      • erase the automatic space after point setting. in www and @ it's annoying to have to cancel it every time. every time sending mail to false

        disable the space after point.
        everytime false mail adresses and so on.
        it's annoying.

        and when i tab in the middle of a word to correct it, after correction with SwiftKey i get 2 words. please take the whole word, it's underlined as one.

        • Add swipe up, down, left, right to the space bar key to allow for easy cursor movement. Add the feature as a setting vs. Changing keyboard

          Most people are probably not changing their keyboard language layout, so quick swiping the space bar is available and would be great to control the cursor without needing arrow keys. Add a setting so you could switch between changing keyboard layout or space bar based cursor control.

              • Please improve SwiftKey by adding more themes to the keyboards please!

                Hi SwiftKey! Please improve SwiftKey by adding more themes to the keyboards! I've been a user of SwiftKey for a while and the themes we have get boring. New themes and more themes will appeal to more customers new or old. Please consider! Thank you!

                  Mostly I using vk messaging, it will be great if SwiftKey would be able to learn from it.

                    • AutoDetect tablets which have a keyboard docked (physically or bluetooth) and disable the prediction bar to save space.

                      Having a keyboard makes typing so much faster, typos or not, and that makes the prediction bar unnecessary. The prediction bar only serves to take up valuable real estate at that point

                      We don't have a prediction bar when typing emails or word documents on desktops, think how annoying that would be to have a have spell-check box constantly active.

                      Please allow SwiftKey to detect keyboards and disable the prediction bar when they are being used.

                      Thanks!

                          Bring back the the smiley faces and punctuations in the suggestion box just like Swiftkey 3. Now sure why punctuations are removed from the suggested words. I use it so much thinking about going back to swiftkey3.

                          • Disabling autocaps should also apply to predictions

                            When I type "hello there steve" it gets autocorrected to "Hello there Steve" because the predictions for "hello" and "steve" are both capitalized (spacebar is set to complete the current word). If AutoCaps is disabled, predictions should also be modified to match the current case (or there should at least be an option for this behaviour).

                            In other words, with AutoCaps disabled:
                            If I type "steve", the prediction should be "steve".
                            If I press shift, then type "Steve", the prediction should be "Steve"
                            If I press shift twice, then type "STEVE", the prediction should be "STEVE"

                            • change auto-correct after period punctuation

                              when you choose your own spelling (overriding Swift Key suggestions) and then add a period (or other punctuation), Swift Key automatically reverts to its suggestion.

                              Ex. if I type 'howdy' and it's not in SwiftKey. I enter 'howdy' and choose it above to keep my spelling. I then add an exclamation point: "howdy[choose my spelling]!" as soon as I try to add the exclamation, it reverts back to "how" or whatever SwiftKey thought I was trying to type. This works the same if I typed "howdy," "howdy." It is extremely frustrating and the only way to undo it is by…

                                • Prevent autocorrection of words that do not need to be corrected.

                                  When I type a word with no errors, and make sense in context, sometimes it will be corrected to another word that it thinks will be more appropriate. I would like an option to only correct simple typos, and not alter correct words entirely.

                                    • Have an option to disable next word prediction and only show auto correct suggestions

                                      Simply the option to disable next word prediction and only keep auto correction suggestions would be nice. Also, having more than 3 suggestions at a time would go a long way in not having to waste time retyping things.

                                        The present Swiftkey is the best keyboard for android in market.

                                        The user must be given an option to choose between Swiftkey Flow and this new BlackBerry Z10 keyboard style of typing...!!!
                                        Its gonna blow the minds of other dev's keyboards in the market at present...!!!!!!!!!!!

                                        Please take into consideration my request for improving Swiftkey...!!!
                                        I'm happy to be a part of developing and improving the best keyboard ever....!!!!!!
