I have swiftkey installed and I just got this fun keyboard called Gif Gif Gif that lets you send gifs in text messages. The gif keyboard sucks as a regular keyboard so I want to be able to switch between SwiftKey and Gif Gif Gif but it doesn't allow me to switch in the texting app ( I use Textra). I felt like in the past you were allowed to change the input by holding down on the space in the text input but I now find that it doesn't work anymore.
Any solutions or knowledge of this?
While you're using swiftkey (or any other keyboard) look in the notification bar. There should be a keyboard icon there. Drag the notification bar down and press on the keyboard entry in the list. In the list that pops up, press on the keyboard you want to use.

for me anyway it doesn't work (green letter suggestions) on google search widget, on internet, or on market search. Does work on email, 3Banana app and messaging.
Is that how others find it?

That seems to be the default behaviour of the stock keyboard. Try searching and installing the HTC_ime keyboard as it has more configurable options including the one you want!

Install this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=663608
You have option to enable that predictive text on search input, etc.
It is the same as the stock keyboard, but much more features
I have installed it, but can't get it to "select" eg "long press on any text input field" as the install instructions thread says to do.
As in hold my finger on the input box? Does nothing.
As in hold a key? That just toggles it.

Hey guys,
I noticed that the keyboard settings icon that was included in the keyboard itself in 2.1 is actually missing now in 2.2. I used to jump to keyboard settings using that icon when I wanted to disable/enable the prediction feature, Because sometimes I need to write some uncompleted words as in MSN app, Twitter app and Facebook. So is there a way to get that icon back to the keyboard instead of going all the way to main menu and then settings then keyboard settings then I change what I want ...?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Note: the icon I'm talking about was located on right of the keyboard hider icon.
In a word, no - it's no longer there as it's now the 'multi-language' icon. Only way is to go into the main settings via the menu (never use prediction so not an issue for me)
OK thanks for replying and help.
Is there any way that the Developers here can make something to get it back on?
Thanks anyway, it's not something that I can't live with. But it's really annoying to go all the way to the main menu to enable or disable the prediction feature.
Just press the 'multi language' key and at the bottom of the menu that comes up is a settings button.
Hi,
There is a keyboard from Android 2.3 Gingerbread on the market which you should try.
I only got it for the multitouch but the spacing etc makes you type faster.
Search it on the market and try it.
Once you download it, go to settings - locale and text and tick Gingerbread keyboard. Then go to gingerbread keyboard settings - advanced and change the custom vibration to normal if you want the vibration on keypress.

I can't find it in market
EDIT: Ok I found it. It's called "Keyboard from Android 2.3" and for me Polish dictionary is not working
Can I ask if the prediction bar in samsung keyboard still has the same behavior? You know, it comes and goes as you type and it causes the text box above to jump up and down, it is actually making me dizzy.
Everytime I start to type a word, the prediction bar pops up and the text box jumps up too. Between words the prediction bar dissapears, and the text box drops down again. This is very irritating behavior because I of course always look up at the text box when writing. It's not easy to fokus on what is written when it's jumping up and down like that.
There are many kayboards on the market that have the prediction bar up all the time even when no words are typed. But there are very few with norwegian dictionarys. The one that have norwegian dictionary is not as good as the stock in Galaxy
So how can I get in touch with developers of Galaxy to force them to make the prediction bar stay up all the time??
The prediction bar shows symbols like ? ! , " etc when you're not typing so it stays up all of the time and wont jump.

Has anyone been able to change or update words in their user dictionary? I use the standard Samsung Keyboard, but I cannot find a setting for user dictionary anywhere. I can goto options for the samsung keyboard, but it will only learn from gmail, facebook, etc. Any help would be appreciated.
PS
The samsung keyboard letters are grayed out in language and input, but I can click on the cog next to it to get to settings.
I tried the Swype, but couldn't figure it out either so I went back to my trusty old SlideIt. Easy customizable dictionary + resize keyboard however you like + move keyboard to left or right side for one-handed typing + many more customizations, including how long you want to longhold a key to get the upper character (min. time is 0.1 sec!). Get the paid version. It's better.

Does it have the numbers separately set above the keyboard? Each of the keyboard I have looked at don't have this feature which keeps me using the stock keyboard.

Numbers are, like on a regular laptop/desktop chiclet keyboard, superscripted on the top row of keys (i.e. the qwerty row). So to access the #1, you longhold 'q'. In settings, you can adjust the longhold duration. Mine is set to 0.1 sec, which is so short a time that it is almost the same as having a dedicated #1 key. It's so quick that as I'm getting used to it, I've unintentionally typed the longhold characters quite a few times.

That's based on the older ICS keyboard. Notice on the note 2 with jellybean keyboard you get a separate set of number keys, allowing them to add even more special characters to the letter keys? Trying to retain that. Think I found a few new ones tho. Thx.
anyone able to edit user dictionary ... or import text file ... right now its learning from facebook and gmail but cannot import it by whatsapp ... software like User Dictionary manager show blank dictionary
Hi,
i´m missing the navigation key on my new HTC 10 :crying:
I find it difficult to get to the right position without them...
Is there any chance to get them ?
Thanks Chris
You could install default HTC keyboard like the m8 has. I use leedroids Tom where this keyboard is implemented. If you use the TouchPal keyboard you can also as the option by adding the edit shortcut

Hi,
the TouchPal keyboard is the default HTC keyboard ...
I contacted the online support form HTC and they told me that there ist no option to show navigation keyboards because they want to give us more free screen
How do you "add the edit shortcut" ?
Thanks Chris

What I ment was the "old default" keyboard like the HTC m8 got. For the edit button, press the icon top left of your keyboard (TouchPal icon I guess) and then press and hold the <I> icon (this is the edit icon) to add it as shortcut. It will show up on the right side of the TouchPal icon, see print screen.
