Make the spacebar longer
The spacebar needs to be longer because I keep hitting the period when pressing the spacebar.
Find some way to enlarge the spacebar, as too often I'm pressing the period button. It's very infuriating.
Please make an option where pressing space bar twice will enter a full stop. His way, you can get rid of the full stop key and maybe increase the space bar even further for those of us who just type with our right thumb. You would have to move the exclamation mark and the symbols contained in the full stop long press to the comma button, thus removing the useless voice dictation button. F course, this all can be an option in the settings.
I keep pressing the period by accident when trying to space, I have to backspace constantly.
Period and space bar are both too each other with the space bar being shorter. Wish there was a way to make the space bar longer so I wouldn't have to accidentally press period.
Make the space bar use the entire bottom of the key board
It would be great to be able to make the space bar wider. That is my only issue I have with typing. Often times when I go to hit the space bar I hit the period or comma which then capatilzes the next word.
Thanks for your time

While typing in landscapes e mode i often accidently hit the keys besides the spacer instead of the spacer itself. It would be great if there was the possibility to customize the position of the spacer for leftspacers or rightspacers.
I am always hitting the full stop instead of the spacebar so I think it would be really useful if you removed the question mark.
With phone screens becoming larger the keyboard is getting smaller.
When I use A.I. Type keyboard my favorite option is to remove the period button on the bottom row.
I would like to see the keyboard to have the option for a larger spacebar so I do not keep hitting the (.) button.
Please vote for this option.
hi are thereany plans toallow key custmisation for example changing the question mark key to a full stop which is natural to so many of us. also can the space bar be made longer as I often tap fullsto when intending to space.
Größere Leertaste und Punkt neben der Tastatur nur mit 2 oder 3 mal tippen schreiben habe zuviele punkte im Text
I often insert by mistake adot when i type the spacebar. Can you add a special option to invert comma and dot button and delete comma button? Thx
I hVe the. Most. Trouble. With . The . Buttons. In the bottom.row I would. Really. Like. To have longer space. Bar
This is what it looks like when I type rapidly, and it is buggy and frustrating.
I am desperate need a big space bar because I'm keeping typing the wrong thing. Please let us configure our SPACE BAR.
I often hit the Spacebar with my right finger, which in landscape mode is little bit harder to reach. I was wondering if there could be a personalization where you could have the option to remove the period(.) in order to make more room for the Spacebar. I think this would be a great option to add since we can use the Spacebar doubletap to insert periods(.) where needed. Thanks for listening, look forward to any improvements you guys make on an already great keyboard.
I always find myself hitting period by accident when going for spacebar. With double tab space (for a period) you don't need it anyways. The larger spacebar would be nice.
Thanks.
Seria una maravilla tener la opción de eliminar el punto que Esta al lado de la barra espaciadora y tener una barra espaciadora más ancha el punto debería de estar más alejado y ello eliminaría la cantidad de errores por pulsaciones de en vez de poner espacio colocar un punto. Por favor eliminen o den la opción de quitar el punto que esta al lado de la barra espaciadora y hacer la barra espaciadora más ancha. Un saludo, Gracias!
Is it possible to make the spacebar a little bit wider? I sometimes find myself hitting the period instead of the space bar. I type pretty quickly on this keyboard and I love it, but I find this my ONLY gripe
Allow the space bar to be larger. I have droid bionic and constantly hit the period by mistake. This is a huge issue for droid users.
Option to remove "? /! " key. I use my right thumb to space and i hit the period a lot.
i have no word cirrection while typing this. Why? I would like to request the ability to change the lay out manually to suit my typing style. For instance i dont use certain keys i woukd like the ability to change them to somdthinh i use more often. Alzo i think the delete key should be in the bottom left. So many times i go to use it and i have to be more persice or i get tbe enter key. Delete should be easy. EspeciLly when im a borrible typer. Ive left thd mistKes in thiz just to show you why i fesl thiz still needs improvementz. Please fix thiz.
Make the. auto predict windows smaller and tighter around. Words and. Widen the spacebar on portrait mode so the period isn't hit all the time (droid x) in 2.2 gingerbread first unit
I am constantly hitting full stop (period) instead of the space bar and I find it infuriating. This, and the fact that the numbers are on the left-hand side instead of the top row, are the only reasons why I have stopped using this as my default keyboard.
I never use the speech/settings key so how about we have the option to remove this and the question mark key and put them on the numbers page instead?
In my opinion the default ICS keyboard has the best layout by far so this, combined with the SwiftKey predictions, would be the best keyboard ever.
Tijdens het typen maak je vaak. De fout om de punt. In te drukken. Bij het toetsen bord van. Apple he.b je dat. Niet.
You should add some other themes, and enlarge the space key because is too Small and Most of times I press the dot instaed of the space :)
it would be nice with more settings. Forexample dot and question mark is useles for me. i accidentaly hitting them and i need a larger spacebar.
By the way best keyboard. i tried every single one
Love it, but the space button really is abit small. I keep pressing periods
The spacebar is way too narrow. I keep pressing the ". " instead and it drives me crazy.
I was wondering if you guys could offer a key customization option. i.e. being able to remove buttons we dont use, ? as well as the "swiftkey options" button. This keyboard is great, but could be perfect if the spacebar were bigger and removing those keys would hit the spot!
Allow both punctuation keys to be hidden to make spacebar longer. Double tapping spacebar inserts period (already an option), long press spacebar inserts question mark. Wahlaa, more accurate punctuation and more accurate spacebar!
When I'm typing I keep hitting the period key. Please allow and option to remove that key and extend the spacebar
Space bar size change.
Spacebar more bigger
simply put, the spacebar needs to be longer to avoid typing. like. this. as. it. gets. annoying. and. doesn't. flow. smoothly.
I find myself constantly pressing the punctuation keys instead of space by accident. If there was a way to disable them, I'd be able to type even faster and even without looking.
Please option to remove the voice button to make the space button wider.
Allow users to resize or reposition the spacebar. This would compensate for the screen not being in the center of the phone when in the landscape orientation
Could we please have a standard layout options, so that keys are not next to each other but little space in between. I would never change this keyboard cuz the way it is fastening my typing is incredible, but it could just look better. Also, I'm really often pressing "period" instead of spacecraft, sometimes annoying.
Hello,
I find myself hitting the period key constantly instead of the spacebar. I use more than 5 other keyboards, and this is the only one that has that problem. Perhaps giving an option to make the period or comma keys smaller would help facilitate this idea.
Thanks,
Matt!
In the menu you can add an option to enlarge the spacebar which is really small
Make spacebar bigger by eliminating punctuation
Hi...I've bought your keybord...it's fantastic...but I've a terrible problem with last line..there are too much buttons.. and often I push "." Instead the space bar!! Can you fix it?! Maybe make the space bar just a bit more long?
Sorry for my English...and thanks for the attention... luca
Please take off the arrows if i have the display on the hightt off. And make a bigger spacebar. Thx Jan
Give the option to remove the buttons around the spacebar and increase the length of the spacebar.
Please make the space bar longer and options to hide voice key and letters/symbols above keyboard.
Take the. Question mark from the. First page, and make the. Barspace bigger
I constantly hit B or period.between each. Word it would be great to have a larger spacebar by making the enter button smaller and get rid of the question mark
I recently switched from swiftkey to ics keyboard for one main reason. I kept hitting period instead of the space bar. The ics keyboard gives you the option to have an alongated space key (remove settings and voice keys) and that fixed my problem perfectly. Wish you guys would put that option in sk.
In the Internet browser when entering a web address or when pressing the dedicated search key they keyboard that comes up has a spacebar that is cut in half with a ". Com" key. This is a problem for me and others because I often use the address bar to search things on google I end up pressing the ". Com" key everytime I need to press space. It would be great to change the layout of the keyboard in the setting or change the position of the ". Com" key.
Thanks!!
I use my right thumb to hit the space bar, and most of the times i ended up hitting the "." instead the space bar. Maybe we could change the size of it, or maybe move some keys along with each one preferences. In my case a would move the "." key to the left so the space bar would align more to the right. It'll improve my typing.
The spacebar needs to be longer because I keep hitting the period when pressing the spacebar.
1090 votes has been cast on the old topic, which it seems the SwiftKey team can't read. It can't be true that a "company" would ignore its paying users requests :-)
Keyboard spacebar size is small. Why not delete the question mark! And keep the period key next to the enter key.
Other enhancements : we don't need support and share buttons also settings button on mic button. While driving it is hard to keep holding the button. Make it the default action please.
Enter button and space bar button sizes should be bigger than they are. COMA PERIOD AND QUESTION MARKS are not necessarily have to be all on the main screen
Last suggestion: auto capitol is hard to use. I use backspace and auto capitol triggered when I hit the shift button to get rid of it, I have to hit twice because first hit makes the every character capitol size and second brings back the regular size screen. Please make it one hit solution.
The period and question mark should beoptional on the main keyboard screen. Extending the space bar to the enter key would be better.
Change location of period key or expand space bar. I alwayd have an issue when pressing the space bar and the period inserts instead.
Option to disable and remove the setting/voice key for more space for a longer space bar.
Need longer spacebar, make bottom alt keys smaller instead. Very easy to mistakenly hit period key instead.
Need longer spacebar, make bottom alt keys smaller instead. Very easy to mistakenly hit period key instead.
I wished I had the option to remove the "." key (and have it just by tapping the spacebar twice), I would also love to remove the SwiftKey/VoiceInput key, it's completely useless to me and I think most of your users.
Could you please, as there is an option to dot by double tapping the space bar, add an option to remove the dot key and expand the spacebar?
Longer spacebar and adjustable keyboard height And maybe newer keyboard sounds... Like iphone or samsung
I continually press the incorrect key in lieu of the spacebar. SwiftKey forgives incorrect keyboard entries by figuring out the intended key via the context, except in the case of the spacebar, which is a bit of a stretch for either thumb. To extend the width, allow the settings/voice button to disappear for those who don't talk to their phone and know how to find settings via the standard navigation means.
The space bar is tiny in portrait mode. I often end up hitting the .com button. Maybe make the space bar bigger by combining it with the .com button? Make it so if you long press on the space bar the .com button will be the alternate
Widen space bar, optionally, by suppressing "? " and ", " keys. Most of my typos come from the wrong press of "? " and ", " keys.
Makebl the space bar a little bit longer and very much taller, i keep hitting "v" and "b" instead of the space bar.
Please make the space key a little wider or do something since I press the period key too many times while typing fast.
The space key is too small, and the delete key is to big.
I would like to be able to turn the period keys off and expand the keyboard.
When I'm typing, I only ever use my right thumb to hit space bar, and I often accidentally hit the period key instead of the spacebar. The spacebar definitely needs to be wider for me, and I wouldn't sacrificing the punctuation keys so that I could have a wider spacebar. I really wouldn't mind going to a separate menu, or long-pressing one punctuation key, just because I accidentally insert a period so often.
Additionally, I already use the option to double tap space for the period key, so the period key is kind of redundant unless I need to insert a right parenthesis, which is a lot less often than the times I accidentally insert a period rather than a space.
Because I'm accidentally pressing the '.' way too often...
SwiftKey 3 has a new layout which includes a longer spacebar – you can get it from here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.touchtype.swiftkey
Finally :) a larger spacebar is featured in the new SwiftKey 3 Beta! We’d love for you to try it out and let us know what you think. Please sign up at vip.swiftkey.net (Beta is available for a limited time only) – http://vip.swiftkey.net/index.php?/topic/3375-swiftkey-3-beta-download-phone
We are looking into ways to increase the spacebar size without compromising on main page functionality – we’ll let you know when we have more news.
This suggestion is now under review. Thanks for your input and watch this space for more updates :-)

You should check out the new beta. The Spacebar is much larger. Getting rid of the period (full stop) with the double space feature will only work at the end of a sentence. It will not work for abbreviations or decimals. It also triggers auto capitalization, so if it is used for anything besides a full stop, it will create capitalization errors as well.
You can get the beta here:

Merge the period and question mark keys together, like they were in the beta...and remove the Swiftkey quick settings key. This should help open up some screen real estate for a longer spacebar.

We won't be occupying the entire bottom row of the keyboard with the spacebar. However, we will be making the spacebar longer. I'll merge your vote accordingly.

I just switched from the beta to swiftkey X and I find it a bit of a misleading ad on your part...
My keyboard is completely different now, while I just took the time to adjust to swiftkey beta...I understood from previous comments that a release date is unknown.. But I would love the functionality to be present... As if predictions were not disabled in the beta! The annoying pop-up said: "upgrade for predictions" and not:"upgrade predictions and be forced to a different keyboard.. "
I uninstalled the beta as the X installer nicely cleans.. Should I have kept the beta install? We're predictions activated again and did I simply misunderstood?
Sincerely,
an admirer of the product? -

I was using. Beta and loved the longer spacebar. I got a message to purchase he full version, and I did. Now I'm using Swiftkey X and it seems like the longer spacebar and the longpress punctuation key is gone? Am I missing something, or have the awesome new features been removed?

The spacebar is still not good or long enough. All other keyboards in the options have the ability to hide buttons such as period, comma, question mark, even tour swift key button. I don't think the this helps much at all unfortunately. I'm still pressing the period by accident.

I find the large spacebar helps a lot, but b and v detection could still use some work. e.g. if I typed hellobthere, the default autocorrect when i hit space is set to "hello b there" instead of "hello there". If I typed hellovthere it doesn't recognize that it's an error at all.
I also wish tap-to-correct would actually work too - it should correct the whole word, not what's to the left of the cursor!

The long space bar isn't the root of the problem. The problem is people accidently hitting punctuation keys or bottom row characters when they want a space. Since the predictions are MUCH better in the beta I think it's much better to have dedicated punctuation keys and account for the missed spaces with the predictions.

We don't provide release dates for upcoming versions of software. This is because final tweaks sometimes push back the delivery date a bit. When it's ready, it will arrive. In the meantime, you're free to check out the Beta on our VIP Forum.
