How can we improve SwiftKey Tablet?

Disable "space-after-period". This is especially annoying when entering data (5. 2, etc..)

Make the space-after-period optional or intelligent...

        My user ID for work and Internet banking has periods in it and it is a pain to backspace.

        Also, every other device does not do this therefore everyone is so use to placing a space after the period that the automatic space stuffs up more often then not.

        Correct English has two spaces after the period whereas this keyboard places random predictive text when you type period space.

        I'm disappointed this still isn't fixed. My email address has periods in it and this infuriates me every time I try to type it in.

        I wish they would , man up, own up and fix this issue. if they did, I would resume using this product.

        Bah, i came here looking for a way to fix this & see that there's four pages of complaints and no acknowledgement that is' tan actual problem.

        It's a problem - all we need is an option to disable it....sheeesh.

        So, are you going to make it optional for us? After all this comments, I think you should.

      • AndrewAndrew commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        This is not enough not every Web address is www! It's a deal breaker have to not buy after the beta. Why not make it an option to turn off??

        unfortunately this does nothing to help swiftkey adding spaces after periods in email addesses that include periods like firstname.mi.lastname. the only way im even able to post this is with NOT using swiftkey.

        This shouldn't be listed as an idea. I call this a blocking bug! All the prediction stuff never works anyway, so why force it?

      • ValVal commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        Just tested it does the same for text messages......

        @Sarah Reynolds its still does, at least in citrix receiver it does. An guess what you have to type when you set up Citrix Receiver . Its an FQDN!!! Please add the option to turn this nonsense off or just remove it.

        Hi Sarah, thanks for meeting users half way - but please go the whole hog and add an option to disable auto insertion of spaces after non alphabetical characters. This is obviously still a major gripe with your user base. Keep up the good work.

      • hhhh commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        I am going to uninstall this crap. my email has 2 punctuations before @ which makes it a pain to enter

      • TooToo commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        Fully agree with these comments. Same issue with spaces after a hyphen. Switching to another keyboard and leaving a low rating. Hope this gets fixed.

      • Chris Sattler Chris Sattler commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        I have two periods in my email address before the @. After typing the first period SwiftKey inserts a space after the period. I delete it but when I enter the second period SwiftKey reinsert the space after the first period. This is so annoying I have to turn off SwiftKey as my default keyboard. Please just give us a option to turn off auto insertion of spaces!!!!

      • Vinny Vinny commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        Please remove space after period, or at least an option to turn it off!

      • Tiago Cruz FerreiraTiago Cruz Ferreira commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        Yep, my email address has dots between words and it's a pain in the ass to remember to delete those spaces after dots.

      • AdamAdam commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        It's not only for numbers. I always have to use backspace to remove the space after the last period. I'd rather that the space be added when I type the next letter, not immediately after hitting period.

        Im from Indonesia.. N to be honest,, this auto space is annoying.. I believed that not only in here, but other ppl at different countries are also think the same.. So pls understand that if u want our opinion, listen and realize that our opinions make u guys will be better... At least u can put an option to turn on/off the auto space...

        I would love for the period . to not left-align to the word if I type a number after it! I try to type "measures .534" but it comes out "measures. 534". Very annoying.
