    • le dimensioni della tastiera si potrebbero personalizzare a piacimento??

      perché se faccio dimensione verticale piccolo mi viene fuori troppo piccolo. .. sarebbe utile ridimensionare lo spazio che occupa la parte superiore delle lettere....

      • Please add an "Undo" and "Redo" function

        Coming from iPhone this is one of my biggest gripes with Android: no universal undo for typing. But if Android isn't going to do it, maybe Swift Key can. An "Undo" (and potentially also a "Redo") function on the keyboard would go a very long way toward increasing the usability and functionality of this keyboard.

        • Nominate certain words to alway correct

          A funtion that will allow you tell swiftkey which words to always correct and what to correct them to. I.e. I always hit the caps button when typing the word "that" which gives "thT" but it will not autocorrect it. If i could tell swiftkey whenever this word is typed, change it to this word instead automatically. Basically personalizing the autocorrect feature for many mis-typed words

          • Please add an option to see what's on clipboard.

            I sometimes need to copy and paste a lot of things and it can be a pain to switch back and forth so it would be a great help if you add a button to view the clipboard and select what to paste.

              • Maybe a way to temporarily disable and enable auto correct

                Either some sort of gesture or option to disable/enable autocorrect without having to change the preferences.

                • Shift key: switch to lower case

                  Currently, the shift button can switch words to Titlecase, or ALLCAPS. I think it should also be able to switch a word to lowercase.

                  Example 1:

                  Hi Max,
                  How are you?

                  The word 'How' is in a new line, hence SwiftKey automatically writes it upper-case. But, it's in the middle of a sentence. I want it to be lower case. So I'll have to maneuver the cursor on 'H', remove it, and replace it by a lower case 'h'. That's ridiculously complicated.

                  Example 2:

                  Something something to the Max.

                  I meant to type 'to the max'. But, SwiftKey types 'Max'…

                      • Remove Swiftkey from Lockscreen!

                        Yeah, i use my HTC ONE X+ with a beautiful Keyboard, but it isn't so good than SwiftKey. But if i want to unlock my Smartphone, i must use the little Keyboard numbers from Swiftkey. The Keyboard from HTC is on the Lockscreen very big, and very easier to enter the code-

                        Please remove Swiftkey from my Lockscreen for an easy entering of numbers!

                        Thanks

                          • space before period

                            I should be able to hit <space><.> and not have the position of the period changed (among other punctuation that seems to want to move when I just want it to show up). when I do this, no space should go in front of the dot and the next letter shouldn't be capitalized. For instance, if I want to type out a regex: /[^ ] .+/ took way too much effort.

                            • Hyphenated words

                              I'd love to see the app able to deal with hyphenated words. As of now, the best it can do is offer an unhyphenated version of the words. (Like, if I am typing "my ex-girlfriend's apartment" it might offer "ex girlfriend's" and then remove the hyphen!

                              • two finger gestures

                                Since we don't want to mess with flow guessing on words, how about multiple finger gestures to delete words, like two fingers left to delete a word, or two or three fingers down to minimize the keyboard. Both are features I dearly missed in flow. To ensure it's not accidental, real time responsiveness, like slowly highlighting the current word from right to left in red during the deletion gesture, or the keyboard following the user's fingers during the minimization gesture, would be a plus. (And just look way cool.)

                                    • Add the œ

                                      This letter is part of the International Phonetic Alphabet. Personally,I use it often in classical English spellings, as well as ancient languages.

                                      It (œ) could easily be added to the long-press for o or ö.

                                      • Arabic keyboard layout

                                        the Arabic keyboard layout is different from the standard layout which is confusing. please make the order of the keys the same as the standard layout

                                        • Simplify lockscreen password

                                          When having a password on the phone, I dont need billions of characters to clutter up the screen. Why not make it possible to choose a simple solution like iOS that only shows numbers and where no "enter" is needed? I like Swiftkey but the lockscreen itself is possible enough for me not to use this app.
