    • 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.

          • Spaces between words should only appear when you start typing the next one

            When you use flow or touch a prediction it inserts the word and a space. Any other keyboard around, including stock Android and Swype do it differently: put spaces when you start typing the next word.
            This simple change would solve a lot a problems. Every time it autocompletes login username, you have to backspace to remove the extra space. Every time you end a phrase with some punctuation you have to backspace, so the phrase won't t have one extra character at the end.

            And well, it seems just obvious... You only need a space when you write something…

                    • Configure the "@" key when entering email addresses

                      When I am entering an email in a browser, and I press and hold the "@" key, the only options are @hotmail.com, @yahoo.com or @gmail.com. A nice feature, I think, is to allow the user to configure the emails they use and delete the ones they don't use.

                        • Emoticons?

                          I sincerely love the new "pitch" theme. I look forward to future themes and updates. However, would the addition of iphone emoticons be possible?

                            • Google search engine as spellcheck backend

                              Implement a spellcheck option.
                              Such as when the option is enabled, the current word is Googled and if a "Showing results for" answer is returned, then display that answer as one of the the SwiftKey suggestion words.
                              (Perhaps highlighted red to indicate spelling-fix?)
                              (Perhaps also provide additional option for choice of engine? Google/Bing/WolframAlpha/Static-file?)

                                      • Allow users to select between Previous Word / Next Word prediction

                                        Stock 4.2 Keyboard and Swype use the prediction bar to let you correct your previously typed word.
                                        I usually wish the SwiftKey prediction was focused on the Previous Word instead of trying to predict the next word I would like to type.

                                        Allowing the user to select which type of prediction they prefer would go a long way to making Swiftkey the best keyboard for everyone.
                                        This could either be accomplished through the settings menu, or even implemented as a small toggle button on the left of the prediction menu.

                                        • Symbol and number layout.

                                          Have an option for selecting the number key. Current set up messes with my flow. I'd like it if the symbols and numbers stayed in place.
