Microsoft SwiftKey Android Support Forums

Why do my keyboard options such as bold, underling and italics suddenly stop working? They work fine for a few sentences then suddenly they greyed out.

I use SwiftKey on Samsung Galaxy tablet and phone

Any ideas anyone? 

There is a  missing alphabet key in SwiftKey keypad for Punjabi (Pakistan)/ پنجابی language.

The letter is ݨ (Arabic letter noon with small tah (U+0768)) representing the sound (retroflexed n).

So how can it get added to the keypad ?

Thanks

Hello,

I have been using Swiftkey on all my devices for many years and absolutely love it.

I bought an Asus Chromebook Flip about 18 months ago and was thrilled to see in the Chrome OS 79 update that custom keyboards were better supported and rushed to download and activate the Swiftkey app in the Play Store.

It didn't work very well, but I thought nevermind, it's early days, it will probably be fixed soon.

I have since updated to Chrome OS 81.0.4044.94  and have version 7.5.2.7 of Swiftkey installed, but the problems are worse. The keyboard appears and the predictions seem to function, but the text doesn't appear in the relevant field, and when I close the keyboard manually, only the first few letters that I tried to type appear, repeated several times. 

For example : "This is a test" - using physical keyboard in laptop mode
For example : "This is" s ais testis:isis3" - using Switfkey in tablet mode (but no text appears until I close the keyboard)

Does anyone have similar experience or advice on how to fix this problem? Shall I just wait for a few more updates to see if compatability improves? Is it perhaps linked to my device? Does Swiftkey plan to better integrate the app with Chrome OS? I seem to remember there being a separate Swiftkey Tablet app when I first had a tablet about 8 years ago, but can't seem to find it any more, does it still exist and would this be better adapted?

Many thanks in advance for any help offered! :)  

I'm having a very specific issue that I am not sure how to solve.

I play Pokemon GO and use an application called CalcyIV.  CalcyIV allows me to quickly copy text which my keyboard can just paste containing very specific information for me.

Lately, around the last month, I am having issues with this copy-pasting from this app using SwiftKey.  Sometimes it just doesn't want to work at all.  I've done some research and someone had the same issue 5 months ago, suggesting to deactivate "Remember Copied Items" because it sounds like SwiftKey might prohibit copying the same string again if it is in the clipboard history.  I am unable to find this option to "Remember Copied Items".  Where can I find this?

A small youtube video from someone else showing what I am trying to do (If you need more info on CalcyIV): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urOzYRs6BRY

All of a sudden my keyboard is not working properly.. For last week or so. Almost every word i type is misspelled! Look at the i i just typed.... Before last week, it would have capitalized itself. Not any longer. You know how you type and misspell a word, but it auto corrects and you find the correct spelling in the middle word of the 3 across? If you continue, I'm used to the word in the middle selecting itself into your sentance, no longer! It still capitalizes i at beginning of a sentance, but not IN a sentance. Also, just noticed where its supposed to pick the middle word of the three, it automatically selects and inserts the first word or word to the left of the three. I need to type slowly and manually press the correct spelling if the middle word! What's going on? It's worthless! 

I think what everyone has been requesting over the past few years is add support for dark mode onto the keyboard & stop bundling languages together which have the same keyboard layout or at least offer an option for it!!!!

Hi - I am running SwiftKey on my OnePlus 7 Pro and my wife's OnePlus 6T.

We are both running Android 10 on our phones (OP's Oxygen O/S).

We both have a problem with SwiftKey, where the typed characters aren't being recognized by an application. It has randomly happened with multiple application (email, text messaging, etc.).

For example, I could start up the browser on my OP7P, and start typing on the SwiftKey keyboard to search. When the issue happens, nothing is being recognized by the app - in this example, the browser search bar stays empty, even though I am getting a haptic keyboard click for every key I am pressing. Nothing is getting to the application. However - in this example - if I then switch to another app, say the text messaging application, the SwiftKey keys are recognized again and acting normally. Then if I switch back to the browser, the SwiftKey typing is back to being recognized.

This problem occurs randomly.

Is this a known issue? Considering that it occurs on both my wife's phone and my phone (both different models & O/S versions) this seems like a generic SwiftKey problem.

Thanks,

There are 2 major problems , for me , in using your Keyboard:

1 - Every time I type a dot (as Ex: hotmail.com) the keyboard insert a space (blank character) after the dot. This is very useful when typing text but is frustrating when you type your email and your password and the site tell you to retype because something is incorrect. Questions is: Could you set as Optional the insertion of a space character after the dot ??

2 - Using your keyboard in typing formatted text , when i am typing 2 spaces it automatically translate it into a dot followed by a single space (which should be the alternative to method described before). Both problems are depending from same automatism. 

Please change it

Thanks & Regards

 I've seen there have been posts about themes before, but let's really try to get some steam behind this one!

It would be nice if the accent color on some of them wasn't just reserved to the 'ENTER', 'DELETE', & other side keys. For example the Minimal Dark Yellow or Pulse Yellow themes where the letters on the keys are white. It would be nice if those were the same color right? 

Or give us more options for customization in the custom section like editing an existing theme & other options.

Hello i have a problem my QWERTY os crazy everysingle time i play  forge our the game pawn Empire what can i. Do

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?

Hi

If I swipe, for example, "ok", swiftkey changes it to "OK". 

I then hold down on "OK" and click "remove prediction".

Then I swipe "ok" and it doesn't come up - so I type it, and click it, ie. teaching it to swiftkey again.

But then the next time I swipe it, it comes up as "OK" again.

I'm teaching it "ok", but it keeps reverting back to "OK", which has been removed.

Is there any way to stop this?

Otherwise a fix should really be included in an update.

Thanks

Phone: Galaxy Note 10, Android 10.

OS Language: Korean.

SwiftKey locale: Korean (+QWERTY changeable)

Symptom : When using Windows 10 'Your Phone' app, the Android seems to recognize the keyboard as a hardware keyboard. When I typed Ctrl+Shift to change locale, then I can see the swift keyboard layout was changed, but the language is still typing in English regardless of Korean/QWERTY display changes.

This had happened when I connected Bluetooth keyboard to the phone several months ago, which seemed to be fixed now. But it happens to Your Phone app now.

Salve, da un pò provo a rimuovere una parola dalle previsioni, che con la correzione automatica mi sostituisce ogni volta, in poche parole vorrei scrivere el con la e minuscola, ma lui la sostituisce con la E maiuscola, se provo ad eliminarla, la toglie, ma se riprovo me la trovo ancora con El.. perchè non si rimuove del tutto? esempio scrivo El (rimuovi El) e diventa el, ma se provo a cancellare e riscrivere, mi riporta El..
