I'm using a Samsung S21 Ultra (Android 12, One UI 4.0) and as I was signing into a new app account the screen locked and the keyboard vanished.
I rebooted the phone, no change. I'm also now receiving a message that Google stopped working. After a little thinking, I went to Settings / Apps / Google and pressed on Force Stop.
That brought back the keyboard, which is a step forward, but it was the Samsung keyboard.
Long story short, it would seem there was a very recent update to the MS SwiftKey Beta that I'm guessing installed at the same time I was attempting to register a new app. (This was a legitimate app, the IMDb app.)
For good measure, I uninstalled SwiftKey Beta and reinstalled it.
Everything seems to be in order but for 15 minutes I was a little nervous. :)

Cuando estoy escribiendo una dirección de correo electrónico, en la barra de sugerencia de texto del teclado me aparecen o me sugiere alguna dirección pero no se puede distinguir si es la que necesito ya que aparece en letras muy pero muy pequeñas, se podría decir que necesito una lupa para poder verlo. Eso para mi hace este teclado infuncional, no es practico. Deberían de corregir ese error ya que del resto no tengo queja. Esperando que mi sugerencia sea tomada en cuenta me despido agradeciendo su atención. -
Voice button placement

SwiftKey is the best. The only thing I wish I could change was the voice dictation button placement. On big phones it is hard to get to. Give me the option to place on right side if screen (like gboard).

SPACE AFTER PERIOD ISSUE {and after ')' too
2 проголосовали
3 прокомментировали
Is there a way to stop the automatic space after a period? This has been a problem for many people and is seemingly ignored by developers. Automatically adding a space after periods is fine but not after dots, unfortunately they use the same key. Also, after the right parentheses is an issue, it's not hard to tap after these characters, IL why can't it be included in the Swift Key Options? The ability to disable automatic period after a double space is an option, so I don't understand why the other similar issue can't be easily resolved. When I text, I always remove the additional '.' as no not transmit the extra Byte of data (a personal anal pet peeve, but if you think about it, that adds up and could be somewhat significant. -

Automatic period positioning С ответом
0 проголосовали
6 прокомментировали
I'm an engineer so I am constantly texting decimal numbers. When trying to type something like "the tolerance for that part is. 100" the period automatically snaps to the "is" and not to ".100" even when intentionally adding a space. I then have to monkey around with spaces or put the number in parenthesis. It's really annoying when I have to do this multiple times in a sentence. Disabling autocorrect doesn't stop this behavior. -
So many themes, but not one that looks good
4 проголосовали
3 прокомментировали
I have several issues with the SwiftKey themes:
1. There are lots of themes, but most of them feature the exact same key layout with another background. These 'themes' should not be listed as separate themes, but as variations of a theme. The most sensible thing to do to get some structure in this mess, is creating several keyboard layouts (i.e. with rectangular keys, rounded corners, no border,...), then let the user choose whether or not to display secondary symbols on the keys, and then offer color options.
2. There is no reason to put the SwiftKey logo in plain sight on the spacebar. I know which keyboard I'm using, and I 'm happy to tell other people if they ask, but I don't want your logo all the time in my sight. Put it in the '+'-menu if you absolutely need to show it somewhere.
3. There are almost no beautiful themes. I know this is very subjective, and yes, there are themes with balloons and fireworks as background images, and I can even use a custom photo,... But to me, a perfect keyboard is the keyboard that is not "in your face"; it's a keyboard that you don't even notice using. It should be clean, and have no showy interface elements. These themes are (almost) not available to choose from. The only theme that comes close to this, is 'Minimal material light', but even in a 'minimal' theme, you couldn't stop using colors and painted the shift, backspace, enter, emoji and symbols keys lilac.
Please get rid of the nineties keyboard layouts and introduce some modern ones, and make them fully customizable. -

Clipboard shortcut missing on Android 12? С ответом
2 проголосовали
1 комментарий
Prior to Android 12 on my Samsung Note 10+ when entering or selecting text if you long pressed you would see clipboard as an option along with copy/paste/select all etc
It seems to no longer be available for selection
Now only way is to open the additional options in the swiftkey keyboard while in writing mode and select the clipboard icon Is is intended as a security feature with android 12 or a bug? I uninstalled and reinstalled and same thing. My other devices running android 11 still have the option I'm on the latest beta version
Also seems the clipboard has less items in memory now as well

Bola direccional teclado windos 10 mobile С ответом

Sería muy interesante que llegase una función olvidada del teclado de windows 10, la bola direccional. Antes usaba las flechas direccionales en el teclado swiftkey, llevo usando la función direccional al dejar pulsada la barra espaciadora, pero creo firmemente que la antigua bola direccional era mucho más cómoda, rápida y funcional en cuanto a la escritura.
Un saludo.

Turkish Keyboard Issue
0 проголосовали
1 комментарий
With the latest Turkish language update, unnecessary accented characters have become visible when certain keys are long pressed. These keys are i, u, and a. The characters that have to be removed from the keyboard when "hide accented characters" option is toggled on are î, û, and â. As a fan of SwiftKey keyboard for years, I don't want to see these accented characters. If I needed them, I would easily toggle them on in the settings (long press to see all available accents). This seriously affects users' typing habits (i.e. swiping left/right to use default accented characters). This is such a nuisance. The latest language update caused this. -
Don't add a space after a dot/period
27 проголосовали
15 прокомментировали
Please deactivate automatic spacing after typing a dot, or add an option to NOT insert a space (" ") after typing a dot/period ("."). It is very annoying, as the dot is a common character in any text field or text area (think input fields and text editors, not just web addresses, code editors and alike).
Although this issue has been reported several times, there's still no reaction from SwiftKey/Microsoft for SEVERAL YEARS. Maybe the issue is not tracked anymore as it is associated with a "permanently deleted user".

Most of my typing is in regards to IP addresses, email address and the like.
Most of the time I do not want a space following the period. Perhaps an option in the settings area would help.

Whenever Swiftkey is in incognito mode, it will report an error when trying to change the theme (to a more readable one. Dark grey isn't actually super readable on a black background).

In summary, Microsoft confesses to have made a mistake, but does not say, when it intends to fix it.
Yes, it is the most recent version of the app: 7.9.7.11

I'm using SwiftKey Beta (7.9.7.8), and recently none of the popup specifical characters appear. For the other keys I can still type the characters by holding them down, even though the pop-up never appears, but it doesn't work for the period key with 3 special characters- comma (which has anther button), exclamation point, and question mark. When the problem first appeared it seemed intermittent, but right now it doesn't work at all. I've tried typing in multiple apps. -
Stop period/dot from forcing a space after it
37 проголосовали
36 прокомментировали
Currently using latest beta. I am a technical / computer person and therefore my writing vocabulary often includes things with period/dots in them that are not words (i.e. e.g. 192.168.1.1 www.vcu.edu and so-on). The constant forced auto-insertion of a space when I am trying to use a period as a dot, not as punctuation, is driving me crazy and often forces mangled/incorrect emails, texts, etc. I thought turning on the option to insert a period by double-tapping the space bar would turn that off - it did not.
I seem to recall in a previous version of Swiftkey there was the ability to turn off the dot/period from forcing a space after it.
I think when I tried another keyboard (GBoard?) it did not do that. However, I am used to the way Swiftkey works and would hate to switch to something else....

Sometimes punctuation isn't working, some words never work С ответом
0 проголосовали
1 комментарий
Sometimes the punctuation pop-up on the beta isn't working for me. That isn't constant. However, what IS constant is that some words just don't work anymore. School is one of them. I can't flow it. I have to type it out. If I flow it, it will show on the bar to be selected in the middle with no other choices but I can't click on it to make it type it. There's other words I can't think of offhand that also have that issue. I'm just so frustrated because I've used the beta for years and years with no issue. I know you want a video but I have zero idea how to screen record on this thing. I can give you screen shots of my phone info and of what it looks like when school is up and won't let choose it. Also what the hell is going on with sync. I logged out and now it looks like I've lost all of my saved words and predictions after logging back in? That's at least A DECADE of data. Sigh.
