SwiftKey Q&A: Week 1 - Cursor Control Mostrato in alto In evidenza
-1 voti 16 commenti

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.

Keyboard filled with garbage words
0 voti 1 commento

My user dictionary is getting filled with tons of off-by-on-letter garbage words automatically. Whenever I type with swift key, it often autocorrects to a misspelled word. Seems it learns to get worse over time rather than better I'm going to throw away my user dictionary and start from scratch. Before I do that, did you guys want to look at it first?

More personalization of the keyboard
0 voti 1 commento

I like they add more options to customize the keyboard in as the custom theme as SwiftKey themes, like the key borders, we can't change the size, the color, the bright of this color, the text type and text size (comment if you want to share more options you'll like to have on the SwiftKey). I guess it will improves the rate of that keyboard (mainly the key borders option from the default keyboard themes already is on the gboard)
Disable flow AND gesture.
25 voti 29 commenti

Could it be possible to add a option to disable gesture input altogether?
I do not like using flow as it makes me type slower, so I put it in gesture and because of that, sometimes deletes words or lowers the keyboard which is very annoying.
I am just wanting you to add a option to disable it entirely. I know I would use it, and there has someone else out there too!

Always replace one word with another?
0 voti 3 commenti

I constantly find myself "fat-fingering" the keyboard and typing "fir" when I meant to type "for".

I am hardly ever talking about evergreen coniferous trees in the family Pinaceae.

Can Swiftkey be configured to replace "fir" with "for" the next time I type it by mistake?
Anzeigefehler der Tastatur bei Android Funktion "Dark Mode erzwingen"
0 voti 1 commento

Hallo,

ich habe seit einiger Zeit schon das Problem bei Swiftkey, dass das Theme von der Tastatur nicht ordnungsgemäß angezeigt wird, wenn ich die Android Funktion "Dark Mode erzwingen" in den Entwickleroptionen aktiviert habe.

Das sieht dann so bei mir aus:

Ich habe das Theme Dark Mode bei Swiftkey aktiviert, die App macht durch die Android Funktion "Dark Mode erzwingen", das Theme wieder weiß.

Das passiert leider so gut wie bei allen Themen die ich auswähle.

Ich benutze ein Samsung Galaxy S21+ mit Android 12.

Folgende Handy Einstellung verursacht diesen Fehler bei Swiftkey:

Gibt es dazu bereits eine Lösung oder ähnliches?

Über eine Rückmeldung würde ich mich freuen.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Sami
[Bug] SwiftKey Beta constantly crashing after new update

SwiftKey Beta got an update recently and a new feature is added which you can now swipe on the delete key to select and delete text. But problem is everytime I try to use the feature it immediately crashes. I managed it work few times but other of that it crashes as soon as the feature activates.

You must integrate this keyboard with the "Wordtune" application. It's inefficient without it.

Stop period/dot from forcing a space after it
35 voti 34 commenti

Currently using latest beta. I am a technical / computer person and therefore my writing vocabulary often includes things with period/dots in them that are not words (i.e. e.g. 192.168.1.1 www.vcu.edu and so-on). The constant forced auto-insertion of a space when I am trying to use a period as a dot, not as punctuation, is driving me crazy and often forces mangled/incorrect emails, texts, etc. I thought turning on the option to insert a period by double-tapping the space bar would turn that off - it did not.

I seem to recall in a previous version of Swiftkey there was the ability to turn off the dot/period from forcing a space after it.

I think when I tried another keyboard (GBoard?) it did not do that. However, I am used to the way Swiftkey works and would hate to switch to something else....
For quite a while using voice to text with the keyboard always leaves the screen on / open, does not allow screen to turn itself off

Long-time user of SwiftKey and part of the beta launch etc etc, for a long time now possibly 6 months + when I use voice to text along with the SwiftKey keyboard, the voice-to-text part stays on and the screen doesn't turn off on its own
SPACE AFTER PERIOD ISSUE {and after ')' too
0 voti 1 commento

Is there a way to stop the automatic space after a period? This has been a problem for many people and is seemingly ignored by developers. Automatically adding a space after periods is fine but not after dots, unfortunately they use the same key. Also, after the right parentheses is an issue, it's not hard to tap after these characters, IL why can't it be included in the Swift Key Options? The ability to disable automatic period after a double space is an option, so I don't understand why the other similar issue can't be easily resolved. When I text, I always remove the additional '.' as no not transmit the extra Byte of data (a personal anal pet peeve, but if you think about it, that adds up and could be somewhat significant.
Voice to Text Deletes SwiftKey Keyboard Preference
4 voti 6 commenti

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.
SPACE AFTER PERIOD ISSUE
9 voti 14 commenti

Is there a way to stop the automatic space after a period?

Most of my typing is in regards to IP addresses, email address and the like.

Most of the time I do not want a space following the period. Perhaps an option in the settings area would help.
