add navigation arrows / cursor keys on tablet version
Please add the arrow keys to the tablet version
Cursor keys that appear at the bottom by swiping the space bar upward... Like the Gingerbread keyboard app
It's often difficult to place the cursor just where you need to with android devices for some reason, a set of readily accessible cursor keys would be really useful.
No Arrow Keys on Transformer Prime
Hi there.
Wonderful app. However, even on my 10" Asus transformer, positioning the cursor precisely in text is still uneasy. Please, add the option to have arrow keys for tablets as you have on phones. Thanks.
Add the option for arrow key to the tablet version.
the smartphone Version has got cursors.
Similar to bluetooth keyboards it would be nice to have cursor keys right at your fingertips when editing text. Or make it optional at the least.
I use my ASUS tablet also for taking notes and it bites that moving the cursor to a different location in the text can only be done by using your fingertips. Positioning the cursor exactly where you want it, is fairly bothersome at times and reduces productivity to nothing.
This is one of my favorite wishes. The keys could even be on a secondary page.
keyboard that has aN option for a row keys
Arrows are so very handy and are in your trial, which was a big selling feature for me. I write a lot, it's so difficult and wasteful of time to try to get the cursor where I need it without the arrows.
No option for arrows under 'themes' in my updated paid-for version. I use LePan tablet (pre ice-cream version)
I can get the arrows on swift key 3 for my phone but not for swift key tablet. It's not in the settings.
Add arrows to Tablet keyboard.
Hi,
just a short question: on my Android Phone (Samsung Galaxy Note), SwiftKey has 4 arrow-keys (up, down, left and right) which make it easy to move the cursor in the desired direction easily.
On my tablet (Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1), however, these 4 Keys are (still) missing from the tablet-Version of SwiftKey.
Could you possibly include those 4 keys in one of your next update(s)?
Thank you very much indeed,
kind regards,
Thomas.
Please add the arrow keys for the tablet version
Bring arrow keys to move the cursor like in the mobile phone version
Please add to the thumb-Keyboard (in the Middle next to the numbers Keys) the arrow Keys!
.. and I will buy the full version
Add arrow keys to SwiftKey 3 for the tablet
My galaxy nexus has the option to have direction arrows on the main keyboard. I use it so much, I miss it on the tablet version. It would just be a nice feature to have back. Please.
Can't seem to get arrow keys to show up in the tablet version
This option is available in the standard SwiftKey but not the tablet version.
I Have little problem with fingers and i bought swiftkey because arrow keys help me a lot, please fix asap.
For use on a tablet, there is pleanty of room for arrow keys - especially the split keyboard.
cursor keys on the main screen in the tablet app
Please add arow keys.
Steven ry jarring to move to my tablet from the my phone without the arrow keys.
Tablet version is missing the arrow keys. What happened?
No found in theme tab the arrow key option.
Add cursor keys to the first keyboard layer (like in non tablett version) not only in the third layer. Even on tabletts cursor keys are very often much easier to use then the touch screen positioning.
The title says it all.
The phone app has arrow keys, but the tablet app does not. I use them all the time because often I want to edit something I've written and it's a real PITA trying to edit without them.
I can't find a way to add the arrows to the portrait keyboard.
Placing cursor with that green markers is a pain in the a%&.
Without arrow keys text correction with this keyboard is a hard work.
Please add arrow keys. In the thumb layout there is plenty of room for that.
Is it possible to use the arrow keys in the tablet version? Please let me know
Tablets such as the Transformer Prime need arrow cursor movement keys perhaps MORE than phones, as we do a lot of text entry. Please add them as an option similar to SwiftKey X.
I'm using the samsung galaxy 7.0 plus and I have been using it on the HTC evo 4g and the arrow keys always come in handy for people with big thumbs. Even the the samsung galaxy 7.0 plus is a bit bigger i still have problems moving the cursor to the right position. Even as i type this entry I find that I really miss it in the tablet version of your app. Hope to see it included in this version.
Please include arrows for tablet. Is one of the main reasons I paid AGAIN for the tablet version coming from phone version.
1.arrow keys, 2.style sync with whatsapp, 3.in german mode i would live to Have the ä, ö, über as first choice After long press
I have purchased both phone and tab app. I feel that the arrow keys should be available on both products.
Place arrow through keys on keyboard
Eventhough cursor can be positioned with touch screen, not very accurate, as letters are small
More than any other feature these arrow keys have been requested but the developer's attitude is pathetic. Make it an option at least, this keyboard has next to zero personalization.
REVAMP. Add Arrow Keys: IDEAS: left arrow left of A key, right arrow right of L key. Up and Down are least used so they can be placed in just 2 large keys in center or wherever else is convenient. OR keys in center, having Left and Up on one side with right and down on the other.
Maybe remove most of tabbing on middle row if arrow key idea 1 isn't used. Key width size adjust. Long press shld default at 350ms. Space after predictions should be optional. Move the keyboard style switch to settings or a long press. Maybe get some ideas from thumb keyboard. It's tablet version is slightly better. It sounds like most people wld be happy with these adjustments.
Swiftkey for tablets is missing an option for arrow keys to move the cursor.
First, bring the arrow key option to Tablet X. You still need arrow keys when you are using a 7" screen. The keys should be as tall as the regular keys. Second, make an Extra Large option for keyboard height. The Extra Large option (tall rectangles) should have a keyboard height that takes up 50% of the screen with a resolution of 600x1024 in portrait mode. This includes the suggestion bar and the arrow keys in the height. The prediction of SwiftKey destroys all other keyboards on the market, but why are you ok with me having all of this extra stress on my hands when I type on my 7" because the keyboard is too low? Either I have to change my grip to lower my thumbs which is unnatural as balance point is not centered any longer or I have to shift my thumbs back toward my wrists which creates a lot of stress on my thumb muscles while I type.
FAQ says go to settings to turn on arrow keys. Tried to do that, but the option is missing
Just to go back and forth a few characters in case of corrections.
Please could you include a "arrow key" option like the phone version. This will make the product much more useful for my Motorola Xoom.
The phone version has an option to always display arrow keys. This would be a great bonus for the tablet
There's plenty of room between the letters and the numbers in SK Tablet X. Please let us put arrow keys on the home keyboard screen, like we can on our phone keyboards. Navigating text fields is a joke without them.
Add arrow keys like there is for the mobile version. In tablets it's has a higher value because there is no scroll buttons. Just typing this suggestion took me 15 minz because of the scrolling issues on my galaxy tab 10.1.
Please add option of arrows to bottom of main keyboard in Tablet X, as you did in Swiftkey Phone X. Thanks!
There is room in the split keyboard layout to provide 1 button that would bring up the 4 arrow keys. After 24 hours of use, I have found that I often need the arrow keys. As Swiftkey is designed now, I have to press 2 keys just to get to the arrow keys. Why not place 1 button below the "P" key and to the right of the "L" key that, when pressed, makes the 4 arrow keys appear?
This would be very helpful. Thank you.
I'd like to be able to activate arrow keys on my xoom, since it doesn't have a Trackball.
Why the hell is aren't there any arrow keys for the tablet?
And why is my Dell Streak treated like a tablet.
The beta version of the phone X can be used on the Dell Streak. That is very strange. So I have to stick to the beta version, although I have paid both for the phone and the tablet.
What do you people think?
Navigating with a finger really is too cumbersome.
Archos 101 Froyo. Where have the arrow keys gone? Why would you remove functionality that was in a previous beta?
Hi everyone,
We are working on putting arrow keys into SwiftKey Tablet, and looking into the best way to show arrow keys when using the split layout. We’ll keep you informed as to our progress. In the meantime, you can access arrow keys by tapping the 123 key followed by the {&= key.
Thanks.

This suggestion is now under review. Thanks for your input and watch this space for more updates :-)

Creating this feedback forum, saying a popular feature will be implemented, failing to deliver or update. Could anyone engineer a worse demonstration of contempt for paying customers. I doubt it. 0 stars.

I wish they would just tell us the truth! That they have no intention of implementing arrows on the keyboard! If they did they would have done it by now! They been hoping we'd forget or just drop it and move on!

Ok, this has 2000 more votes than any other request. You say you've been working on it since August. 10 months to implement something that is already in the phone version? WTF?

If I knew tablet version didn't have arrow keys I would never buy it. Not only you sell the same product twice by artificially crippling phone version to not include split layout in landscape, but to add insult to injury you remove functionality that's already implemented in basic phone version - arrow keys that are essential for cursor control... Fool me once, fool me twice... Way to loose customers.

This is unbelievable. By far the most requested feature, pretty simple to implement, and still the developers don't give a damn. I have the phone version, but I won't buy the tablet version until the cursor keys are available.

I would like to add my vote for arrow keys on main screen. Shocking how a small phone gets arrow keys and yet my 10inch screen cannot have arrows. Come on guys it can't be to difficult to add this feature to a tablet with large real estate area to use.

The arrow keys should be right on the left and right of the number keys. LARGE in size since my thumbs have to reach over. The LEFT arrow key on the left side of the numbers keys and the DOWN arrow key under it. And for the right side of the numbers keys, the RIGHT arrow key and the UP arrow key under it. I believe this to be the best position for Tablet devices.
