  1. Store list of frequently used usernames and email addresses

    I would like to see the option to either store or cache a custom list of usernames and email addresses so that we don't need to type them in full every time. Maybe add them to the .com button or let the prediction feature do the job. Thank you

        • learning from vk.com (vkontakte app)

          Mostly I using vk messaging, it will be great if SwiftKey would be able to learn from it.

              • Own spelling checker dictionary i Swiftkey

                Add words to your own userdefined spelling checker dictionary to get rid of typing errors. Swiftkeys correction by learning is not good enough if you by mistake repeat typing wrongly spelled words. It will on the contrary learn wrongly spelled words

                • Learn apostrophe in names.

                  It would be great if names apostrophed came up in the predictive text. For instance if I write "Sarahs" it would be nice if "Sarah's" automatically came up at least for common names.

                  • Have an option to remove the smile key?

                    everytime i try to hit the backspace, i hit the smiley. Maybe even make a way to delete/add keys and move them around to your liking?

                      • Let me disable or override autocompletion.

                        Let me disable or override autocompletion. If I backspace over a suggestion, it should not come back. I tried to type "Damn" and it was replaced by "Danny" three times. There was no way to type the word I wanted!

                        • Build your own keyboard

                          As a main option in settings menu, give us the ability to build our own keyboard configuration. With a UI that allows us to change the location of keys, move them around, change long-press keys. I would definitely like to use some keys differently than how the keyboards are configured.

                            Just like the title says, an option to turn off the prediction engine and just use it as a regular keyboard.

                              • Show user added words in a different colour in the suggestion bar

                                There is currently no way of telling if a suggested word in the suggestion bar is a custom user added one, or a default dictionary one, unless you long press on it and see if the remove option is greyed out or not.

                                I suggest that user added words show in a slightly different colour in the suggestion bar. This would help in many ways, but one I can think of is sometimes I add words that are mis-spelt, i.e, don't know the spelling of a word, so just type it in and hope a suggestion comes up. Sometimes it…

                                    I never use emoticons. Having them appear as a key wastes valuable real estate, and including them in predictions is a waste of time.

                                      • Add the option to learn from Gmail folders (sms/chat)

                                        I automatically backup all of my sms/mms to a folder in Gmail for, obviously, backup. I will periodically delete them on my phone or whenever I flash a new ROM they will be gone. This basically renders learn from SMS useless. If you could learn from a Gmail folder, you would not only be able to learn from sms but ALL of your sms instead of just the few on your phone. Did I mention if you had this option you could be able to learn from your chat history? That's killing two birds with one stone!
