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.

How can I disable multilingual predictions? Répondu
25 votes

How can I disable the multilingual prediction feature (bug).
It is unwanted, uncalled fore, unnecessary, useless, counterproductive, counter-intuitive, and annoying.
Otherwise your app is awesome, until the next update (which hopefully will get rid of this feature) I will be switching to another keyboard, which is a shame.

[Feature Request] Remove the period next to the space bar
35 votes
38 commentaires
I have been using SwiftKey since I first switched to Android about five years ago I do believe the SwiftKey is the best keyboard for Android. One problem I always have had is I constantly go to hit the spacebar and I enter a "." {period} I believe it would be great if I could make the space bar either larger or remove the punctuation key next to the space bar all together. It seems no matter how hard I try if I am typing fast I can't seem to hit that space bar without hitting the period at least once every 25 words. It would be great if even there were certain skins that maybe changed the size of the space bar or remove certain keys. All the other keys I hit by mistake autocorrect takes care of. I still believe screen responsiveness is a lot better on iOS than Android so I don't believe this is really a SwiftKey issue or my typing but SwiftKey does help the shortcomings of this android app issue.

Voice to Text typing auto correct gone. Répondu
1 vote
6 commentaires
A few weeks ago, maybe a month, the voice to text feature for auto dictation changed. It used to have an autocorrect feature just like the SwiftKey one and it would also allow me to select sentences and predict what I meant to say by giving me different selections of the sentence when I tapped the underlined word. It was a wonderful feature. The voice command box was also white, which goes with the theme of my keyboard. Now it is nothing but a black box and when I try to go into the settings to turn this back on it doesn't do it anymore. I really miss the autocorrect features on The Voice to text. It was fantastic. How do I get it back? -
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. -
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. -

Make curly quotes default Répondu

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! -
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.

Haptic Feedback issue on Samsung phones Répondu

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

Suggestions and feedback from new user
1 vote
19 commentaires
I really appreciate details like adjusting sound and vibrate with really fine adjustment, which alternatives neglect.
Things I wish it had:
*hyphenation and colons, etc are added with a space making it difficult to add new hyphenated words.*backspace has to be held down to delete wrong words. I realize this preference may vary but I've gotten used to a backspace resulting in immediate deletion of entire wrong word, not only by a long press.
*wish the top and bottom bars were smaller
*wish the top bar had more suggestions and or scrolled right
*when the accent and unusual characters menu is disabled I wish holding down a key double long still offered the accent and unusual characters which turn out to be really hard to access unless it's enabled. Alternatively one could long press the number option for additional key maps.
Overall a great feeling and functioning, intuitive, fun keyboard comparable to an apple product and that is a high complement.

Custom Keyboard Layout Répondu

I switched over to SwiftKey since I could see my text boxes but I'm not use to the current layout of the keyboard. I prefer to have my symbols on the left and my numbers visible without tapping on their own tab. And I like to have my emoji tab right next to my space bar on the left and not have to hold down on enter/send to get them. And way to change that sorta thing on here?

Force Dark mode issues

Greetings, I am having a challenge with the legibility of some of the keys of my keyboard when I put on "force Dark mode" this is the only app that I have a problem with and I pray that you resolve it. The keys are the spacebar, backspace, enter, shift key, left, right and down arrow keys, the search icon in the top bar specifically. -

How can I contact Swiftkey Keyboard Tech Support directly? Répondu

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!.!!! -
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? -
Options missing Répondu
2 votes
4 commentaires
SwiftKey should give the option to disable two words on a single prediction box, as most of then don't make sense in my language (PTBR) and are very numerous and annoying to delete. The gesture/flow setting should have an option to disable both. There are some bugs in both normal and beta versions, like when I type "q" and for some unknown reason the prediction shows an "a" when it should show "que" (meaning "what" in my language). That problem stays even after I've deleted the prediction hundreds of times. It goes away for a time, but it comes back again. There should be a setting to save all my used words if I loose my account. From time to time the predictions show single consonants for no reason, like when I type "n" and it predicts and "n"... Which is useless for me because it's just a single letter. I delete these predictions, but they always come back sometime later. -

Hi all, Since updating to Android 10, a little gray area of about half a cm appeared under my keyboard. I'm using my Op6 with the gesture control, others control options don't have this problem. It has totally messed up my typing abilities, because every key is moved slightly up. Wondering if this could be fixed. Thanks :) -
