For instance, maybe I prefer the $ to be associated with a long press on D instead of X.

I am a busy man, efficiency is key, but I've been using the default android keyboard since time immemorial. Stubborn to make its lackluster autocorrect system work for me. Swiftkey blows that out of the water BUT there's something seemingly easy to add but essential about the keyboard that's missing from Swiftkey and had saved me a ton of time in the Samsung keyboard. You guessed it, text shortcuts. They can help me write three letters that get replaced with a paragraph of text I'd pre-written and sent a thousand times. These are non negotiable to continue using your otherwise wonderful app and I'd be more than pleased to use it in the future should that feature be added

Thank you for your time

HELLO!

I got extra Keys for "Ä", "Ö", "Ü" , so those are no problem for me, but the german "ß" is so dumb!!

Everytime you wanna use it, you need to long press "S" and then move from the default "#" to the "ß".

Can you at least set up the "ß" as the deafault one? And not the Hashtag? This would make so much more sense. Caue its more often in use!

Its so dumb, that they dont fix easy things like that!

The keys on my iPhone 7 are a little to small compared against the original keyboard. And it makes me do a lot of more mistakes.

Hallo,
i use SwiftKey for years now and today i wanted to log me in in my SwiftKey account on my new Phone (galaxy s10+). I can only choose between Google and Microsoft. I tried it with Google because this is my Mail Adress which i used for my SwiftKey Account. When i click on Google there is a white loading page and it is loading and loading and nothing happens. I can log me in to my account on the SwiftKey Website. My password for my SwiftKey account is different to my googlemail account. Want can i do? Please help

So my problem is I'm using this keyboard with a language has special letters (á, é...). When I tap on a letter and keep my finger on it a little window will pop up above that letter with suggested characters. For example, if I hold down letter A it witt suggest these 2 characters : '@' and 'á'. The problem is I basivally want to use letter 'á' 98% of the time but the default first suggestion is the @ so it will take me another move with my finget zo reach the 'á' character. And this is super frustrating. If there is any option to switch these characters as default first suggestion it will be a big help.

I just switch from iOS SwiftKey to Android Switfkey and the keyboard is a bit different. Its smaller, which is okay... But the punctuation is different. On iOS when I would type "oh my gosh!" for example, the keyboard would revert back to the letters after I typed the "!" and pressed the spacebar. I can't find an option for this. Is there one? If not, PLEASE fix this! 

Another thing is the keys are in different places so I'm finding it hard to adapt. Adding a layout option for the keyboards would help. The bottom row of symbols has 8 symbols instead of the 5 I was used to. I am sure I will adjust, but it would be a nice feature for users who are switching keyboards.

Hi! I find the New square "full keyboard" button when in compact Mode bothering. I only use compact because I love to use my phone with one hand and with the button I keep making the keyboard complete all the time. Could you Make it optional in order to remove it? Thanks

Is there a way to completely disable the incognito mode of SwiftKey? It is extremely annoying and does not even know how to do voice to text and the layout and everything is drastically different. I end up having to get out of the application open up something like Microsoft Word, use SwiftKey to type what I wanr then do cut it and then paste it back into the original document because the incognito mode doesn't work very well.

Please tell me how to disable Incognito mode completely.

It's awesome to know that SwiftKey can switch to Incognito mode automatically in Chrome/Firefox incognito tabs. But there's an issue.

The keyboard theme/UI for the incognito mode, does not show Accented characters. This causes serious problems while typing or want to type fast.

Solution : 1. Implement the feature, to show all Accented characters, custom theme in incognito mode (just don't track the typing, and that's all).
2. Give option to turn off Auto incognito switching.

I'd hoped this issue would have been fixed by now but it appears that it's not a very popular problem, and so I've decided to take it upon myself to provide the correct information to get it looked at. I have found a few other forum posts with the exact same issue, so I hope this helps you all too.

Here is the required information;

• Huawei P20 Pro - EE network, UK
• Android 8.1.0: Huawei's EMUI build, version CLT-L09 8.1.0.159(C782)
• Swiftkey version: 7.2.1.17
• Steps to reproduce:
• When typing in the standard layout QWERTY keboard, if pressing the "123" key in the very bottom-left of the keyboard, immediately and swiftly followed by punctuation such as a question mark (on the symbol/number layout that appears), the keyboard acts as though the "enter" key in the very bottom-right of the symbol keyboard is pressed before the punctuation you selected, despite not pressing it at all. This means that a new line begins before your punctuation, and it shouldn't. For example, if attempting to quickly type the word "What?" on the keyboard, you will get this instead:
  
  What
  ?
  
  
• I have added a link below to a screen-recording of the issue. In the video, you will see the "?" and the "enter" keys both light up as though both are being pressed, however only the "?" is actually being pressed. What you should see is "What?", there should not be a new line added before the "?". This happens with other punctuation also, but as the "?" is the most frequently used, I thought I'd go with that for the video.

Importantly: This error does NOT happen if you restore the Swiftkey application to its original version via the Google Playstore. The issue only begins when updating the application, and so the bug must have inadvertently been included recently. I can't remember when the issue started, but it has been a few months and a handful of updates, and the issue still remains.

I hope this information is sufficient to locate and fix this bug, it's a real nut-ache for me as it happens 95% of the time I use punctuation after a word.

Would love to have an option for haptic feedback for SwiftKey iOS. I can't understand why they haven't added that yet, it seems really simple. I don't want to leave SwiftKey because of this, it's such a great keyboard.

I can't find any references to Undo keyboard shortcut. For example, to undo Delete or any other command. Am I looking in the wrong place or it doesn't exist at all?

اخواني لوحه المفاتيح العربي في جوال هونور ١٠ تكون الارقام عربيه وانا اريدها تكون انجليزي الارقام فقط دون الحاجه لتحويل اللغه هل من طريقه جربت كل شي مافاد

My brothers the Arabic keyboard in Honnor Mobile 10 The numbers are Arabic and I want them to be English only numbers without having to convert the language is it from the way I tried every thing

Just installed new update and the app constantly crashes. I had to disable the beta keyboard completely in order to use my phone.

I’ve used this keyboard on all of my devices, it is my go to keyboard. I recently changed from an android to an iPhone. It is my first time using an iPhone/IOS. SwiftKey is not allowing me the option to have accented characters or the option to add a number row. I was wondering if this is just the way it is with iOS ?

Hi all,

don't know if this has already been asked, cannot find it in the forum search. The thing is I'm an old guy, I've started chatting when we still had the BBSs and Internet was almost unknown. Because of that I hate all those damn emojis, all that bitmap wasting just to show stupid faces, and silly objects, and flags and who knows what other weird stuff. So, is there a way to quick access the text-only emoticons, ie, those you can type by just using brackets, two colon and the like :-) :-/ :-(

Previous versions, I could keep the Enter key pressed and at least a top row with a clock icon appeared, and from there I could see my last typed emoticons. Now, text emoticons are not under the clock anymore and the text emoticons tab :-) is just the last one, and it's very impractical to access it this way. Can the order of those tabs be changed? Could you bring the text emoticons back to the history tab?

Thanks in advance for the help.

it seems that the text based emojis [ :-) ;-) :-( etc] no longer show in the most recently used emoji list. is there an option to revert this back to previous behaviour?

How about gettin a button for the bitmoji app like the Google keyboard has?

The first three words in the predict bar.
I accidentally deleted one of them "the 😂 emoji"
And right now I need to get it back without losing any data.
Any solution? I really need it so bad!

Period is way way way too easy to press.

Hello!

I just started to use Swiftkey, and I love it, but the fact how the letters ß, ä, ö, and ü are handled when typing in German are a complete deal-breaker for me. It's such a simple thing, and I honestly don't understand why it's not implemented in a smart way.

In order to type an 'ä', you have to long press the letter 'a', then the '@' appears beneath your finger, and you have to move to the letter 'ä'. In German, the letter 'ä' is just a normal character, and it is used a lot more often than the letter '@', so it should be the other way round. After the long press, the 'ä' should automatically appear beneath your finger, so you just have to long press it, without the extra move.

The same thing applies to ß (after long pressing the 's', the ß should be standard, instead of the '#'), for o (where the 9 is standard instead of ö), and the 'ü' as well.

Gboard, and any other keyboard (to my knowledge) implement it in that way. So you just have to long press the u, in order to get a ü, and so on. It's fine if you have to move your finger for characters that you don't need that often, but ä, ü, ö and ß should be the first choice when long pressing.

Thanks,
Kristian

I really would like to not have to hit the number key to get special characters and numbers . On my android I could long press a key to get the character or had the option for a number row. In iOS, it's really a pain to have to leave the main keys to just get a character or number. Can you add a number row and make special characters accessible on the letter keys? Thank you

Please add the feature to turn off the old obsolete Keitai multiple tap input for Japanese and use Flick ONLY. Gboard allows you to do this. It is such a pain whenever you want to enter hiragana twice you have to wait and it ruins the flow. I've made so many mistakes because of this so I'm forced to use Gboard. But I'd really like it for SwiftKey to add this and it should be a really easy thing to implement

This has been asked for about a year ago, but I'll try again... I've enabled two languages in the SwiftKey (beta) app. My native tongue and English. Switching between the two is seamless, which I enjoy, but the app keeps capitalizing my I's in my mother tongue as well (where "i" is a standalone word that shouldn't be capitalized mid-sentence). It would be great if the app could for example look at the word before "i" and then suggest capitalizing only if the word is English.

For now I have to manually correct it, which takes a lot of time in the long run.

Hello everybody!

I'm having a big issue with SwiftKey on my HTC ONE M7 on Android 5.

The keyboard covers the input field in almost any messenger (WA, GG, TG,...) and makes it impossible to write.

The predictions are also not click-able. When I tap on one of the predictions, the keyboard disappears, as if I would tap on the Messengers window.

I have some Screenshots showing the bug but this forum doesn't seem to have an option to attach images. How can I post an image?

With this serious bug, SwiftKey is totally useless for me.
I can't see the text I'm writing.
I can't tap on the predictions.
The built-in HTC Sense Keyboard works just fine without this issue, so it has to be SwiftKey that's causing the bug.

Please resolve this issue as soon as possible. I can't live without SwiftKey!

Hi, is it possible to change languages manually? When I have two or more languages together (i have Czech, English and French) and use flow, the resulting words of the flow gesture tend to be wrong often (a lot). Even if i use only Czech and English which is necessary in my every day life it is not working well. I would appreciate manual language switching as was possible in the past. Also separate personal dictionaries would be implied.(added words)

I see so many requests to make the spacebar bigger to eliminate the problem with accidentally hitting the period but yet no response or fix from Swiftkey, so I thought I would add on a post.  I really want to love Swiftkey and keep switching back to it every couple of weeks but then that darn period problem annoys me so much that I end up quickly switching to another keyboard.  PLEASE FIX THIS!!

When I'm typing on another forum the keys have stopped working properly and even when I tap the prediction words it puts in other things. Often pressing spacebar pus in letters like T randomly. Just now trying to type T with a period after wouldn't let me.

It's seems most problematic on that site.
