I am using the stock keyboard and am going mad at the fact that I don't have the commer sign available to me on the keypad unless I hit the symbol button or keep my finger on full stop This is crazy.i would of thought if I change the settings to double tap space bar the full stop would then be a commer sign.
Can anyone help. Am I missing something really simple here
Update: Stock keyboard has a custom button.

No, you aren't missing anything, that's how weird the stock keyboard is. Use Swype man.
That's how the stock keyboard functions. You long press on the period button on the right to get the symbols. Pressing space bar twice will get you a period (if you turned it on in settings)

Yes, a dedicated comma key would be great.
I prefer the way that the period button functions on the Swiftkey keyboard. You long press and more punctuation options come up, once you select the one you want, it disappears and you can keep typing. It's unobtrusive and doesn't interrupt your flow.
I like using the Samsung keyboard though because I can switch between typing and swiping without changing any settings.
I find common words quicker to swipe, but uncommon words quicker to tap out, in terms of not having the prediction engine insert the wrong word.
But my stock keyboard has a customizable key, which has the ability to be made into a comma button?

Ah! I didn't even notice that. I had just been using it to switch voice input on and off
But I use the comma a lot more :good:
Thanks.

Good tips.. I was having the same frustration. Too bad there isn't 2 custom buttons as the question mark is used quite often too.

I see the suggestions but when I press the space bar it wont insert the suggested word. I have looked everywhere to turn this on. Any ideas? This is the Sprint version.
It doesn't work on any Note 2 at the moment, not your fault or any config that you can change.

I use SwiftKey 3.
Samsung keyboard seems broken to me.

It's a bit painful, that, since so many good things are tied to the Samsung keyboard (Handwriting recognition, floating keyboard in multiscreen, one-handed mode, and parts of Swiftkey for that matter).

I recommend swift key 3 until Samsung gets it out. In fact I recommend it over the Samsung keyboard. But from what I read the new Samsung keyboards are based on swift key. Is that right?

This is annoying... I hope their is a fix for this
The more I use the keyboard, the more I like it. There are pros and cons to having the spacebar auto correct. I do agree that they should make it an option though but after a couple of days with the Note 2 keyboard I find that I have less errors and am almost typing just as fast as SwiftKey. If you stick with the Samsung keyboard, you will get better at it.
Plus the numbers at the top and the pen input is too hard to give up. The pros outweigh the cons in my opinion.

TouchPal is a good keyboard too. And it's free!
Samsung has purposefully left it out. Your keyboard is fine. Although it would have been nice if Samsung had actually included the option to enable or disable auto correct. I use the Jelly Bean Pro keyboard from the Play Store. But I switch to the Samsung one if I am using Multi Window functionality.

Handwritten from my Galaxy Note II
The Hong Kong stock firmware keyboard I loaded a couple weeks back did perform autocorrect but the performance was so iffy (guessing the same incorrect word over and over rather than learning from prior corrections being the biggest issue) that I moved back to SwiftKey. I'm bummed about losing easy handwriting and the number row but as a whole I'm happier with the Swiftkey.
Some others stated that they got used to the stock keyboard without autocorrect but after a week+ on the English keyboard I decided it wasn't worth it.

Well mine worked fine until yesterday. It corrects its to it's automatically. But it doesnt work anymore.
I dont know why it worked at first place then not working anymore..

Totally agree with this!!
It might be worth everyone giving Ultra Keyboard a try from the play store. It does Google voice typing, better swiping than the stock keyboard and allows a permanent number row. Also has long press secondary characters. The only thing you give up is the handwriting but for me that is infrequent enough that I'm prepared to switch keyboards just for when I need it.

Did you ever get a response to this? I have been looking for the same thing. As far as I can tell, it is an AT&T screw-up. I am told it works on the other service providers. But I would also like to have it.
I can get it to the right of the space bar if I use the Swype keyboard. I want to use it on the standard Samsung keyboard.
Let me know if you get an answer.

Not really sure why people think that the SwiftKey devs did any meaningful work with the Note II keyboard. In my opinion, it is garbage in comparison and offers no basic functionality beyond SwiftKey 3. It's a real shame you lose S pen support using an alternative keyboard. Do you really prefer the default keyboard? There is no way I can write anywhere as fast as I can text with basic SwiftKey 3. Thoughts?

The one thing I love about the stock keyboard is the 4th row number keys. Wish I could get that on swift key.

+1... exactly what I think...
Yes, the number row counts for something, no doubt, but when I'm wailing away at the keyboard, it is normally to hit letter keys, and not numbers, as good as it is. Simiarly, there are obvious benefits to a hardware querty keyboard, but will few will buy one despite the utility. Now, I say this as someone who doesn't spend a great deal of time working in spreadsheets. Something like that is something I could imagine skipping plain SwiftKey for. What do you use a number row for?

I dont think you get it. Moving the special characters onto an additional row of keys, so I dont have to toggle to another keyboard +being able to hit the numbers on the same screen +swype on the same keyboard... all adds up. Now, if I could change two things; spacebar to autocorrect and being able to edit the keyboards user dictionary, that would be perfection.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
Yes, that's what I'm talking about, the space bar and the auto complete/correct. To me, that IS SwiftKey. If I have to reach up for every word, that is not swift and I could definitely do without it. Considering what you said, if the only influence that SwiftKey had in the Samsung keyboard is the "learning" phase, how is it learning anything if you have to select your words manually and can't change the dictionary?
Before I had the Note 2 I used swift key on all my phones. However with the Note I've been using Swype for the 1st time and love it. So much so I've removed swift key. Swype is nice when you're one handing this beast and is the only reason I even tried using it in the 1st place. I've also found it to be really intuitive. Once swift key have their version of Swype up and running I'll give it another shot.

So I have started trying to learn the Swype keyboard. So far it feels like more of a gimmick than a see serious attempt to make a dent in the keyboard market, but I am open to accepting my inexperience as a important factor.Do you guys find you are actually faster with this keyboard? I do plan on continuing to practice day to day, and I accept that I may have spoken to soon.

I still prefer to type with both hands, then again, I find the stock samsung keyboard good enough that it's my daily driver (although i wish the auto correct kicks in automatically... I don't have time to type and then click on the auto correct, just auto correct when i move to the next word).
I only use the swipe keyboard when i'm using 1 handed or the s pen as regular typing should be done with 2 hands. I did come from a sensation so, i was used to their trace keyboard

I had the same problem not liking the lack of space bar for autocorrect until I realized it was the same distance to hit the autocorrected word vs the spacebar. Once I broke that habit swiftkey and swype were forgotten about. Typing on mispelled words to autocorrect em has been nice on the stock sammy keyboard.

Once I became comfortable with Swype I found that I'm much faster and proficient with it than finger pecking. It took me about a day to really start liking it. Prior to the Note 2 I never used Swype, I also viewed it as a gimmick. Now I absolutely love it!
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
The new swiftkey function with the spacebar seems nice, just wish they would separate the number keys at the top like on the stock keyboard. Once the new swiftkey comes out I will probably give it a try again.
I've noticed that there are places where the Swype keyboard isn't inserting spaces after words, such as in the dolphin browser. Is this a glitch or just me?

Amazing. Can't wait for the official release, bug free with hopefully some sort of swipe to delete (swipe the backspace button?).
I use SwiftKey 3 before this and the swipe left for a word delete was amazing.
Am I the only person that thinks it's horrible? I use SwiftKey and love it but flow just isn't there yet. It only types what I want half the time and I'm constantly going back and fixing errors. I'm much faster and accurate with the normal SwiftKey.

I find that the case with most of the "flow" type keyboards. For some reason, tapping just works better for me. The idea of having to type only one key at a time (as opposed to using 2 fingers/thumbs) is beyond me and slows me down!

I'm using this keyboard cuz for me it's like a free version of SwiftKey with that amazing prediction. The swiping works best on the words you get lazy on or you know are easy to swipe. I'd drive myself crazy if I tried swiping a whole paragraph. This keyboard is really accurate tho and the feature in the settings that shows where you press the keys is cool and it imports ur words from other sources so it knows you well right off the bat and with the cool default themes this keyboard is a keeper

As far as these trace type keyboards go, I prefer Swype. Although I understand this is still in beta. But I stay with the normal SwiftKey because I end up spending more time going back and correcting errors than it saves me.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
I didn't get into swype type keyboards until I tried the 4.2 nexus keyboard. I thought it was decent but without the auto correcting and spacing of swiftkey, I went back to it.
Same thing with the OG stock keyboard. I absolutely love this though. I keep swiftkey but I've been messing with flow more and more.
It's a beta so it has it's glitches (swyping 5 words then it goes blank once I move on to the 6th one) but when usually it works great.
I've typed out long text messages faster than I ever imagined with it. I'll be getting the official apk once it's released.
...on the fly...
somtimes my phone switches to one handed and im not sure how im doing it, but it does. I wanted to know if there was a way to put it back to dual hand without having to go into settings.
I would also be interested in this. I would like to be able to easily toggle from full to one handed keyboard without having to go in to the settings, if possible.

You can pinch to zoom (make it one handed) and spread (opposite of pinch) to make it go back to full keyboard. I hope this helps.
