I noticed in the tutorial for the Samsung keyboard it mentions gestures and a floating keyboard, but I can't find anything about it online or the forums. I must be missing something.

I find smart keyboard pro one of the best (with swiftkey and swype) keyboard on the android market. But there's something that it's really annoying with that:
when t9 keyboard in fullscreen is on you won't be able to enable t9 in search form
if this is bugging you as well I created a bug in the bugs tracker: http://bugs.smartkeyboardpro.com/view.php?id=213
a post in the forum http://www.dexilog.com/smartkeyboar...3&p=3753&sid=bf70a999d6422b615cea5b9893c2d65a
thanks
I can't believe you can't tab in Swype anymore. How are you supposed to do lists of lists? Or anything hierarchical?
Holding down space now brings up a language selector instead of doing a tab. Even the tab key is gone from the edit keyboard. I don't know what to do now, seriously, the older apks that have tab don't work anymore in Google Drive.
I tried TouchPal and SlideIt. Neither have tabs. TouchPal perhaps used to: website says slide left on spacebar, but that just switches off prediction.
Is there any Swype-like keyboard left for geeks?
I am picking up a 10.1 and would like to run CM on it. The only thing that I think I will miss the lack of handwriting recognition. Is there an app that will replace this functionality for me. Thanks.
There are some keyboards apps like swype which have pen input.
There is a ported keyboard ' LG keyboard ' which supports pen input..
I have tested many of them but none of them are even close to what samsung keyboard gives.. For pen input , samsung is the best and I was surprised how accurate it was then i first used it.
However no one has been able to port samsung keyboard to asop roms yet.
hello, how come swipe does not work for symbolic and numeric keys?
I also found that swpie does not work when running two apps side by side. Is this a bug?
Which two apps, which one is active and what style of keyboard are you using at the time?
As for symbols, I've never done swiping when using symbols so I have no idea. My first reaction to your initial question was "Is swipe using symbols even supposed to work at all? Given that swipe is a form of predictive text input how would the keyboard predict anything if you're not spelling words since it's all symbols?"
I can't use Swpie on numeric keys as well. Why swipe needs to be predictive? I use Samsung's virtual keyboard which came with the Note Pro? I don't remember the two apps. Will let you know latter.

I'm going to go out on a limb here because I primarily use stock keyboards on my Nexus 4 and this tablet. It's been a few months since I've used other keyboards such as Swiftkey which also supports swipe input . . . In any event my understanding of swipe input based on the keyboards that I have used is this: the keyboard application analyzes the locations that your finger is stopping at and the directions in which your finger moves from each stopping point in order to predict the word that you are attempting to spell. The word that you are attempting to spell has to be in the dictionary of the language you have the keyboard application set to. If it isn't, the keyboard will not recognize the word and will therefore not predict it.
As an example; on both my phone and my Note Pro I have the keyboard language is set to English US. If I attempt to swipe the letters X-Y-L-E-C on the keyboard, which is just jibberish and not a real word in the english dictionary, the keyboard will not recognize this swipe pattern as a word and will attempt to predict something completely different (my tablet writes the word "clef" instead).
So what I'm saying is, how would the keyboard application know to string together a particular order of special characters?
Your answer is likely to be that it should know based upon where you pause with your fingers and you're right except that this isn't exactly how swipe was designed. Swipe is meant to allow you to minimize how long you need to pause. If you start at the letter T, swipe down rapidly to H and rapidly change direction towards E you need not stop exactly on the E key in order to have the keyboard predict the word "THE".
Thanks. I am using the stock Samsung virtual keyboard (US English) that came with the PRO 12.2. Trying to input things like muzzy996 using swipe does not work.
Yeah, it's working as intended.
What irritates me about the stock keyboard is unlike Swiftkey it does not seem to allow for addition of a word into the dictionary easily and there is no obvious way to manage the dictionary.
This is really bothersome for me because in my writing for work I often use technical terms that are not in the default dictionary and I use these terms frequently in documents or emails. The predictive nature of the keyboard does not seem to learn my frequently typed words well at all.
I've just switched back to Swiftkey and will probably try using that for a bit to see if I like it more than the stock keyboard.
Which version of SwiftKey of you use? Mine is SwiftKey Tablet 4.4.6.275. Swipe (called flow in SwiftKey) does not work. It seems that they have version 4. Worth to upgrade?
I was using version 4.4.6.275. I believe they unified versions now, I'm not using the one for tablets (which I believe is now marked as legacy in the play store). In any case I have switched back to stock. SwiftKey is buggy when multi window is used. Often times the keyboard vanishes when typing in a window. Hopefully they fix this but I'm not sure when they will, I see posts about it in their support website that are a few months old.

Hi guys!
So, LOS 19 comes with the new AOSP Keyboard 12. I like my phone keyboards simple and basic, so I usually disable all extra functions like auto correction, word suggestions etc.
The keyboard also features an emoji button. Now, I could not find an option to disable that button anywhere in the settings. Has anybody found a way to disable that emoji button in the new version of the AOSP keyboard? In the past, on older versions, there just was a setting you could tick, and the emoji button would be gone.
Obviously I know that I could just change keyboard to e.g. GBoard, and I already tried that, but I like the style of the new AOSP keyboard, and also how it interacts with the systtem wallpaper, so I'd like to keep it. Still, I oftentimes accidentally hit the emoji button while typing, which is a little annoying.
Thanks in advance!
P.s.: There is an emoji option for external hardware keyboards, but that has nothing to do with the on-screen-one, sadly.
Hi Spaceoid,
have you ever found the solution?
Sadly no, not on LOS 19 and not on LOS 20. AOSP keyboard is opening still so crisply that I did not really find a good replacement either, so I chose to live with it...
