The language indicator text in the space bar has started showing only "en" when using English. It used to read "English" and still shows the correct full name of other languages I have loaded.
Predictive text adding extra words Respondida
1 voto 3 comentários

I thought the issue was with my old phone for a year, but then it persisted when I got a new phone and I realized after some tests that SwiftKey is the issue. It will happen several times a day now and is getting worse. If I intend to write "I see what you mean" and I press the predictive text for SEE, it sometimes will add a word and type "see that" which ends up with me sending "I see that what you mean" This is infuriating and constant. I will send a work text and say "The front gate is open" and it will end up being "the front door gate is an open" and I look like an idiot. None of these added words are visible in the prediction area at all while I am writing the message and I can't find anything online about it. Im only writing this because Id rather not leave SwiftKey and I hope there is some fix. I have autocorrect off so no words should change themselves at all.

Grammar errors in language pack Respondida
0 votos 3 comentários

Hello,

For Serbian language some really bad grammar was created. Any verb in future tense was incorrectly created. Example, to say "(I) will do", correct way to say it is "uradiću". However, there is quite common error made by people who weren't paying attention on primary school levels, where such persons write "uradi ću"

Unfortunately, your devs / employees taken for creating Serbian language pack were from this education group, creating the whole dictionary extra annoying. Whenever I have a new verb describing something I have to do, I'm forced to remove about 1-5 words from the dictionary.

Is there a way to handle this? I even paid for this product some time ago, when it wasn't owner by microsoft and offered absolutely free.

Cheers
Blank emoji screens in Wordscapes chat Respondida

When using in game chat in Wordscapes I have black screens for different emogi sets. Not always the same set of emojus missing (eg, tranport, sports, flags etc) which set is missing appears to be random but always at least one set of emojis is blank. I'm using a Samsung Note 20 Plus, latest OS.
Clipboard font changed color Respondida
-1 votos 1 comentário

I woke up with my fonts on my clipboard all a deep blue and I use a black background so it's really hard to read (OK I'm 🧓). Thing is that I can't find a way to change that font color so I can't change it back to white! The text pastes into documents and emails just fine in normal colors. I ASSUME I had my hands on the phone while asleep and we all know the nightmare that can cause!
Feedback/suggestions. Prediction dictionary. Respondida
0 votos 3 comentários

Would be great to be able to edit the prediction dictionary without making the trigger word be replaced every time the words similar. Particularly when it comes to emojis. Being able to add a trigger word (or start of word) that puts the emoji as a prediction. E.g., I'd put "hehe" to predict 😅. But at the moment if it's put in clipboard the word is replaced automatically. Overall I love swift key! Been using it for years with every new phone
REQUEST: Cursor Control be given its own button Respondida
0 votos 1 comentário

Cursor control is currently handled either by arrow keys or by holding the space bar and dragging. What if we could have a dedicated button or caret to accomplish the same function that is in the space bar? After all, the space bar is at the bottom of the screen so that moving the cursor down is all but impossible using that method.
Blank space before exclamation mark in Korean Respondida
0 votos 1 comentário

I have three languages installed, French and English on one keyboard layout (AZERTY) and Korean on its own keyboard layout. Recently I had to reinstall SwiftKey because after an update the emoji page was crashing. Since then, when I type some Korean words such as 안녕, SwiftKey automatically adds a blank space if I add an exclamation or interrogation mark, just like it would in French (only for some words): "안녕 !" instead of "안녕!". It turns out that if I disable French, this does not happen. What puzzles me is, for this to happen when I type English words makes sense to me as English and French share the same layout, but why does French interfere where I'm typing Korean words made of Korean characters with the Korean layout? Is there a way to fix this, even if I have to do it for each individual word? I'm using SwiftKey 7.7.7.7 on Android 11 (Google Pixel 4a 5G).

Spazio automatico indesiderato Respondida
1 voto 7 comentários

Lo spazio automatico dopo la correzione e dopo la punteggiatura è utike e comodo.

Tuttavia, ogni volta che scrivo "tu?" mi si inserisce automaticamente uno spazio fra il "tu" e il punto interrogativo, senza alcuna ragione.

Tra l'altro, cancellando sia spazio che punto interrogativo, e provando a smettere il punto di domanda, lo spazio ricompare all'infinito.

L'unico modo per toglierlo è tornare indietro e cancellare solo lo spazio.

C'è un modo per evitare che ciò accada?

Customize URL suffix list Respondida

Is it possible to customise the list of suffixes on the .com button? I live in the UK and would like to have .co.uk as an option in the list, maybe even the primary one, although I'd live with .com as the primary. This must be the same for most countries. Can it be changed? Thanks.
Key pop ups Respondida

Need to have key pop up much bigger and also maybe in contrasting colors. My thumbs are fat and like to press the wrong keys. It would make it much easier to see what letter I have pressed. Right now I can't even see the letter that pops up.
remove spaces at end of paragraph Respondida

When I press next paragraph on Android it will automatically delete all the spaces and some apps (reddit) will not put a new paragraph if there is no space at the end of a sentence. I have to press space 5 times so it doesn't delete all the spaces at the end of a paragraph.
Microsoft SwiftKey keyboard tool bar Respondida

Nice keyboard, but the 'menu bar (tool bar)' on the keyboard is 'vertical pop-up' it take little more space on the display. My suggestion is pls... make this menu bar like 'horizontal pop-up' like 'Gbourd' it is compact to us and it looks quite good on the keyboard. Pls fix it, instead it has very nice features.

How do you disable russian-ukrainian transliteration? Respondida
0 votos 1 comentário

I've looked at forums, support, feature requests but nothing works. I want to disable transliteration - predicting the act of vandalism against the language I am using, invented in Microsoft-owned (and ruined) SwiftKey. Problem: I type in Ukrainian "we", "ми". It immediately corrects Ukrainian word into Russian "мы" despite: A) letters being in absolutely different locations B) me typing in UKRAINIAN language, and not switching to Russian at any point C) me disabling this prediction many times already There are other similar predictions, but the case mentioned is the most frequent. What I want: an option not to predict words that have letters not found in the keyboard I'm using. To ONLY predict words from the SAME keyboard I am using. Hopefully, this is clear enough, as it wasn't clear for the last 3 years after the feature was requested. Maybe it was requested prior, but I found a long list of requests to disable this nonsense starting 3 years ago, which was "fixed" yet the option is missing for a lot of people, myself included.
Deleted words keep coming back Respondida
1 voto 3 comentários

When I do "remove prediction" on a word they SwiftKey has learned, I mean REALLY REALLY stop predicting that word. No matter how many times I type it like that, I always want SwiftKey to autocorrect it to the real word and never learn the wrong word again. (In fact, it would be great if SwiftKey could learn to predict phrases and NEVER learn mistyped words at all.) There isn't a setting for that that I'm missing, is there?
[Feature Request] Swipe from top row to type numbers Respondida
-1 votos 1 comentário

It would be awesome if you could swipe up or down from the letters in the top row to type the numbers that we currently get from long-pressing those letters. I realize this might conflict with "swipe up to capitalize" or "swipe down to close keyboard", but perhaps the top row can be excluded from one of those gestures? Or a setting that allows the user to choose what swipe up/down does. The standard keyboard on iOS does these number gestures really well. On the iOS keyboard you swipe down from the top row letters go type the corresponding numbers.
Thumb keyboard on foldables Respondida
0 votos 1 comentário

The thumb keyboard in swiftkey is a great feature, especially on foldables. I use it a lot but it needs the following improvements.

1. When switching between phone and tablet mode on a foldable, the keyboard does not change automatically between regular mode and thumb mode. This should happen automatically.

2. There should be an option to turn off the symbols and characters and only show the alphabets in the default theme.

Themes act up on my phone as seen from the video. Light theme appears black, some buttons like enter and shift does not show up in black themes.

Video link: https://upload.disroot.org/r/LeeD1aYP#2O5u9hMEGGLRVYl7kc/O+LKGslala7jRs6NotiiD3LI=

Feature suggestions:

*Button to easily swap between keyboard languages for text correction(available on open oars app, check it out)

* Swiping left from delete button to delete specific part of a text. (also available on open board app)

*option to remove top bar, the bar above text correction words that includes clipboard, translation, gifs etc. should also be provided.

Make curly quotes default Respondida

Hi I just recently submitted a manuscript, and it turned out it had mix of curly and straight quotes. It seems even with a physical keyboard, if swiftkey was on, it would use straight quotes instead of curly ones. Can anyone let me know how to make them curly by default? I can't long press each time if I'm using a physical keyboard (or want to work fast!) Thank you all for your help!
