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.

Suggestion Bar delimiters

Is it possible to display some sort of delimiter between the 3 suggestions on the Suggestion Bar? I frequently pick the suggestion adjacent to the intended one, and I think this would not happen if the bar were split into 3 distinct regions visually. -

Disable flow AND gesture.

Could it be possible to add a option to disable gesture input altogether?
I do not like using flow as it makes me type slower, so I put it in gesture and because of that, sometimes deletes words or lowers the keyboard which is very annoying.
I am just wanting you to add a option to disable it entirely. I know I would use it, and there has someone else out there too!- Joe

Move euro symbol (€) on the Croatian keyboard as Croatia adopts the euro
0 oy
1 yorum
As Croatia is adopting the euro from 1 January 2023, can you please move the € symbol to where the $ symbol is now on the Croatian layout?
To access the dollar symbol ($) you need to select the numbers/symbols button on the keyboard where the dollar is on the second row, third character.
However, to access the euro symbol (€), you need to first select the numbers/symbols button, and then again select the button for other characters, which means, to get to the currency symbol of the country, you need three keypresses.
Also, it would be better if the euro symbol (€) replaced the dollar symbol ($) as the default longpress of the "x" key.

Inserts space before punctuation marks
0 oy
1 yorum
Hello,
after tapping a suggested word and then a punctuation mark, Swiftkey removes the space between the word and the mark for the marks there should be no space before them, but for some marks it doesn't.
It removes the space after tapping a full stop, a comma, a question or exclamation mark, but not after a colon or a semicolon.
Also, I just noticed that the same occurs for reverse question and exclamation marks.
Could you please take a look at this? -
[Feature Request] Turn off auto spaces

How can I turn off the feature which adds a space after every predicted word I select, or punctuation mark? It should only insert a space if I then decide to add another word. Having to delete excess spaces at the ends of things, or sometimes after the "#" in a hash tag, is really getting old quickly.

Swiftkey on galaxy fold with separate layouts
6 oy
7 yorum
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

[Feature Request] More intelligent copy-pasting ! 🎉
2 oy
1 yorum
When you copy something, GBoard automatically recognizes emails, phone numbers, pin codes and urls. It then create separate clips (one for the full text and one for each of the recognized elements inside it). It would be easy I guess to develop such a useful feature for SwiftKey. Also when taking a screenshot, the image is also automatically added to GBoard's clipboard ! You can then send the image in no more than a single click in your conversations. That's dope and to be honest that's the only thing I really miss from GBoard. I really recommend you try this feature by yourself and see how GBoard makes it work, it's kind of a state-of-the-art :) Thanks!

I love that SwiftKey Beta finally have released Photo Themes, and given users a possibility to design your own custom theme!!!
BUT it needs the possibility to deside the COLOR OF THE FONT. Without it it's not very usefull. It would also be good if you add a way to determend how transparent the photo theme is.

How to change clipboard 1 hour expiry settings

Hi Team I would like to check how I can keep clipboard entries without pinning them more than for 1 hour. Any reason for 1 hour decision? It doesn't make sense. I am OK to clear entries on restart but expiry 8s my decision and I need to be able to control that. Also pinning doesn't seem to work as I can't see my pinned items from windows machine on my Android. I think that app needs a bit of improvements. Regards, Areg -

Dear developer.
My name is: Minh Duc
I'm in Vietnamese.
I have used alot of Swype keyboard. So I see that, there are some function called
1. Swipe from" 123" button to "A" button to select all text
2. Swipe from "123" button to "C" button to copy
3. Swipe from "123" button to "X" button to cut.
4. Swipe from "123" button to "V" button to Paste.
I think Swiftkey keyboard need Tobe add these functions to become more and more convenient.
Many thanks for developing. -

Why is iOS SwiftKey different than Android? Missing amazing features
2 oy
5 yorum
So I switched to iPhone after 6 years using an android phone. I installed swiftkey on ios noticed that the ios swiftkey app is missing some mandatory (imo) features which are present in android version.
Features like resizing keyboard, long press for all symbols and numbers (numbers in first row, other symbols like ;()!%_= etc. underneath), a comma on the left side of space button, long press duration and many more
Why is it like this and are there any official statements on this one? I just love the android swiftkey and don’t like swiftkey at all on ios.
Thanks
