    Currently the status of the bottom-right button is determined by information given to us by the app or text field that you are using – the app developer or web developer will indicate whether the bottom-right button should be smiley/new line, go, confirm, next field, etc. Smiley and Enter (new line) are the most common uses, but not the only uses of this button.

        I've just moved from an iPhone to a HTC one and immediately installed swift key to only find out that it struggles with a simple return key

        As others have said it slows down the typing and is a major problem. Not everyone puts smiley faces above grammar especially in a work environment

      • MarkMark commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        I cannot agree enough with the comments added here.
        Next line SHOULD have presedence over smileys.
        We're not asking for much, just an option to make next line priority if preferred.
        You done something similar with the space key to add a fullstop on double click. Whats the problem?

      • Pierre Capiod Pierre Capiod commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        Same here, I would like to swap between the return key and the smiley back page.
        Thank you.

      • MattMatt commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        Been using and loving this application for a while now.
        Not having the option for a dedicated return will stop me from using this excellent and, otherwise, we'll thought out application. I use hard returns in messages for clarity and having to long press for a return takes far too long.

      • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        can you not give us an option to change this!!

        I use SMS for work... im not a kid and I dont use emoticons. Can you not just add the feature in to let grown ups choose how they want to communicate???

      • Josh PalmerJosh Palmer commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        +1 - The smiley face should be the option presented after long press within a text message, not the default option.

      • Dael RaDael Ra commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        That may be but isn't the whole point of Swiftkey is to alter the default keyboard settings to make typing more efficient? The current system does not do that.

        Besides, when I type an SMS in my default keyboard, I don't get the emoticons so how can you say it's down to my "app developer or web developer " when it's blatantly not the case? If it was, I'd be screaming at them too.

      • MattMatt commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        Riddle me this:
        After a full, well written sentence which ended with a period, why in the hell would i want the enter key to make a smiley face?
        If i wanted a bloody smiley (1 time in 100 or 1000), i wouldn't have put that period there.

        Absolutely ridiculous that i can't lock the enter key as an enter key.

      • Dael RaDael Ra commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        I really want to install Swiftkey on my new HTC One. Unfortunately, this stupid 'feature' is enough of an issue to make my choice an easy one. It's a real shame Swiftkey is completely ruined by one small design decision.

      • WHYWHY commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        Why can't you put the smiley and enter functions into one button like in Whatsapp???
        its really pissing me off!!

      • Christian AsuncionChristian Asuncion commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        still it should be fixed that you can force the smiley into enter or you can just put an option on which will be the primary bottom right function

      • KriBKriBKriBKriB commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        I'm trowing in my two cents. I upgraded to different ROM on same phone, then I get Smiley in text app and ENTER in others, like Whatsapp.
        VEry annoying.

      • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        Please have an option to change this key permanent or change back if you want.

        Needs an undo button to please, if the wrong word is selected would be easier to remove last word and try typing it again.

        Awesome app worth the money for sure.

      • NFANFA commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        The responsefrom SwiftKey is incorrect. My wife and I havetheexact same phones and setups howeveron my phoneI get theemoticon and hers has enter. This is obviously abug that needs to be fixed.

      • Easy FixEasy Fix commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        Yeah, it would be so trivial to add an option to permanently switch from "smiley" to "new line." The enter key should always trump smileys, which are so underused they should be on the symbols page...oh wait, a few of them are there too! It's ridiculous that this has been a known issue for nearly 2 years yet still hasn't been changed, especially when so much of the community is outspoken about it and the fix would be hilariously simple.

      • ojiikunojiikun commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        Please give us a way to remove the emoticon button in *all* contexts. I never use it, but still accidentally fat-finger it at least once a day, and end up typing a few smilies that I then have to slowly backspace thru.

      • Chief ScientistChief Scientist commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        I have purchased SwiftKey for multiple devices, and recommended it to others until I found tis problem. I moved to a new device, and now I have to ley twice for return. I will be deleting SwiftKey and moving to an alternative unless this is fixed VERY quicky. :(

      • DanDan commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        hi guys,
        I also would like the Enter key, not smiles. enter is used a lot more than Smiles!!

        thanks
        Dan
