SwiftKey Q&A: Week 1 - Cursor Control Kalıcı Olarak Yerleştirildi Öne Çıkarılanlar
0 oy 14 yorum

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.

Toolbar not showing Yanıtlandı
0 oy 1 yorum

Hello, I have the problem in google sheets for example that the toolbar isn't showing and icon to open it also is missing, so that I can't use the clipboard. I need to type anything, then exit the cell and go back to it to get it shown. On some forms, often passwords, it's impossible to get it shown on any way. Is there a fix for that? Or can you add a shortcut on the keyboard to open the taskbar? Thank you Device make and model: Xiaomi Mi 9 Device Android version: 11 Current SwiftKey version: 7.8.7.8 Steps to reproduce: Open Google Sheets and open any cell - keyboard opens but toolbar is missing when it's empty. Or Xing login password field.

Some keys barely visible in SwiftKey beta in Dark Mode Yanıtlandı
0 oy 1 yorum

I am using SwiftKey beta 7.8.8.6 on a Xiaomi Mi 9T MIUI Global 12.05.(Android 10, 1 Mar 21 security level) in Android Dark Mode and many keys (Enter, Backspace, Shift and others) are almost invisible on the SwiftKey keyboard. The keys are present and functional but their labels are very hard to read. I have tried many SwiftKey themes and all have the same issue. The problem is not present in Light Mode for the 2 themes I have tried (Adaptive and High Contrast). Regular SwiftKey works fine in Dark and Light modes. Happy to post a screenshot showing the missing keys if someone would tell me how to add an attachment.

Disable more than one word on a single prediction block Yanıtlandı
-1 oy 1 yorum

Give to the user an option to disable more than one word on a single prediction block. Ex: user types the word "big", the prediction blocks show "big whale", "big building", "big elephant". None of the predictions were memorized from previous user textings. Ideal scenario: user types "big", the prediction blocks show "whale", "building", "elephant". Reason why: sometimes the predictions will show nonsensical two or three words, like "see has been". All examples quoted here are just hypothetical. I use the portuguese language, not english. I do not care for the english predictions, that is not the problem. I only want an option to disable two or more words inside a single prediction block, so the predictions become single word by block. Because it's easier to avoid the wrong predictions than fixing the whole nonsensical two to three words by block.

It's annoying.

Slow perf leading to unintended long-presses Yanıtlandı
0 oy 1 yorum

Sometimes Swiftkey has pretty serious performance issues where the keyboard really slows down or even freezes for a second. This then spirals into it incorrectly interpreting a normal press as a long-press. Ironically, this is the worst when using Outlook & Teams, which I assume is because they are somewhat intensive or inefficient apps.

Suggestions for toggle options
0 oy 1 yorum

I have skme gripes that my only option to produce these results is to switch to a different keyboard. Here are some options that should be added: When you select a period "." to enter in a decimal number it wont auto snap to the previous word. Example: I made. 54% progress instead of. 9% Another suggestion is to remove certain saved words. I don't need the app auto correcting my correct words to a spelling error I made way too many time. Example, 8n instead of in. Another suggestion, remove the deleting of spaces at the end of the sentence after pressing the return key. In certain apps like reddit if you press the return key to go to a new line it will delete an extra space at the end of the previous line. This causes issues when an app determines a new line based on whether or not there is a space at the end of the last word. Because all are removed, it will be seen as not putting a space or an end line and it will just concat the first word of the next paragraph to the previous word. This may be app specific since it only applies when new line using the return key is not seen as a character. But removing a ton of spaces requires me to mash the space bar 3 or 4 times to make sure there are spaces at the end.
Fyom? Really? Yanıtlandı
0 oy 1 yorum

I've been taking screenshots of examples where SwiftKey autocorrects a word that is spelled correctly by me into gibberish. I saw myself type (using keys not swipe) "fro" and as soon as I added the "m" to write the word "from" it autocorrected it to "fyom." The word "from" became an option in the bar on the left, but why would it not leave a perfectly good word alone? I have many other screenshots just like this. I'm using a Pixel 4a 5g on Android 11 Please figure out how to get back to the amazing SwiftKey of old... -Chris

Writing a message with Swiftkey impossible, deleting the whole message while writing. Yanıtlandı
0 oy 1 yorum

I've had this problem for quite long now in Android Swiftkey. When I try to write a message, at some point the keyboard deletes it completely. Not just last word, but everything, whole message. And obviously there is no undo or anything to have it back, so it's completely lost and very annoying bug.

I've not been able to recognize what the trigger for this is. It might be "space", or ".", but "backspace" has done it also. It happens typically in mobile Firefox browser in a forum, but I've seen it happening also for example in reddit app, so I think it's not app related. Instead Swiftkey is having some bug.
