The best way to post a question

I would like to understand what the difference are between the Duo Themes and the other themes so that I might explain them. 

Surface Duo Adaptive

Surface Duo Light

Surface Duo Dark

Those vs each other And any of the other themes. What is duo specific about them? Are the other themes acceptable and on the Duo? I've used the other themes, but trying to understand.

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.

I love Swiftkey, but it doesn't work correctly in combination with an RDP client like Parallels Client. Whenever Swiftkey is enabled as the current input method in the Android settings, typing accented characters (and sometimes pressing backspace) doesn't work well in the Parallels Client. When using Gboard as my main keyboard, everything works fine, but with Swiftkey, characters are shown twice, lliikkee tthhiiss, and accented characters aren't working as it should when PC keyboard mode is enabled in Parallels Client. Could this be fixed?

It would be nice to be able to lock a resized keyboard from being in-resized. 

When I go to use Voice to Text from my SwiftKey Keyboard, the keyboard disappears and is no longer accessible.  Upon trying to pull up the keyboard again, it is not retrievable.  When reviewing the keyboard setting in the system settings, it shows that the On-screen keyboard has changed from SwiftKey to Gboard.  Help please?

This started happening after the Android 12 update. 

Hello,

I swear I posted this before, but can't find it - sorry for any duplicates.

When I'm in Messages and want to go to another app, the keyboard often won't minimize. It covers half the screen - home screen, camera, everything. Now, the only way I can get it to leave is by restarting my phone.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app but it didn't fix the problem.

Any suggestions?

just installed paid version on pixel 5A 5 G, Android 12 .  text to speech function will not work, whether engaged with or without Google text-to-speech engaged (stock keyboard disengaged). Other functions seem to be okay. text-to-speech function works fine with the stock keyboard.  All settings checked. Would greatly appreciate help/the fix. Thanks,

I used to be able to make it go away by hitting the mic button. Then i fussed around with a bunch of buttons and sometimes one would make it go, but I'm tired of this! Why is it taking over, and what can I do about it without restarting my phone every time?!

(I assume this is obvious, but below is a screen shot of my home screen with the unruly SwiftKey stubbornly refusing to eff off. )

Can I use Microsoft Speach Software for Voice to Text instead of Google Voice Search?

When using gboard - spellchecker works correctly and underlines misspelled words in both languages I have configured.  This used to work with Swiftkey as well - until the upgrade to Android 12.  Now it continues to work fine with gboard, but neither English nor Spanish misspelled words are underlined.  

There should be option to disable learning of the new words completely - like the perpetual incognito mode. Please add it.
