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.

Please add this to Malayalam language
0 votos
1 comentário
Hi, Just wanted to say that it is next to impossible to type the word "trip" in Malayalam. It always add the word "drip" which is correctly translated as "ട്രിപ്പ്". The t sound is "റ്റ". The d sound is "ട". Similarly for the word "tree" it wrongly translates to "ട്രീ", which sounds like "dree". So for "trip", just replace "ട" to "റ്റ" and it will be perfect. -
Replacing auto space after manual correction with punctuation
1 voto
1 comentário
Whenever I manually correct a misspelled word or use a suggested word from the strip, a space is automatically inserted. This is pretty annoying if you want to use a punctuation mark right after. Gboard replaces that space with a punctuation mark when you insert one. Can you guys implement that in swiftkey as well? -
Emoji key disappearing

Hi all,For the last day or two the dedicated emoji button doesn't show on my keyboard, even though the option is turned on.The only thing I can think of that might be related is that I've subscribed to the beta version of the Google app.Keyboard theme is Carbon but switching doesn't seem to change anything.Restarting helped but after a while it's missing again.I'm using a Poco X3 Pro, running on MIUI 12.5.7.Would really love the help. -

Incognito mode
0 votos
1 comentário
I have just had to do a reset on my phone and after reinstalling Swiftkey it now changes to Incognto mode whenever I am in the app drawer. I can't read the incognito theme at all (whoever thought dark grey on a black background was a great idea should be shot), and as a result the keyboard becomes useless when trying to do an app search. How do I stop it from changing modes in the app drawer? It's not like I have to hide what's on there, it's not typing into a sensitive app, it's just the app listing for heaven's sake.

constantly hitting the send key, before im ready to send or enter the text
0 votos
1 comentário
i can't begin to estimate how many times I've accidentally hit the enter key and ended up sending incomplete sentences, because the enter key is right below the delete key, so every time i have to backspace there's a risk of accidently sending the text. you guys have to fix it, please give us more theme options, that has all other keys in the default layout but puts the enter key somewhere else, or even just add a option to require a prompt before entering the text, that way if i accidently hit the enter key, a prompt will come up, tap outside the box to cancel it out. I've already been looking for a alternative keyboard. because i can't take much more of this awful placement of the enter key -

SwiftKey acts as dumb keyboard in some cases.
0 votos
1 comentário
Been using SwiftKey for a decade or so, but only recently, on my galaxy s20 fe, it sometimes won't show corrections, or provide any advanced functions at all. Which means I can't use macros, and spend more time correcting mistakes than typing effectively. So is there a way to force proper functionality on the fly? I'm using version 8.10.11.3 -

Chinese Keyboard

I switched from Gboard for two reasons:
1. I'm a Microsoft person.
2. Gboard's lag was killing me.
However, you guy seriously need to improve your Chinese keyboard. Mainly because it's hard to type actual names since I don't remember every single character. -

New clip does not show in keyboard suggestion if same text already exist in clipboard history
0 votos
1 comentário
When you copy a text from somewhere, the copied text appear as a suggestion in the keboard. This is very nice and convenient. But if the text you just copied already exist in the clipboard history, it does not show on the keyboard, and you have to go into the clipboard history to find the text you are interrested in.
It would be much better if you copy a text, this text will show on the keyboard even if it does not cause a new endtry in the clipboard history (preferably also that the newly copied text is moved to top in the history).

The keyboard disappears.

Hi. I have a problem with SwiftKey installed on both my Samsung A52 and my tablet, Samsung.
When I start to print text, the first letter makes the keyboard shut down.
When I'm trying it for the second time, it works.
Could this be a bug in the system?
Has anyone experienced the same problem?

Unanswered numbers only keypad request
0 votos
1 comentário
So, I see that some years ago this questions has been asked but not answered properly, and that happened more than once. I would like to have a numbers only keypad, and I don't seem to find and option for that with swiftkeys. Depending on where I'm typing (which app I'm using), I get numbers only or I get numbers and other keys. I would like the number keypad to look like this, but I only get that with one app.

Bullet, checkmark characters?
1 voto
3 comentários
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!

Swiping consistently gets wrong which language I'm trying to use
0 votos
3 comentários
I'm always switching between Dutch and English depending on who I'm talking to. I want to use swipe but it frequently gives me English words in my Dutch sentences and Dutch words in my English sentences. I spend a lot of time correcting because the swipe never knows which language I'm trying to use.
1. Please separate Dutch and English keyboards.
2. Please make it so the swipe method only outputs a single language at a time (corresponding to whichever keyboard that's in use)

Please create dual layout for folding phones

Hello,
I see several people complaining about lack of dual layouts for folding phones. Most of us use split keyboard for. Inner wider screen and regular for outer screens... We have to use regular Samsung keyboard since it recognizes the screen is open and changes keyboard layout.
Please have a feature where SwiftKey recognizes the screen is open and automatically changes to a second Layout!
