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.

Your responses will only be viewed by Microsoft. For details about how Flipgrid treats your data please refer to Flipgrid - Terms of Use.

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? -

Greek question mark

When writing I Greek the question mark character is this - > ;
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
The quick brown fox
Thanks

Bullet, checkmark characters?
2 voti
5 commenti
Won't you please include the bullet ( • ) and checkmark ( ✓ ) characters, so useful for lists of items and tasks? You could easily add them as alternate long-press symbols. It's the only thing preventing me from switching from GBoard to SwiftKey. I've asked for this for a couple of years now on Play Store, but maybe you don't read those comments…? Thanks!

How do I contact app account support? I tried the website but there was no response! I no longer have access to the Google account I used to log in to the app, only the account ID. I've submitted a request through this link (https://support.swiftkey.com/hc/en-us/requests/new) many times but haven't not received any response... It's been many days I've been using the keyboard for years, before being from Microsoft! I have a lot of important data saved! He's already family! 😭 -
Disable flow AND gesture.
26 voti

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!- Joe

Predictions Capitalized in middle of sentence
1 voto
1 commento
Many of my words are predicted in a capitalized form, even in the middle of a sentence. It seems like I get the capitalized form more often than lowercase, making the prediction nearly useless. I keep removing these words but it keeps happening. There's got to be some way to get the app to only show capitalized words at the beginning of a sentence or when typed that way much more often than in lowercase. Or when typed in all-caps repeatedly. Or baring that, just only predict lowercase words. Because those are used far more often, most words are NOT at the beginning of a sentence.. This is an extremely annoying and time wasting problem. -
Doesn't anyone monitor the feedback ???

I am not sure if I can hold off much longer waiting for an update response a hello a sorry its taken us a month or so to get back to you but our support team consists of one person who has to have the Barbados tan.
So this post is going to be waiting for more than three days as my last new post from three days is still pending approval and review in Google Play Store is now three weeks in and absolutely ZERO response.
Why should anyone bother to install the beta version of anyone or any organisation without the user's who will be testing out free of charge and its costing me time and loss of income messaging a support service which isn't doing much in the way of due diligence.
In less than a year I have gone from loving the SwiftKey to actually now beginning to loathe the very idea of what you used to stand for since new staff arrived old staff left its been a shambolic comedy night out at Freddie's favourite murdering big mac in Bollywood.
And if anyone is interested can you get Hari Kyasa (SwiftKey) to actually reply and let me know if I should stop clearing my cache app data reset android settings jiggle the sync toggle restart and turn on and off and on the option to sync with the other devices as Windows desktop doesn't sync Huawei doesn't sync and neither does Samsung and let me remind you of the fact that you last emailed m 10/01/2022 and you have yet to advise further and should I put a reminder in my calendar 10/01/2023 12.55pm to get a response from you.
Or should I uninstall and pop in to the trash !!!!!!!!!!!!

Feature Request: Shifted Number row should show symbols like standard keyboard
2 voti
2 commenti
The number row is a good addition to keep up with gboard, but we really really really need it to respond to shift and provide access to the same symbols that are on a standard QWERTY keyboard like gboard already does.
This and no gesture spacebar for cursor navigation is a major time waster with Swiftkey that prevents me from using it on a day to day basis.

Predictions in WordReference App

SwiftKey doesn't show word prediction when using the WordReference app, although when I switch to Google keyboard, it shows me predictions inside the app. Hope predictions can be added to WordReference, which is a dictionary app that I happen to use a lot. -
[ASK] Disable Fullscreen keyboard when landscape
6 voti
16 commenti
Hello, just the title said...
I have some questions,
How to disable fullscreen mode while my phone in landscape mode..I asked the same question in SwiftKey feedback @playstore but no response yet..
I hope I can get the answers here..
One more thing, I just updated the app from playstore, and I get something (bug maybe) while I write this question, I just get something strange..
Everytime I write letter "i" the AI will convert to capital "I"
That's normal, but in my case the letter "i" is concatenated with "I" and I got "iI". That's strange..And everytime I try to delete the "iI" to manually capitalize it, the capital "I" shows up from nowhere to the next of cursor location.
And it happened not only for the "i" letter but almost of all words that uses autocorrect function.
I hope you can understand what I mean.
Sorry for my bad English.. -

[Feature Request] Turn of auto-space after prediction
4 voti
2 commenti
Dear guys of Swiftkey,
please...Please just be considerable of what so many people want from you since over 2 years now - just do us all the kind favour and implement this feature that can' t be so hard to implement developerwise... Just implement an easy option to shut off this autospaces that are annoying for soo many people and it' s what so many people want.
Don' t you just realize, that this is a really major request? You should also consider that really many people must be annoyed by this feature missing, who each day loose their nerves and useful time backspacing this additional spaces and just don' t want to take this efford to find out how to contact you and to write you such a message like us in this forum... Don' t you think they do just find this a pity that this small missing annoying feature is putting your for the rest perfectly customizable and greatly working virtual keyboard tool into a bad light just for such a small additional efford from your side?
I just don' t want to sound rude to you at all, and ask you politely to implement this feature. It' s about time this issue will be fixed. It should be also in your interest to improve your great app further somehow...
Kind Regards
Riccardo Pierucci
P. S. : Please don' t consider this as a double post - I wrote a similiar comment into another Thread about the same issue - where there where so many people asking you for this feature implementation, that they filled out 4 long forum pages with this request to you asking you for this since whole two years.
