In every single keyboard in the world, if you long press a letter, you get a variety of additional symbols and accented characters (according to language) at first position. The reason is obvious, you type more words than special symbols like brackets. In Czech language, almost every word has at least one accented character. With SwiftKey, where accented characters on second position after brackets etc, typing is even worse than with stock keyboard. I love many things of SwiftKey, but this is major issue while typing in language using diacritics.

This is example of text in Czech, it is about SwiftKey by the way:

SwiftKey je jedna z nejpoužívanějších virtuálních klávesnic ve smartphonech. Někteří výrobci, např. Huawei/Honor nebo Sony, ji dokonce do svých nadstaveb předinstalovávají jako primární klávesnici, ale stáhnout z marketu a instalovat na platformy Android a iOS ji může každý. Nově je androidová mutace SwiftKey zase o něco chytřejší. Microsoft jako její současný vlastník do ní přidal překladač v reálném čase.

You see how many diacritics is there? Can you imagine how insane it is to write this while every long tap option has a bracket or comma at first position?

I saw similar topics here with Hungarian user complaining and the topic was flagged "not planned". Why? This is not about improvement to be the best keyboard out there, this is more like issue to be fixed for SwifKey not to be the worst keyboard available.

Hi! I've been trying for days to find out how to contact someone in support but all their email ever does is send an autoreply that says they'll get back to you... which, they never do.  So much for that!!!

ANYWAY... I'm putting this here so that hopefully someone at SwiftKey Support will see this and get it to the right ears??

I love the fact that this keyboard allows for arrow keys BUT I HATE that they are at the BOTTOM of the keyboard! I am ALWAYS accidentally hitting them and moving my cursor around to places in my text where I don't want it to be!!  I would LIKE to be able to MOVE the arrow key row to the TOP of the keyboard, but there doesn't seem to be any way to do this in the keyboard configuration.

Would the Developers PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE offer this feature?!?!? Having the arrow keys stuck at the bottom of the keyboard and always accidentally hitting them is REALLY frustrating me to the point of I'm about to UNINSTALL.... :(

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

After update I can't select gif in WhatsApp anymore. When you select a gif nothing happens

I know it's been requested in the past, but we really need a favorites emoji tab. The recent emojis only holds about 28, so I can barely hang onto the ones I use regularly, if I happen to use any others. Suddenly I have to search through the countless other emojis, just to find the one I want. I've taken to regularly reorganizing my recently used, in the annoying and tedious task of reusing them all at once so they stay at the top of my recent list.

Please, I love SwiftKey, and just badly want this feature. Not having it is driving me nuts

Thank you

How to delete, once for ever, the line with suggestions over the line with numbers? I need Your help, because I have become well irritated with the line with suggesttions that is placed over the line of numbers. I never use these suggestions, they are extremely annoying and they cover very precious space that should be used for messages. Could anyone help me?

Hello,

I developing an android application and i have issues on some devices like Honor 10 Lite SDK 28 and Huawei P30 Lite ( sdk 28 )

The input field take focus and released it endless.

I saw this in the console.

The SwiftKey version is 7.3.0.21

What can i do ?

InputMethodService : onFinishInputView runHwTHPCommand error occured:java.lang.SecurityException: Package : com.touchtype.swiftkey,uid : 10113 does not have permission to access THP interfaces

1. On Android it seems to force a fullscreen keyboard in apps such as Whatsapp (making typing replies impossible) but not in others (such as Chrome) where context is less important.

How do you fix this bug?

2. On fullscreen keyboard in landscape mode, the keyboard won't stay where you want it and instead will only go to the far left or far right.

This only occurs in landscape and fullscreen.

Again, how can I disable this and have it where I have specified?

super disappointed by swiftkey swipe down to dismiss and left to clear word randomly stop working the only thing I can do to bring them back is to reboot phone.
this bug has been around for years shame on you swiftkey.

When making word suggestions, there are only ever 3 words to choose from.  I seem to remember Swype offered 5 or 6, but I can't remember how they did it.  Please add more choices.

Hi. Is there away I can keep the red line under spelling mistakes while using swiftkey? This works with the Samsung stock keyboard, but as soon as I change to swift these feature disappears.

I have a galaxy s9 on pie

Any help would be very much appreciated.

I have a Galaxy S10+ and more often than not when I'm trying to write something in an app or a webpage I'm left to "write in the dark" since the writing field stays behind the keyboard. I've tried fiddling around with different SwiftKey setting, resizing etc, but nothing helps so far..

I've never had this problem before today.

At the password entry page for my online banking website, the keyboard had previously hidden the predictive bar. However just a while ago in the same password page, the predictive text bar was not hidden and it was showing what I typed  .

Worse of all it was saving my password as an autocomplete option! 

The website address is correct and secure. Is this a bug that SwiftKey doesn't recognise the password entry page?

I've found several users that are complaining about this annoying useless feature, for a fair amount of time, and we are still stuck with it. Is the idea we uninstall SwiftKey? Or is this forum just a sandbox exclusive for the users, with no SwiftKey moderators!?

Gboard and the standard Samsung keyboard has had this feature for years now.
I've managed with having cursor keys at the bottom, but after Android and full screen gestures, my palms often presses those arrows and leads to misspellings.

I've swiped many miles through the years, and I hope I can go back to Swiftkey.....

Is it possible to request an RGB theme that changes colors and can be configured as desired? I think it would be a really cool feature and would really make the keyboard stand out compared to other keyboards. I've seen a few that have that feature and it looks amazing!

Please add functionality to auto space punctuation. Right now swiftkey mangles my typing in a way Swype never did. For example "Paul 's alter - ego used a bit. Lysine code." instead of "Paul's alter-ego used a bit.ly short code."

I got an Huawei Mate 9 Pro, and recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S9. I downloaded Swiftkey and logged in on my old account. But my stats and vocabulary is gone. Is there some way I can synchronize?

I am not happy with the create your own theme option. Only allowed to use a picture for a background is lame. We should be able to do a lot more than this.

I just installed the latest Windows update and got the impression that clipboard syncing would be working with Swiftkey beta on Android.  However, that does not appear to be the case.  Am I missing something, or is this feature still not available?

Also, the links to beta support forums in this article are not working.

Hello there, I am a fan of the new Arabic Layout, it is only one latter I think that should be moved.
In my opinion, the letter “و” should be moved, and placed between the letter “ز” and the letter “ة”
And put the letter “ؤ” instead of the letter “و” current place, the same way it is in PC layout.
Also the new layout have a glitch in this Tashkeel “ـ”, it is not continuous with the pervious letter, and need to change the layout to get it working
Good working in this layout 👍🏼 just those 2 points getting fixed, it will be the best Arabic Layout yet.
Thank you for your great offer 🌸🌸

Hi!
I have been using SwiftKey for several years and I really think it's the best way to improve your writing. But what, really frustrates me is the comma button, I accidentally press it over and over and over.... It makes me so angry. All I want is a setting to make the comma button optional! It's not rocket science and I truly can't understand why I have a comma button and a dot button which easily can be changed to a comma button.. From what I can see several others have the same problem and I believe you would help your community if you allow us to choose if we want a comma button or not. I for one hate it. But I love everything else about SwiftKey!

Please make a change!
Best regards,
Napoleon

I constantly miss the spacebar when typing and instead hit the v, b or n buttons.

Have you ever given any thought to an option to increase the height of the spacebar to 1.5x so it's a bigger landing pad for people's thumbs? I have the problem in both portrait and landscape, on my current phone (Galaxy S9) and my previous one as well (Galaxy S6 Edge).

After searching several forums, I don't think I'm alone - it would be a great feature for those of us who still thumb type!

Can you color the keys on the keyboard and have a theme when you customize your own?

Okay the question is this. when I move a file from the internal memory into the SD card most of the time it always says that a file with the same name already exists in the file. So my question is this. Do does files get in any way damaged if I do any of the 3 choices I get. Which are remand it, replace it or skip it.

Lately the keyboard is acting up very often. The following three things have been happening on and off during the last month.

It keeps closing and reopening as I type.

It changes to the regular keyboard making me choose SwiftKey after every word or two.

It is not smooth - after I begin typing a word it gives choices of another word but then resumes the current word.

Any ideas?

Hello guys, I have a problem with Swiftkey for android on a Galaxy S9. When I press the number key to look for the question mark or other symbols and then return to the main keyboard, it immediately starts a new line. It's very frustrating. Do you have a solution for this or any tip? Thank you :)

I have problems with the built-in search engine, Google and not Bing. There should be an option to choose the search engine that each one wants, before it was Bing and a moment for another step to Google.

I love swiftkey, I use it since it was an independent app and even paid for some themes; however it hasn't evolved as much as I think it should, for many years. The most annoying detail for me is the absence of angular quotations ("«" and "»") in the Spanish layout. These are the preferred quotation marks in Spanish writing, over "", which forces me to write incorrectly when on my phone. The thing is, even if this was added, it wouldn't be enough. I can think of tens of different key layout details that make my writing more uncomfortable or inefficient. Therefore, I wholeheartedly recommend you to allow users to design their own key layout with any unicode character they choose; you can get great community templates for free and we can get writing just as we like it.
Thank you for your time.

For users that switch between languages a lot with Google Voice Typing, there is a wide feeling that automatic language recognition doesn't work properly, as shown by these discussions:

1. Android Central: SwiftKeys and Google Voice Recognition
2. Stack Exchange: Disable Google Voice Typing Automatic Language Detection

For us, this makes Google Voice Typing unusable on Swiftkeys. We speak English, it types French or Spanish. We speak English, it types Spanish.

For this reason, many people are asking for a key on the keyboard to let us manually set the language. Because we change languages often, this needs to happen on the keyboard, not inside Google Voice Typing settings, which would not work anyway (every time we switch languages, we'd have to uninstall other languages).

This can be an Advanced Setting to "Add key to manually set input language". To be usable, this key should NOT give us a huge list of languages, but just our "favorite languages", which are the ones installed in Google Voice Typing.

Please note that the Google Voice Typing API allows the developer to do that:

• In Reverso, depending on the direction of the translation (e.g. English to Spanish), Google Voice Typing opens with the correct language pre-selected.
• There are some keyboards that use Google Voice Typing and let you set the language manually (one of several SpeechKeys).

I, for one, would be willing to pay for a keyboard that provided some advanced features to give us greater control.
