I am using SwitfKey for a long time, but desperatly want to switch to mostly any other keyboard software, because since years, there are two catastrophic design flaws in the app, which could be solved in minutes of programming time:

1) The optional numeric bar just shows the numbers 1 to 0, and has no second layout... why! Every keyboard on this planet has easy access to ! for example on number key 1, but not SwiftKey

2) For Germany layout, it is catastrophic to access most important keys like ö ä ü ß in SwiftKey. For example: if you hold key u, the default selection is "<" instead of "ü" ... WHY!!! This is the most annoying thing for German customers.

Please change default selection for uoa to üöä.

Give easy and fast access to !?ß. The access through . is a mess and breaks usage flaw on normal keyboards.

Give option to manipulate the key layout and change keys you want to have.

It seems in earlier versions this was an easy thing to do .

But now...I just don´t know...how? (quite unbelievable I must say)

In older an older version of swiftkey I was able to change capitalization of the last word. Now pressing shift changes the capitalization of the next word. Since swiftkey is not very good in predicting capital letters in German I always have to manually select the last words again and then change it afterwards.

Is it possible to change that behavior?

I've run into a particularly annoying bug.

Let's say I have already:

One two three

And I select (highlight) three:

One two three

And then, with "three" still selected, I swipe the word "seven":

One two seven

The word is now correct but the word in the middle of the prediction panel is still "three". If I press space or type any other character it miscorrects "seven" back to "three":

One two three

This is particularly noticeable in Chrome. When I tap the URL bar while already on a page, whatever the current URL is will be pre-selected for me. So let's say I want to search for "happy cats". If I swipe "happy", I get "happy" but the middle suggestion is "I". So if I swipe or type "cats" next, it becomes: "I cats". In the past week I have run into this SO many times as it hijacks my attempts to Google in Chrome.

Much as some individuals may find the 'flow through space' feature useful, I find it is often an encumbrance.

When flowing words, especially those on the bottom row, any accidental overshoot downwards automatically inserts a space, forcing a correction. Is it possible to include a toggle to disable this feature?
Thanks.

Hi

I've been using SwiftKey for years now, and it has become more and more painful, to the point that I'm a meme to my friends now due to the way I type if I don't read twice before sending.

First, it looks like SwiftKey went from correcting my typos to considering that my typos are the way words are supposed to be written. So it corrects the right words into wrong.

Second, the French corrector is pretty broken to begin with, there are even tenses it don't know. So I have to manually rewrite verbs, even if I had them right the first time, because SwiftKey mess with it.

Last of all, since I switched to a new A5 2016 recently, the keyboard sometimes erases one to two words while I'm typing, for no reason.

I also have the "SwiftKey closing while I'm typing" problem I saw elsewhere, happens on Textra and Facebook Messenger.

I use the last beta of the app, with swift off because it made the keyboard even more laggy and unpredictable.

I wanted to change app, but yours is the best in terms of customization and key placement.

As you could have guessed I'm French. Strangely enough (?) I had absolutely no issue typing this message. Is French the problem? Or the way your app learnt me? Both?

Cheers.

Is there any way, like on the default iOS keyboard, to add a word, say "yt", which would automatically expand to YouTube?

How do I post regarding new features that are a must for me...
(and I guess for all)

Just recently my enter changed from being able to add a new line to sending the message. I really wish I could switch this back. If it's in the settings, I CANNOT find it.

I'm learning Chinese and Russian and was very happy with the SwiftKey keyboard on my Android phone as I could easily switch between the two keyboards and found them much easier to use than the native keyboard. However, since moving to an iPhone, I'm really disappointed to find that Chinese is not available in the iOS version of SwiftKey. Is there any reason for this?? Are the plans to enable it??

Many thanks for a Swift response. 

Anything that uses a full-stop is beyond annoying to input. I end up having to un-capitalize and remove spaces.  I can't be the only one. examples:

"e.g." becomes "E. g. "

"www." becomes "Www. "

etc.

Is there some way around this?

I realize that you want to try to keep everyone happy, but we should be able to use adult orientated gifs.  As an adult, I am fully capable of knowing when it's appropriate to use them and when it's not.  A toggle that is turned off by default, but to allow us to turn them on would be great.  Right now, I have to switch between keyboards to use them, which is obviously not the solution that I should have to use.  Especially with such a great tool as this is :).  

I'm running andriod 10 on a Pixel 3 and voice to text has become more and more erratic. It's always had seemingly random capitalization and now, as of the past few days, random punctuation. Getting to the point of being unusable? Anyone experiencing these problems?

Tried using the translator for days now and yet it say something went wrong, restarted my phone many time yet it's not working can you fix this issue please 

Trying to use the translator, I get a message that "Something went wrong. Restart the translator." I have such a problem only with mobile Internet

SOLUTION RESOLVED! SCROLL TO THE BOTTOM OF MY POST TO GET SOLUTION! 

So I just upgraded form. The Note 9 to the Note 10+ 5G today with T-Mobile and did smart switch and then enabled SwiftKey Keyboard and logged into my account for backup.

Then I noticed this dedicated bar all the way acrossed and below my Keyboard that has a dedicated minimize arrow button pointing down on the left side and a dedicated switching keyboard button on the right.

This was not on my previous phone which was a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 using SwiftKey Keyboard Beta. I don't like this as it is in the way from where I normally press my thumb for the spacebar as I want to press lower down at the bottom of my phones screen and also it makes the keyboard taller and obstructs more of the view on my screen when the keyboard is open. How do I remove this?

I am using Swiftkey Keyboard Beta and have tried looking in the settings and can find anything. Here is a attached picture of what I'm talking about. https://ibb.co/yqCsK1L

SOLUTION UPDATE:

Thanks to

Adem Sofilić

with the solution he posted below. This worked for me on my Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ 5G device running Android 10!

This issue is not related to SwiftKey Keyboard itself becausett rather a system feature. You beed tongo to your phones settings (Not the SwiftKey Settings.) so Settings> Display> Navigation bar> Toggle the switch to turn off "Show button to hide keyboard." and that removes the bar.

Also with that note SwiftKey SHOULD update their support notes saying that they do not have a dedicated minimize button and say that you can have a dedicated minimize button by doing the following steps to toggle the switch to on. 

Hi swiftKey developers! I am a regular user of your keyboard for Android. I am also an Android developer. In the process of writing one of my language learning application found you have a bug that affects my application. Namely keyboard switching by setImeHintLocales parameter is not supported (more detailed https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView#setImeHintLocales(android.os.LocaleList) ). The native Gboard keyboard supports this. Please make the appropriate changes. https://youtu.be/iR7mRzDq0zU 

Also there is a suggestion to you to make a method. A method that would tell the main application which layout the language has switched to, i.e. throw in the “en " code when the user switches to the English layout. Good luck!

Salve,
vorrei capire come memorizzare termini. In pratica la tastiera swiftkey non memorizza il termine <po'>, che in italiano è il troncamento di poco ed è un termine molto utilizzato. Nella lingua italiana <po> non esiste. Esiste <Po> maiscolo, cioè il fiume Po.
E' un problema che posso risolvere in autonomia?
Grazie

Hi,

Using Swiftkey in the iOS 13 Mail app with iPhone Xr, the keyboard now takes up so much screen space that there's not much room for editing the text! I've had to switch off the number row (which I really like) to save space, because the new iOS editing bar/row (whatever it's called), can't be hidden like it can with the native keyboard. Any ideas? Anyone agree this is an issue? 

Also, although I now only have Swiftkey enabled, so that there is no Globe/Global key at the bottom, there is still about 1cm of empty space on the screen between the bottom of the space bar and the home bar/line at the bottom of the screen. Is there any way this space could be reclaimed, I wonder?

Thanks for any ideas or comments.

iOS 13.2.2 but same issue since iOS 13

Ever since my XS max update to iOS 13, the keyboard default won't stay constant.  I've moved the top keyboard around within Settings General Keyboards, but SwiftKey at the top typically will not come up as default.  Worked fine prior to the iOS updates.  Not sure what to do.
