        • Question mark needs it's own key.

          long pressing for question mark is annoying.

          • Remove comma from punctuation shortcut key

            I think you should remove the comma from the shortcut since it's already on the left.

              • italics

                Sarcasm font... Perhaps have an italicized button located on main keyboard to designate when you're being sarcastic in a text without having to end everything with an "lol"

                • Bigger keys on keyboards more sensitive

                  • Add multiline text box for composing in SwiftKey

                    Sometimes an app/webpage has a small (single line, perhaps) text box into which you can enter text. It's quite frustrating to have to scroll around and refer to what you wrote earlier.

                    It would be very handy if Swiftkey could provide its own text box (perhaps filling the whole screen) into which you could compose your message. Hitting enter (or exiting edit mode some other way) would then move the text you just composed into the app/site's text box and remove SwiftKeys text box.

                    (This is in portrait mode! I understand that people are complaining about something similar in landscape…

                            • Make landscape letters bigger, while not making the space it uses so big.

                              When you choose to have bigger keys in landscape mode, the character isn't bigger but the space it uses is. Hence, there is little room left to see your message in Gmail for instance.

                              • US international keyboard layout

                                Can you add to external keyboards the US INTERNATIONAL? So we in Italy can use swiftkey with an external US bluetooth keyboard and type accented letters.

                                It will be great.
                                Thanks
                                Marco

                                  • Have a configurable TLD key in the URL keyboard.

                                    Instead of the common .com key, could you make it configurable so the user can select local TLDs to put there (such as .ca in Canada)?

                                    • Give the option to choose whether swiping downwards will close the keyboard or not.

                                      I type really fast, and sometimes it registers as a downwards swipe. Annoying when it happens.
