Twice in the past day or so, Swiftkey has suddenly minimized to just the predictions, the keyboard presumably off the bottom of the screen.

One time, I reset the phone, and that restored it. I wouldn't be here posting, but just a few minutes ago it happened again. This time I disabled and re-enabled Swiftkey and that fixed it...but if this keeps happening, I obviously will not find it worth having to do that each time.

I don't know how to reproduce this, per se. When it happens, it is that way in all apps. Both times it was initially in the AT&T default texting app, but that's probably coincidence, because it's what I use most.

The space key takes up the space of ➍ keys but has zero functions except, ugh, space and the language switch button which doesn't seem necessary nowadays when the keyboard works in English just fine (with predictions and all) even with a foreign language keyboard always on.

It's space not very well used, is it not? My proposal is that it would get a new look and new functionality: In lieu of one, we would get four buttons which all still do work as the space button but each of them would get their unique secondary functions. One's function — tongue switch. There rest is up to you. ✌

I use SwiftKey for years now and I've got rid of most of the weird suggestions now, but it took extremely long and I had to remove lots of words every day for many years. And still I sometimes get suggestions like
"gaucho Hagan Hitchens Cecil Barco barstool Megan yap naval brouhaha..."
that nobody needs. And that after removing thousands of words from the dictionary.
I know that the dictionary must be somewhere in SwiftKey's app data, since it has to be saved offline somewhere. But normal users can't see/edit some binary file in a protected folder, so my suggestion is:
Please make the list of words that are currently in the dictionary available to edit in some form, maybe as a text file (although I doubt it could be opened with the RAM of a phone), maybe as a list with checkboxes to delete many entries at once, maybe in another form.

I noticed that after the latest update there is no more auto space after swift, please bring it back!

after the recent update , auto spacing prediction is not working, I have to manually press space button to get the next predicted word. which makes typing slow. and it is really embarrassing.
please bring back the old settings and my keypad freezing frequently.

After the last update the auto spacing after predicting a word has gone. It has just destroyed all the productivity that SwiftKey had been giving to me.

No, this is not a feature for Android beta version. After the last update, this becomes a bug for me and many others that are complaining about it.

Usually when I swipe on the keyboard, after I complete a word, on keyboard release, SwiftKey inserts the predicted word followed by a space.
But now it doesn't behave that way anymore: after I swiped the cursor stays attached to the predicted word and a space is inserted only after I touch the keyboard again.
How can I go back to the previous mode?

Thanks

Hello team,

I know it's me who's raising about this issue again. Regardless the android version, phone model, and apps, Chinese typing lags hugely while taping on the suggestion on the prediction bar. It takes one or two seconds to get the suggestion typed into the text box. It happens since the 5-language support, which means it has been 4 or 5 months. Some users and me made several reports during this time but we heard absolutely zero fix or underway news.

This feedback is also included in my report article to the team, and this should happen now, we waited for too long.

Bon courage team!

I've been using Swiftkey for 4 years now on two different phones. Previously when I used to type incorrect words in English swiftkey showed the suggestions for the correct spelling. I need that because I've a weak vocabulary and depend on swiftkey for the spellings. But on the other hand, i also type Bengali words in English for communicating with friends. Now i feel that the Bengali words in English are being suggested for incorrect spellings. If i make a mistake in an English word, like "swiming" or "ocupation" i dont see any suggested spellings for the correct word.
I assumed that the English form of Bengali words got stored thus deleting the original English words from the list.

Any kind of assistance regarding this matter will really help me. Thank you.

There's a site where I chat with hosts
When I try to type the key board disappears

How can I install Turkish F keyboard?

Is there a way I can have access to all the words that I have typed?
If you let that option available to users I'd be great,

Thank you for your time, hope to hear from you soon about this topic

How do I uninstall unwanted keyboards?

I'm experiencing problemas with the use of SwiftKey and Android Email App. When type an email using SwiftKey, and a notification arrives on the top of the screen, my SwiftKey keyboard moves millimeters up until the notification is dismissed.
Besides annoying, this problem leads to errors on typing.
Anyone knows how to solve it?

just in the last couple days, and only (so far) in Facebook, when I type certain words I get a list of associated emojis that pop up automatically. I find this extremely annoying and would love to disable it. I do have the "emoji predictions" toggle  turned off. Please help. Thank you.

Hi,

the ability to add various keywords for a single clipboard text would be ace. The "➕" text could be input not only by writing "plus" but also "más" which is Spanish for the same word: Individuals who have dozens of clip texts can't remember the exact keywords. Further, it would be nice if you could assess special symbols, asterisks and so on, to enter clip text. That way you could enter the emoji "➕" by entering the normal "+" as well. ☺

«You could separate the keywords by using a comma or space.»

Keep up the great work, SwiftKey ninjas.

Currently, the only keyboards with swiping and a deep level of functional customization are lesser known and lacking when it comes to swiping accuracy/prediction/intelligence. Examples: Ultra Keyboard, ai.type, and Multiling O.

My request is for SwiftKey to be the first major keyboard to incorporate things like top and bottom row customization (creating and mapping keys) alongside accurate swiping.

The new Gboard has a nice feature: https://youtu.be/Hj_91ntoi50

I like the idea, but I don't like, that this is only possible with Googles search. I would like to choose the search engine, that I like to use (for example DuckDuckGo).

Hi,

under account services, the option personalize doesn't connect to 

my facebook and gmail account. The given passwords are correct.

Personalize from SMS works as it should.

There is no blocker, vpn or virusscanner running in background.

Whats the problem?

After the most recent update that removes the space after Flow, I've noticed a small issue with regards to multiple-word capitalization.
When I Flow the first word, capitalized, all is fine. However, if I press the shift key and begin to Flow the second word, the first becomes un-capitalized.
Example: once Upon a Time. After hitting the shift key and beginning to Flow 'Upon', 'Once' becomes 'once'.

Hi,

Is there a way to display numeric keypad with number keys only? For example on my Galaxy S7 Clock app when I want to select say hours or minutes, SwiftKey switches to numeric keyboard, but there heaps of other keys presented which has no meaning when entering numeric values only, like hours in this case.

With all the additional keys numeric keys are quite small.

For some reason, just in the last few days, my keyboard does not add a space after I Swype a word. It DOES add a space if I Swype another word. However, the only reason this is super annoying is when I'm on Facebook and typing a comment or updating my status, Facebook tries to tag a person with nearly every word I type. I see another thread where someone wants to remove the space, I need to add it!

I read about that before

I like the flow and I like gestures. Gestures have an option to delete by swiping to the left ⬅, and to hide keyboard by sweeping down ⬇, but I'd like to see a feature where we could move pointer, just by sliding our finger on the keyboard.

I use SwiftKey in two languages: German and English (UK). Auto capitalisation is turned off, but nonetheless, many words in German are capitalised. This includes words such as articles, which definitely should not be upper case. Any idea why?

Hi,
Every time i click the "theme" button, the app telling me i need to update the app to get to the store. I updated it like 3 times and it still doesn't work. Help anyone?
Thanks for the help!

I am using Swiftkey 6.5.3.35 on a Samsung S7 running Android 7.0.

First, I would like to say that I think that moving the focus to corrections instead of predictions was a mistake. I miss predictions, but I have been using the new version and trying to adapt, despite not really liking it. I have some questions.

1. How do i capitalize the next word? I'm flowing and my last flow was correct, and now I wish to capitalize the next word (say, a proper noun). If I hit shift, it capitalizes the last word. If I just tap or flow, then it's not capitalized. Example: "Yesterday I visited the State House."

2. Hitting spacebar after a *correct* flow inserts two spaces. How do I stop this? Autocorrect is set to off.

3. Punctuation is slightly messed up as well. If I insert punctuation (: ; / - + etc) after a *correct* flow, it auto-adds a space in between. It makes using colon, semi-colon, etc very awkward. It's there a way to fix this? e.g. "To whom it may concern:"

Thanks!

I almost always use the little microphone key to speak the text of my email and text messages, but for the past few days SwiftKey triples what I spoke in ALMOST identical text, with 3 slightly different versions of what I said. This is happening on both my Nexus 6P with Android 7.1.1 and my Samsung Galaxy Tab S with 6.0.1.
I even tried disabling the GBoard app, but no luck.
