I like using the stock Samsung keyboard app on the Note 5 because of the SPen detection that switches it to handwriting. However, I hate the fact it does not have swype/flow capability. My S6 had a Samsung keyboard with swype/flow built in as an option (with no handwriting option obviously).
Does anyone know of a suitable alternative? Is there a different keyboard from a previous Note device that works better I could install? I'm waiting for the Note 7 keyboard to leak but have not seen it yet. Not sure if it would have these options. I also tried Google's handwriting keyboard but found that switching between typing and handwriting is a chore.

It does.
With the on-screen keyboard visible, hold down on the button to the right of the "Sym" key. Tap the gear icon to go to the keyboard settings. (Or go to Settings > Language and input > Samsung keyboard)
Scroll down until you see "Keyboard swipe" and change that to "Continuous input".
That setting does not exist for me in settings. If you have a Note 5 give me a screen shot. As you can see below that option is missing.

It's higher up than that, up in the "Smart typing" section.

Odd. Here is the upper part of that menu and that setting is non-existent. Not sure what to make of this. Are you running Android 6.0.1? What version of Samsung keyboard are you running?
I am on 6.0.1, but that should not matter, as this feature has been available since the phone's release.
Samsung keyboard 1.1.16. If you haven't tried clearing data for the Samsung keyboard app, try that.
Have you disabled any apps?

Only things disabled are SVoice app, Google photos, and Verizon Cloud app.
I am also running 1.1.16 verion of the keyboard. Tried clearing data and settings also.

Hi I'm running cleanrom which is just the stock sense rom debloated from VZ apps. I have Swype+Dragon 1.6.2 installed and was using it for a while. Then I turned it off at one point but now when I turn it back on it never gets activated and all I get is the Sense keyboard. When I long press in a text box, I still don't get a choice to pick a keyboard. How do I re-enable swype as my default keyboard? Thanks in advance.

Go to Language and Keyboard in settings and activate Swype from there (set to ON.) Then you will be able to select it.

That's exactly what I did and I still only get the Sense keyboard.

Go into your App Manager section and disable Sense Input.
Debating getting this but which of these behaviours does this device follow?
Galaxy S5 / stock Android behaviour: connecting USB / BT keyboard just works.
TouchWiz 4.0 - 4.3 / Galaxy Note 8.0 on 4.4.2 behaviour: connecting USB / BT keyboard force changes software keyboard to stock Samsung Keyboard app.
Currently using SwiftKey with my Note Pro which previously had bugs/issues but now seems to work rather well. I just started this reply in Tapatalk and plugged in a USB keyboard using a USB 3.0 OTG cable and it works fine. The only issue I see is that the predictive text bar is still showing at the very bottom of my screen. Odd behavior but at least it's not defaulting to the stock Samsung Keyboard as you're describing in your behavior #2.

Thank goodness, the force switch behaviour has been annoying as heck. When I saw my S5 doesn't share it, I was hoping that most devices launched on Kit Kat might act normally.

There's a setting in some keyboard apps to control whether or not to display that when using a physical keyboard but I'm not sure whether or not SwiftKey has a thing to turn that off. I think it used to have a off switch but I might be thinking of another app.
Using the Logitech K801 BT keyboard & Swiftkey as default: (p905 LTE International.)
Just connected it, it leaves Swiftkey as default.

It does this:
Clicking on the 'Choose Input Method' brings up this menu.
And when I turn the on-screen keyboard on, this appears. Note the Swiftkey icon in the bottom left. (Droidedit doesn't support predictive text)
(Yes I changed the theme.)
Hi all
Got my Note 20 Ultra this morning, come back to Samsung after moving to Huawei a few years ago.
Something really bugging me is no emoji key on the samsung keyboard ?
Am I missing something or is how it is now ?
While messing with keyboard settings the other day I saw an option to turn on bitmoji stuff giphy stuff and possibly Emoji I don't remember where but it's in settings somewhere under language and input

If the toolbar is missing, go into the keyboard settings and turn it on.

Samsung keyboard hasn't had this for a few years.
If you turn the toolbar off, to get emojis, you hold down the comma key and choose the emoji icon froma list of icons.

Hang on, I just found how to do it for you :silly:
I use GBoard so I didn't know...but I've just found it while going through it. It's all tucked away. You turn off the toolbar in keyboard settings. Then long press the comma, and choose the emoji icon. This sets that left key as the emoji key. It just means that to get a comma, you need to long press theperiod key.
So I use OfferUp and Mercari a lot. (Buying and selling apps, like craigslist and eBay). I've noticed after the most recent Samsung November update, when I have a private message with someone in either one of those apps the swiping feature on both Gboard and Samsung keyboards doesn't work. I have to peck at the keyboard to type.
It still works on other apps, for example when I'm swiping here. I've checked all kinds of settings and I don't see anything that would fix it. It seems to be similar how you can't swipe when entering a password. The keyboards can detect when it's a password field and disabled swipe but it's now doing it within these apps for private messages. I hope this makes sense.
I'm just looking for a fix below I cannot stand typing on a keyboard without swiping.
Works for me. lol

I'm having the same issue. Did you ever find a solution?
I have the same problem. No solutions. Another annoying feature from the update is that in all messaging apps i see completely random words and phrases underlined as a maps link. Wtf
I'm trying to change the default calling app on either my Tablet (Vankyo Z1) or Phone (Note 20 Ultra) to use Talkatone. I Understand Android doesnt seem to allow this switch in general, but can it be done with rooting or custom rom? Ive noticed that this seems to be universal, but no real reason why it is set this way and unadjustable. Any help is appreciated.
AFAIK Vanco Z1 is running Android 8.1 and Note 20 Utra is running Android 13.
Nevertheless, on both devices , without further ado , to change your default calling app / dialer, you
Open Settings.
Select Apps or search for Default apps in the Search bar.
Open Default apps. On some skins, you can find Default apps settings under the 3-dots menu.
Open Phone or Dialer.
Select the app you prefer as your default by toggling it.

Thanks so much for the reply! But on both of my devices, no other calling apps are available in the final part of your instructions. I noticed the "set default apps" on the app menu, however when it comes to the phone, there are no other options. I assume this is a block by the system, do you know how I may overcome this?
