We recently brought Cursor Control to your Microsoft SwiftKey Keyboard for Android. This much-requested feature had previously only ever been available on iOS.
If you haven't tried it out you can do so by tapping & holding your spacebar to move the cursor.
If you use multiple languages, cursor control will need to be turned on first; this setting can be found in your ‘Typing’ menu.
Make yourself heard!
We'd love to know what you think. This is YOUR opportunity to help us shape the future of Cursor Control, e.g. is it useful? Does it work as you expect? Could it be improved? Do you love/hate it?
Whatever your opinion, we will take all feedback seriously.

Deleted words keep coming back Répondu

When I do "remove prediction" on a word they SwiftKey has learned, I mean REALLY REALLY stop predicting that word. No matter how many times I type it like that, I always want SwiftKey to autocorrect it to the real word and never learn the wrong word again. (In fact, it would be great if SwiftKey could learn to predict phrases and NEVER learn mistyped words at all.) There isn't a setting for that that I'm missing, is there? -
[Feature Request] Swipe from top row to type numbers Répondu
0 votes
1 commentaire
It would be awesome if you could swipe up or down from the letters in the top row to type the numbers that we currently get from long-pressing those letters. I realize this might conflict with "swipe up to capitalize" or "swipe down to close keyboard", but perhaps the top row can be excluded from one of those gestures? Or a setting that allows the user to choose what swipe up/down does. The standard keyboard on iOS does these number gestures really well. On the iOS keyboard you swipe down from the top row letters go type the corresponding numbers. -

* Swiping left from delete button to delete specific part of a text. (also available on open board app)
*option to remove top bar, the bar above text correction words that includes clipboard, translation, gifs etc. should also be provided.

Make curly quotes default Répondu
0 votes
1 commentaire
Hi I just recently submitted a manuscript, and it turned out it had mix of curly and straight quotes. It seems even with a physical keyboard, if swiftkey was on, it would use straight quotes instead of curly ones. Can anyone let me know how to make them curly by default? I can't long press each time if I'm using a physical keyboard (or want to work fast!) Thank you all for your help! -

Banking app's login PIN is visible in prediction bar Répondu

I use Axis bank app on android. When I try to login with a PIN, it becomes visible in the prediction bar as I type. I didn't face this issue in Samsung keyboard. There a different numerical keyboard pop up whenever I try to enter a PIN. Please fix this issue. It is a serious security flaw. -
Disable spacebar while swyping
0 votes
3 commentaires
I find it very annoying that swype uses the spacebar. I will occasionally touch the spacebar while swyping a word and the keyboard splits the word into two incorrect words. If swyping would ignore the spacebar this likely wouldn't occur. Maybe it's just me but it happens all too often. The ability to customize the keyboard would be even better, having the ability to turn off keys that we don't use while swyping, for example the period and comma keys next to the spacebar. I'm always getting unwanted question marks and exclamation points also. -

How can I contact Swiftkey Keyboard Tech Support directly? Répondu
0 votes
1 commentaire
How can I contact Swiftkey Keyboard Tech Support directly? I have been asking for a button to force the Swiftkey Keyboard to display even when I'm using an external keyboard. My External Keyboard failed to work, and I basically had to wait forever for the Swiftkey Keyboard to display. A button in the Swiftkey Keyboard Toolbars that could have forced the virtual to open would have cut the wait to nearly nothing, and allowed me to continue my typing with no wait. Having this button in the toolbar would have allowed me to continue to type, or when the Virtual Keyboard fails to open on its own. Could be used to cause my device to display the Virtual Keyboard to display when an external Keyboard isn't working properly, or connected. Please place a floating Keyboard ICON on all screens,and in the Virtual Keyboards toolbar that often still displays even when the Virtual Keyboard doesn't for one, or more reasons!.!!! -
SwiftKey Symbols
0 votes
1 commentaire
I was hoping the “\“ symbol could swap locations with the "|" symbol, above the "R" key. I have never used "|", but often need the backslash key, "\", when searching Web addresses.
Or it could possibly be added to the "M" key as a second alternative to the the "/" key.

Word Prediction Continues To Offer Certain Words After Removal Répondu
0 votes
1 commentaire
I use the acronym "ASAP" in many of my texts, along with "ASAYC" and "ASAIC." When typing (in lower case) any of those acronyms, "asap," is the only one that doesn't pop up in all caps within at least 3 keystrokes. Instead, it only shows "asap" in the middle box, after I've entered "p." I've manually entered "ASAP" several times, and selected it from the prediction bar, attempting to "teach" SwiftKey. I've tried removing "asap" from predictions many times, but when I long-press on the prediction and tap OK to remove the prediction, it will not remove it, and "asap" stays in the middle box. "ASAYC" and "ASAIC" do not have the same issue, and will be predicted in all caps when typing in lower caps. Are there alternate methods to remove predictions other than long-pressing the word in question? -
Using Google speech to text Répondu

I can't use it. If I stop for a second it will stop recording and I get this pop up which won't go away off my screen whilst blocking the keyboard, for an unacceptable duration....further to that, sometimes the keyboard won't go away and I have to restart my phone so I can't even continue with typing... This is the popup: "Your audio will be sent to Google to provide speech recognition service. A transcript will be shared with this app"... Can you please inform Google of the situation because I don't know who to ask or where to send anything and this is their problem as we know... there was no issue in the fairly recent past. I really enjoy using SwiftKey and have for a long time I don't want to go away from it. But I will have no choice if this issue is not addressed by Google.. Thanks kindly note that I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling SwiftKey I have the latest version it doesn't change anything -

Haptic Feedback issue on Samsung phones Répondu
1 vote
8 commentaires
I just got my Samsung S21 Ultra and installed swift keyboard which is my all time favorite keyboard to use on both android and IOS , however I noticed an issue only related to Samsung phones which is the haptic feedback is not "Tight" as it should be , when I use Samsung keyboard it gives me a tighter haptic feedback which is fantastic and more precised , this issue has been there for years with Samsung phones and I really hate it ! it gives you an impression that the vibration motor is very cheap . before owning Samsung I had oneplus 8 pro and it was fantastic when you use the android default vibration with SwiftKey , on Samsung even I tried to reduce it to 5 ms but it didn't work as it should.
Appreciate if you can fix this issue

Why Is My Theme Changing By Itself Répondu

I'm using the latest stable version of the keyboard, I've noticed lately that my default theme is changing to a super dark one by itself. I currently have my default theme set to the 'Classic Light' one. I always thought that once a user set their preferred theme that it stayed that way until the user decided to change it to a different one -

Symbols layout not the same after phone reset Répondu

I have recently reset my phone, and before it was reset my swiftkey symbols layout had the "?" symbol above the delete button, the whole symbol layout was better, the I reset my phone login and sync swiftkey with my phone again and now the symbols layout is completely different, and the "?" is to the left of the delte button, and it's extremely annoying since I've been "hardcoded" to the other layout and now I can't use the symbols layout like it's learning a whole new keyboard... I have the same phone with the same settings and languages on it the only change is the reset of the phone -

Hello. I use SwiftKey since the begging and i have this issue only since one week. When i use words (in french) like "sur" or "que" or "qui" etc in the middle of a sentence, the automatic correction put a capital on the begging of the word. It write "Sur" instead of "sur" or "Que" instead of "que" on the middle of the sentence. This behavior is very new. what can i do? Thank you -
