  1. An "undo " delete function to recover deleted text

    If you delete a paragraph, sentence or any text by mistake or intentionally, then undo button would recover it (like ctrl+z) would be so handy while writing mails on the phone/tablet. Maybe a swiping gesture or an extra addition to the period button.

    • Stop auto correcting swear words

      SwiftKey doesn't recognize the profane language I use. No matter how hard I try it keeps correcting swears into other words. For example: f**k turns into duck. Every time natter what. Please fix this.

        • Split keyboard in landscape further apart and include the numeric keypad like on the tablet version.

          I love SwiftKey but I've been uses to a much smaller phone with a blackberry torch and with the Galaxy S4 my gingers just can't reach the keys as easily. Move the keyboards further apart for larger screen sizes. I adjusted the key height which gives more screen real estate but I'm still stretching to type. If you move the keyboard further apart there may be room for a midscreen numeric key pad just like on the tablet version.

            • 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 make an arrow or some other way to see more predicted words then just three.

                  Samsung keyboard has a small arrow on the right and when you tap it, it opens up a list of predicted words for you to choose from. That would beway bbetter than three words.

                  • Append other forms of punctuation to the end of the last word

                    Keyboard already adds some forms of punctuation (period, comma, end parenthesis, single and double quotation marks) to the end of the last word (eliminating the space), but doesn't do this for other important punctuation - such as the colon, semicolon, hyphen, etc. These should be added.

                      • Make secondary keys activate quicker on long-press

                        For example when we long press Q in order to get 1.... the delay for the 1 to appear makes me inefficient... I would like the secondary key to activate quicker.

                              • Give the option to disable auto-space after punctuation!

                                Is there still no update to this??? I love everything about SwiftKey EXCEPT the auto space after punctuation marks.

                                Settings > Advanced > Spacebar will... > always insert a prediction

                                ^With this setting everytime I put a punctuation mark at the end of a sentence, or in it, it auto-spaces, and when I hit spacebar (strictly out of muscle memory) it inserts the prediction 'I' after periods, and 'and' after commas. It's incredibly frustrating and honestly it hurts my brain trying to tell myself not to hit spacebar after a punctuation mark.

                                Please please please give us the option to…

                                • Easy Switch back to Alphabet input mode with spacebar

                                  Easy Switch back to Alphabet input mode with spacebar...

                                  Have an option under the space bar functions for automatically switching back to alphabet input mode when you hit space bar on the number screen.

                                  Great explanation of idea here: http://samholako.com/2013/04/15/dear-swiftkey/
