Hello, I have the problem in google sheets for example that the toolbar isn't showing and icon to open it also is missing, so that I can't use the clipboard. I need to type anything, then exit the cell and go back to it to get it shown. On some forms, often passwords, it's impossible to get it shown on any way. Is there a fix for that? Or can you add a shortcut on the keyboard to open the taskbar? Thank you Device make and model: Xiaomi Mi 9 Device Android version: 11 Current SwiftKey version: 7.8.7.8 Steps to reproduce: Open Google Sheets and open any cell - keyboard opens but toolbar is missing when it's empty. Or Xing login password field.

When you copy something, GBoard automatically recognizes emails, phone numbers, pin codes and urls. It then create separate clips (one for the full text and one for each of the recognized elements inside it). It would be easy I guess to develop such a useful feature for SwiftKey. Also when taking a screenshot, the image is also automatically added to GBoard's clipboard ! You can then send the image in no more than a single click in your conversations. That's dope and to be honest that's the only thing I really miss from GBoard. I really recommend you try this feature by yourself and see how GBoard makes it work, it's kind of a state-of-the-art :) Thanks!

What does this setting "Show popup keys while typing on the keyboard" do?

Is it possible to set up an auto-replace entry?

How can I change the default gender of the text prediction emojis? I.e. The gender of the suggested emoji is always male, how do I change that to female?

I love that SwiftKey Beta finally have released Photo Themes, and given users a possibility to design your own custom theme!!!

BUT it needs the possibility to deside the COLOR OF THE FONT. Without it it's not very usefull. It would also be good if you add a way to determend how transparent the photo theme is.

Hi, is there a plan to add double PinYin for Chinese? Google Pinyin lack of functionality, China's local input app have a lot of privacy risks.

As the title suggests, there is a lack in foldable phone support in the sense that competing keyboards like gboard are able to accommodate. Switching to split keyboard once the device is open would make SwiftKey so much more convenient. Foldable markets are growing. Hopefully SwiftKey keeps up. 

As the title says, SwiftKey is probably the best keyboard on Android and the fact that it doesn't support one layout for a small screen and another layout for a bigger/main screen is jarring. There aren't really any good alternatives out there and the foldable part of the SwiftKey community would benefit greatly from this addition. Heck, even Microsoft with their Duo series should have already thought about this problem for their users.

So I am obviously from Hungary and try to use Hungarian spell correction and it is ok for 5 to 10 percent of the time. Mostly it corrects the word to a less likely useful or used word. It makes me confusing because MS Office Word has a fantastic Hungarian spell correction database which is also Microsoft so why they don't apply it or use it for this?

Thanks!

Dear developer.
My name is: Minh Duc
I'm in Vietnamese.
I have used alot of Swype keyboard. So I see that, there are some function called
1. Swipe from" 123" button to "A" button to select all text
2. Swipe from "123" button to "C" button to copy
3. Swipe from "123" button to "X" button to cut.
4. Swipe from "123" button to "V" button to Paste.
I think Swiftkey keyboard need Tobe add these functions to become more and more convenient.
Many thanks for developing.

So I switched to iPhone after 6 years using an android phone. I installed swiftkey on ios noticed that the ios swiftkey app is missing some mandatory (imo) features which are present in android version.

Features like resizing keyboard, long press for all symbols and numbers (numbers in first row, other symbols like ;()!%_= etc. underneath), a comma on the left side of space button, long press duration and many more

Why is it like this and are there any official statements on this one? I just love the android swiftkey and don’t like swiftkey at all on ios.

Thanks

On my Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE, Thumb Mode only works in portrait mode. It would be great if thumb mode was also available for landscape mode as well. The only modes other than the full width that works is one handed mode and float mode.

Hi,

I've been using Swiftkey for many years, I really love this keyboard and features. I recently switched to a galaxy fold, and can't match the keyboard to a foldable use case.

Swiftkey has a one-handed layout, which is perfect for the main screen where I can't use swiping in any comfortable and precise way with the normal all-screen layout.

The problem is that if I set it to one handed layout, for some reason the keyboard on the external narrow screen is also narrower, even though simple logic dictates that the very narrow external display is already one-handed and shouldn't be resized.

I can't find any setting to disable this, I have to change the layout setting every time I switch displays which is stupidly annoying and making this keyboard useless on foldables.

Even the split ("thumb") layout follows to the external display, which is even stupider.

Samsung keyboard already has this obvious feature, there are settings to configure default layouts for main display and external display, the external one even has different settings for portrait and landscape modes.

Is there any way to force the keyboard to stay on full layout on the external display and one-handed layout on the main display? Or do I have to abandon Swiftkey for Samsung keyboard?

Thanks
