What if you could long-press on a prediction to get different forms of the word? / word variations / word variants
What if long-pressing on a prediction gave you a menu with different forms of the word. Many times I see SwiftKey predict the right word, but in the wrong form (Ex: predict, predicted, prediction, predicts), and I have to type it out.

Please work on it! It is the only one function what I miss - especially in Hungarian language, where are so many variations of words in inflacted form!

Is it implemented in the latest swiftkey release that supports flow functionality?

FYI - The latest swiftkey beta does allow you to click on a word and has different forms of the word or suggestions. It also automatically jumps to the end of the word clicked so you don't have extra characters left behind when u pick the suggestion. You can either download the beta here:
http://swiftkey.net/flow/Or wait until it's officially released. Since the beta expires Feb 21st 2013 and most of the bugs have been dealt with, I would assume it would be officially released to the Play store around then. I'm just speculating though.

This would eliminate one of the final things about swiftkey 3 that still bugs me to hell. Please implement this!!

What if we can just tap on any part of a word and see horizontal bar of alternatives?
And if 3 suggestions is not enough, make the horizontal bar scrollable to the right, as in Swype Beta? -

This could be implemented like the @ when entering an email address.

An easy way to get different forms of a word (e.g. declination forms) would make Swiftkey even better. It might not be that important for English, but it would improve the user experience for German speakers (like me) a lot.
And I agree with Peter who wrote: "What if it wasn't even a long press, but tap and drag up/down." Maybe some kind of swiping gesture would be better than long pressing on a word to get its different forms. -

Yes please! This would save so much time! At the moment I get as close to the word I want, choose that then press backspace & I am usually given the version of the word I want (or at get closer!)

This would be brilliant, especially for Italian, French and Spanish spekaers... think about all the different forms neolatin words have... a real pain in the you-know-what.
Please take this tip seriously into consideration.

i have used 3 keyboards that do this really just two as two of them are ics stock and jb stock. the other was adaptxt keyboard. i like the way stock ics/jb do it though long press the prediction to bring it up.

Add swiping function to it and it will be the best keyboard ever.

What if it wasn't even a long press, but tap and drag up/down. SwiftKey could even put variants in the box in a lighter color, in a smaller font, and in the background.

I find myself constantly having trouble with predictions containing one form of a word, but not the one I want. This would make my life much easier.

Would like to see a more general/automatic solution to this problem:
- Add a Part-Of-Speech prediction to the word prediction system that is also considering the expected POS.
- When confirming a word and then pressing back to do a correction, should predict other word forms of the same word. More often than not, i just want to correct the ending.

That is a nice feature I would to see added on SwiftKey. The new stock Android keyboard allow this. It is something that I have used on a daily basis, but it would certainly be nice to have it.

In general, it would help to have a longer list of potential guesses (perhaps the current three plus a drop down button to temporarily replace the keyboard with a full list). That would solve this issue as a side benefit.

I thought of this earlier this morning and thought I should contact SwiftKey and let them know about this brilliant idea! Too bad I've been beaten to the punch! This is a great idea.
