SwiftKey Q&A: Week 1 - Cursor Control Прикреплено Выделено
4 проголосовали 22 прокомментировали

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.

Swiftkey no longer works with Hancom Office
0 проголосовали 3 прокомментировали

Hi, I like using Swiftkey because of the ability to create long text shortcut keys which I use in customer support and because it is the only keyboard to somewhat support spell checking and preemptive text when using Samsung DeX.

It used to work great but recently I was using my word processor of choice, Hancom Office, and it is no longer working. It backspace and adds duplicate keys I reinstalled and it still isn't working

Using Samsung Tab S8 Ultra and Book cover Keyboard Does not happen with on Screen Keyboard or any other app/

In this example, I typed the following:

The Quick Brown Fox

John Doe

the quick brown fox

And this is what got printed on the screen in Hancom Office Word. It appears to be related to shifted characters.

TheQuickBrownFoxFBQJohnDoeJ

The quick brown fox

Thanks

Any way to make the autoselect prefer "I" instead of "u"?
0 проголосовали 1 комментарий

All too often I reread my text to see that the letter "u" was placed where I definitely meant "I", which naturally changes the entire meaning of the sentence. I never use "u" as a diminutive of "you". I can long press it in my pr edict bar and tell it not to predict it again but that does nothing for single letters.

Is there any way to manually assign prediction priority so that "I" is always suggested before "u", no matter how precise my swiping may be?

Recovery account
0 проголосовали 1 комментарий

How do I contact app account support? I tried the website but there was no response! I no longer have access to the Google account I used to log in to the app, only the account ID. I've submitted a request through this link (https://support.swiftkey.com/hc/en-us/requests/new) many times but haven't not received any response... It's been many days I've been using the keyboard for years, before being from Microsoft! I have a lot of important data saved! He's already family! 😭
Caps and no caps?

I got a new phone and when I use the voice text it does not capitalize names or many other words that should be. My old phone was close to perfect with that.
Predictions Capitalized in middle of sentence
1 голос 1 комментарий

Many of my words are predicted in a capitalized form, even in the middle of a sentence. It seems like I get the capitalized form more often than lowercase, making the prediction nearly useless. I keep removing these words but it keeps happening. There's got to be some way to get the app to only show capitalized words at the beginning of a sentence or when typed that way much more often than in lowercase. Or when typed in all-caps repeatedly. Or baring that, just only predict lowercase words. Because those are used far more often, most words are NOT at the beginning of a sentence.. This is an extremely annoying and time wasting problem.
Predictions in WordReference App
0 проголосовали 1 комментарий

SwiftKey doesn't show word prediction when using the WordReference app, although when I switch to Google keyboard, it shows me predictions inside the app. Hope predictions can be added to WordReference, which is a dictionary app that I happen to use a lot.

I just wanted to switch briefly to floating mode in portrait the other day, but since I did, Swiftkey doesn't appear again, unless in landscape. How do I get it back in portrait?

Just recently I was copying some links and pinning It on my clipboard to download it later but when I opened my clipboard it was all gone, even my saves from last year and the other year we're gone and I'm really devastated because all my saved clips w're important. If someone knows how I can recover all of my saved clips please do help, because it was just really all gone and this never happened before and I'm a crying mess as of the moment

Hallo - kann die Samsung Tastatur komplett entfernt werden. Jetzt taucht die ab und zu wieder auf und dann verliere ich viel Zeit um SwiftKey wieder als Standard einzustellen. Also, wie entferne ich eine ganze Tastatur?

When inputting alpha-numeric formulas into an app everything above the keys vanishes
0 проголосовали 1 комментарий

Example: the KLWP app. When I open the field to type in a mixed text/number string, the 3 suggestion tabs above the keyboard vanish, but more importantly, so does the row containing the clipboard button. This leaves me with no paste for formulae. This does not happen with the stock Samsung keyboard
Flow typing not working
0 проголосовали 1 комментарий

Flow typing has stopped working for me. Everything else seems to work though. Just no flow. I have uninstalled/reinstalled the app. Cleared cache. Restarted phone. Switched to Gestures and back. Talkback is not enabled. Not positive but it might have stopped working after recent android update.

Samsung Note20 Ultra 5g.

One UI version: 4.1

Android version 12

Huge typing problems in Facebook on Android
1 голос 1 комментарий

In many cases, Swift has become impossible to use when entering or editing comments in Facebook. Typing straight-away works okay, but you sometimes can't delete a word without it getting confused, or insertion text (it inserts elsewhere). It seems it's losing track of the cursor position which causes odd behaviors. You can see that the suggested words get confused too (probably from the cursor problem.) I sometimes have to compose in another app and then paste. Very frustrating. I'm guessing that Facebook is doing some odd things that maybe trip-up SwiftKey. Needs to be fixed soon!
speech-to-text closing after one word 2nd time being used
0 проголосовали 1 комментарий

when i use speech-to-text via long-pressing the comma button, it seems to work fine. if I leave the display up and hit the button again to say more, no matter how much I say it only outputs the first word, and it usually turns itself off after that one word. I think usually when this happens, if I hit the button again it works fine, then again will only be one word, and so on. this also happens if i: open speech to text say some stuff close speech to text open speech to text say some stuff this ^ is not an effective workaround, the bug still happens. i dont remember for sure if this happens if I close the keyboard and reopen it. I'll test that case and get videos soon. this has been happening for a long time, at least 6 months. I have a pixel 5 with updated Android. p.s. also planning to make a post soon about my cursor jumping around very frustratingly so lmk if anyone else has experienced that
Custom themes

Custom theme but with a shape user wants, maybe use one shape from existing theme and add or remove symbols to/from the keys?

Hi all! Please add a latin layout of the Chechen language.
You can find a layout I made for UNIX systems in the link below. Me and our community could help you integrate it into SwiftKey, if necessary.

请求适配安卓全键盘智能机型
0 проголосовали 2 прокомментировали

特别喜欢使用微软这款输入法,但是本人目前在用的是unihertz titan pocket这款小众机型,发现这款输入法对实体全键盘的支持较弱,希望增强适配.主要从几个功能提出诉求: 1.目前不能空格选词上屏 2.希望增加alt+数字键选词上屏功能 3.希望增加自定义短语功能,意思就是让用户自行设置按两下单个按键输入固定标点或短语,比如连续按两下k,输入可以的这个常用词汇
