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.

Spaces Between Predicted Words and Punctuation Con risposta
1 voto
5 commenti
The past couple of days, SwiftKey has been adding a space after predicted words I've tapped on to use and has not deleted the space when I next type any punctuation like periods and commas, as it did in the past. This is utterly ridiculous and makes it hard to type! Also, somehow it turned on the option for a space after periods when I've had that off for all the many, many years I've used SwiftKey because it is aggravating trying to use ellipses and double spaces after periods. I turned in back off, but it is an additional bug that needs to be fixed. -

HOW TO BACKUP AND RESTORE ALL CLIPBOARD CREATED SHORTCUTS AND OVERVIEW IT AND EDIT IT IN A FILE? Con risposta

HOW TO BACKUP AND RESTORE ALL CLIPBOARD CREATED SHORTCUTS?
I want to create a backup file from all the created clipboard shortcuts.
AND OVERVIEW IT?
in my phone i can't organise the shortcuts, i can only create a lot and scroll through the created shortcuts and edit them when i can find them. But after making hundreds of shortcuts it is frustrating to lose an overview and not be able to organise them all on Alphabetical order and in a spreadsheet file or anything exportable to a cloud - document - excel conversion so i can keep the shortcuts and export the file to another device and use them all again on that device.
This could be handy for educational tool on schools and universities with standard shortcuts.
Also it would be great if the overview is possible in a spreadsheet so people can really learn the shortcuts and overview them, edit the ones they want to edit and restore the file to the device or devices.
AND EDIT IT IN A FILE?
Talking about a dowloadable file is the first thing we need to do if we think about shortcuts on keyboards.
Swiftkey would be the best app if it allows users to create a file and make them able to edit these shortcuts personal in an editor online or on a spreadsheet cloud environment.

Problems with toolbar when send messages
1 voto
6 commenti
When I try to send a message on WhatsApp, often when I click on send this causes the toolbar to close instead of sending the message, which needs a further click of the send icon to be sent. This is incredibly annoying for those situations where you text a lot of fast because it slows you down and hinders your writing and looking online I couldn't find anything about it. it is a problem that I carry around since the last days of my previous mobile (Huawei p20 lite) and now in the beginnings of the new one (xiaomi mi 11 lite). Has anyone had this problem? -

How to turn off SwiftKey when using Dex Keyboard? Con risposta

Hi guys,
Is there a way for SwiftKey not to start when the physical keyboard is a (Samsung) Dex keyboard? When I'm using this on my PC, the mobile device screen turns on and shows the swiftkey UI down the bottom of the phone. This is not the UX I'm looking for.
Anyone have any pointers?
Thanks!

SwiftKey should treat it as such and it current doesn't. Actually, after the last update the behavior of the Greek question mark has deteriorated and acts inconsistent in comparison to before the update.

Any way to make the autoselect prefer "I" instead of "u"?
0 voti
1 commento
All too often I reread my text to see that the letter "u" was placed where I definitely meant "I", which naturally changes the entire meaning of the sentence. I never use "u" as a diminutive of "you". I can long press it in my pr edict bar and tell it not to predict it again but that does nothing for single letters.
Is there any way to manually assign prediction priority so that "I" is always suggested before "u", no matter how precise my swiping may be?

Swiftkey no longer works with Hancom Office

Hi, I like using Swiftkey because of the ability to create long text shortcut keys which I use in customer support and because it is the only keyboard to somewhat support spell checking and preemptive text when using Samsung DeX.
It used to work great but recently I was using my word processor of choice, Hancom Office, and it is no longer working. It backspace and adds duplicate keys I reinstalled and it still isn't workingUsing Samsung Tab S8 Ultra and Book cover Keyboard Does not happen with on Screen Keyboard or any other app/In this example, I typed the following:The Quick Brown FoxJohn Doethe quick brown foxAnd this is what got printed on the screen in Hancom Office Word. It appears to be related to shifted characters.TheQuickBrownFoxFBQJohnDoeJ

When will support for folding devices be added to SwiftKey? Con risposta
1 voto
1 commento
As stated, when will support for folding devices be added to SwiftKey? I've been forced to switch to Gboard for the time being due to SwiftKey not being able to automatically switch layouts when my device (Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3) is opened or closed. Many other users of folding devices have had to do the same. I have been using SwiftKey for 15 years and far prefer it over Gboard just because of the swipe left to delete gesture implementation. This should be a priority feature request. I've already submitted two feature requests over the past months with no response whatsoever. This should be easy to implement and several people have already developed a work around using Tasker, SwiftKey, and SwiftKey Beta. -
Theme swiftkey Con risposta

1 commento
Hi, I've been a swiftkey user for over 4 years now. I love this keyboard, but recently I changed my smartphone and now I have a Samsung s21 fe, previously a Huawei. Huawei had a theme called huawei emui 9, which samsung doesn't have. My request would be: wouldn't it be possible to insert a theme like this? Not necessarily called huawei but with the same colors and key edges. I have a hard time getting used to the new theme, on the store they are all minimal and borderless, for over 4 years I have been using the theme with borders. The default white one is nice but doesn't come complete with borders. Type of enter key emoji etc. I hope that you will insert this theme soon, otherwise I will be forced to change keyboard, for example the gboard has the possibility to use the minimal keyboard or activate the borders. -
