The best way to post a question

I have just spent 2 hours trying to debug why my relative's new wifi password which I set wasn't working, and it was because I had added a punctuation character at the end of the password and swiftkey added a space.

Is there a setting or workaround to do this? If not, please disable this when filling in a password field.

In Swiftkey for Android the font size when typing in Telegram is smaller than in Whatsapp. 

That's independent of what font size has been selected for sent messages. I mean, the problem is only when typing.

Hello,

I can not seem to activate the "Cloud Clipboard" on my Android device. It gets stuck on "registering to the cloud" message when I try to activate. I have waited around 1 hour just on this screen to see if it works in some time but with no luck.

Can anyone help me with the issue?

Device is Huawei Nova 9

Swiftkey is installed by default and updated via Huawei AppGallery to latest.

We would greatly appreciate Swiftkey to automatically detect and switch the keyboard layout for Foldable devices (like the Galaxy Fold 4).  The Samsung keyboard and Gboard keyboard automatically do this.  So for example, when the foldable is closed, the regular standard keyboard appears but when the foldable is opened, it should detect this and present the split keyboard to allow for easier typing. 

Been a SwiftKey user for at least 10 years and I don't want to have to abandon it.  Thank you so much for the great product.

There must be some way to get this fixed. Maybe I need to switch keyboards which I do not want to do because of copy/paste from my computer to my phone.

I love your app. I have been using it for many years on both Android and iOS but there is a problem. These words won't stop coming up "Juat, thru, nor, fir, thr and Mr". I understand Thru is short for through, but it's not a word that I ever use but it continues being offered up. I also never use Mr, but instead of being offered "Me", which is the word that I actually use a lot, I am offered Mr. The rest are clearly mispelled words but SwiftKey won't stop changing my correctly spelled words to. Also, can you please do something about the Comma button? I end up pressing it constantly, when I do not mean to. Maybe you can give us the option where we have to double tap it or hold the button for a few seconds, before it is typed out.

Hi,

I've been using Swiftkey for many years, I really love this keyboard and features. I recently switched to a galaxy fold, and can't match the keyboard to a foldable use case.

Swiftkey has a one-handed layout, which is perfect for the main screen where I can't use swiping in any comfortable and precise way with the normal all-screen layout.

The problem is that if I set it to one handed layout, for some reason the keyboard on the external narrow screen is also narrower, even though simple logic dictates that the very narrow external display is already one-handed and shouldn't be resized.

I can't find any setting to disable this, I have to change the layout setting every time I switch displays which is stupidly annoying and making this keyboard useless on foldables.

Even the split ("thumb") layout follows to the external display, which is even stupider.

Samsung keyboard already has this obvious feature, there are settings to configure default layouts for main display and external display, the external one even has different settings for portrait and landscape modes.

Is there any way to force the keyboard to stay on full layout on the external display and one-handed layout on the main display? Or do I have to abandon Swiftkey for Samsung keyboard?

Thanks

Personalized dictionary backup can be exported and imported, so that users can better experience the previous input habits. The existing version can only export and delete the dictionary backup data, but cannot import new ones, which will make it difficult for users To experience the previous input habits and convenience. I hope that the thesaurus and Shuangpin option of the Windows input method can be added as soon as possible, which is also a very strong demand for users who are accustomed to the Windows input method.

I have always NOT used the Android default vibration and had keypress vibration set to 3 ms in the Swiftkey options. I just updated to Android 13, and the vibrations are all out of whack. It feel like every few vibrations, an extra one gets added and it's difficult to type. It's the same issue as this:

That's specific to the Google keyboard, but I'm having the same issue. Is there any way to fix this?

It seems that the latest SwiftKey update (8.10.21.3) introduced a new bug. I use SmartOffice for my documents. (Yes, I know it's not a Microsoft product, shame on me.) Now, when I try to edit them, SwiftKey pops up but with limited functionality. The word suggestion bar doesn't appear, words don't automatically space and the number key doesn't stay on for more than one character. 

I'm using Vivo X70 (Android 12) and Samsung Tab S4 (Android 10). SmartOffice is version 3.13.10.
