Samsung keyboard handles it?

This happens random and seldomly, but it does.

Sometimes when I have the keyboard open, and switch to another app, the keyboard doesn't retract.

This has happened on WhatsApp and Chrome as well.

• Android 6.0.1 stock
• Swiftkey v6.5.6.22

When I first downloaded and installed this app I was able to select Spanish. However for totally unknown reasons my Samsung Android phone continually switch the keyboard back to Google. Now when I attempt to select Swiftkey I don't get any any option to select the Spanish keyboard. I have uninstalled and re-installed twice without success. There is no place for me to select the Spanish keyboard. This is lousy software totally lacking in logical intuition. I cannot imagine what kind of mentality wrote the code for this rubbish. . 

Arabic layout has too many buttons for smartphones, but it seems suitable for tablets, as i is almost identical to real physical Arabic keyboard, which makes sense, but buttons gets too crowded, small, hard to type,inaccurate and slow to type.

You can easily add another layout with one less character in each line, and make it as another Arabic layout, like name it "Smartphone Arabic" and he original one "Tablet Arabic"

I use 6.5.6.22 with ta/en keyboard but I see no tamil prediction for transliterated English input.

How to put up indian rupee symbol on keyboard?

Hey first of all this is the best keyboard available in the store. I have been using this since 2 years that's almost when I started using Android technology.
Now secondly, I have a suggestion for track button. It is very difficult to move the cursor by one or two character. And if the phone has small screen then it is quiet impossible to move the cursor by 1-2 characters. Recently while using an app known as "Mobile C" which have it's own keyboard, I came across a great feature of track button. This made it quite easy to move the cursor for short distance. It would be cool if you consider to add this feature in your product too. It's quite useful. Now I know that our keyboard has navigational buttons. But it makes the keyboard look big and occupy more than half of the screen. So please consider my suggestion.

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

Hi, I really love how SwiftKey works and learns personal words automatically from SMS/Gmail/Facebook etc.

It would be really nice if a whatsapp option is all so added in the *Learn From* section.

People nowadays rarely use sms and most of the communication happens through whatsapp.

Kindly message me if there is any workaround for that as well.

Thanks

Hello. Wouldn't it be nice if we could add our own emojis? It would be great if we could use a picture file and with the help of swiftkey make it as a standard little emoji.

Hi I'm just wondering if there's a way to make the flow line a bit smaller when typing with the flow.

Hi, it seems my keyboard will not open for some odd reason, I've rebooted my phone several times, and nothing seems to be working, I'm using the Google keyboard for the time being. Whenever I try opening the Swiftkey keyboard, nothing happens. I hope someone can help me with this, thanks!

Double taping space bar can make a period. Would it be possible to extend the feature, making it possible to choose a different command (we all have different communication techniques) like a dash (-) or with spaces ( - )... a + sign or whatever. Maybe a small point, but in the search (hunt) for faster and more intuitive typing happits, using a fragment of a second instead of 2 seconds, counts a lot in the long run :).

Hello,

I would like to ask you to make available a QWERTY layout for Portuguese with the letter Ç, just like there's a layout for spanish with Ñ. It's horrible having to long press C everytime we want to put an Ç. Ç is as important for portuguese just as ñ is to spanish. Please make it available.

Thank you,

I have a tablet that I use SwiftKey on, and just also installed it onto my new smartphone. I made sure backup & sync was enabled on the tablet, then signed into the same account on the phone and told it to sync, but my account data won't load.

I type a letter. Three words appear in the suggestion bar. I type another letter. Three new words appear in the suggestion bar. Sometimes the same word appears both times. In those cases, don't move the word from one position in the suggestion bar to another. If the same word(s) appear in consecutive suggestion sets, make them stationary. Sometimes, the eye sees the desired word in the suggestion bar but the finger types another letter and the word moves. When the finger goes to tap the word it has moved and the wrong word is typed. This is very annoying.

Hi All-

I've had my Swiftkey keyboard sizes set differently for landscape and portrait for years.

Portrait = Small and Landscape = Large

Swiftkey has always toggled between sizes when I rotated my phone.

All of a sudden, Swiftkey has stopped size swapping  when rotated,

on 2 different phones.  (Galaxy S6 and LG G6)

Forum search resulted in no matches for this issue.

Yes, my phone display  is set to "auto-rotate" and both the phone, and the Swiftkey rotates on my display.

But, Swiftkey simply has stopped changing keyboard sizes when rotated.

Please help.

Thanks in advance. 

For some reason some of the saved clipboard shortcuts are not transposing in Gmail. For instance, I set 1 to be a shortcut for my signature:

Vincent Costa
RE/MAX Competitive Edge
908-242-6782

Which worked perfectly here but in Gmail for some reason all it types is "2e". 2e. This is very recent. Within the past few days. I don't know why.

I'd love to have a question mark permanently instead of a dot, I swipe to access and I type a lot of 'ml' when I'm in a hurry. Please, I beg you. :)

Repro
- use SwiftKey as default keyboard on Android 7
- on board to company portal/Intune, which requires complex unlock/power on PIN
- keyboard blinks/flashes 2 seconds or so after being invoked to enter PIN (sometimes missing input)

Expected behavior: keyboard doesn't flash/blink or miss characters during PIN input

Is there any way to have $ symbol as primary instead of €??

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.

Hi i am using redmi note 3; from last two days in my swift key board it showing "unable to load lanaguage" on the top of the key. When i am click their it opens setting of language where i already updated my selected language, but still facing same issue.
So can any one please help me to solve it.
Thanks.

Greetings,

I've recently switched to Swiftkey because I'm having some problems with Gboard. The one major thing I miss from that, however, is its wonderfully simple and intuitive 'gesture delete' function. You should really, REALLY check it out to see why it's so much better than just pressing and holding the del key and hoping you can release it in time to avoid deleting more than you wanted to. This is particularly important on a system like Android that doesn't offer any ctrl-z type undo options. All you do is swipe left off the del key until the text you want to delete is highlighted, then release to perform the delete. If you swipe too far you just have to slide back towards the del key a bit first. Simple!

I also find it mightily frustrating that the last word entered by flow typing can't be deleted with a single tap on the del key. That's how every other 'swipe' type keyboard app I've tried works and it seems pretty obvious to me it's how it should be. I realize this has been asked before and rejected, but I'd urge you to reconsider and at least make it an option.
