So after reading this thread more, I started playing around with Swype more and I am starting to love it more and more over Swiftkey X. While Swiftkey is great, Swype has improved vastly since the last time that I remember using it!
I now can't live without being able to swipe gestures for punctuation, capitalization, hiding the keyboard, turning on the keypad and copy/pasting. You can even swipe a smiley face
I had Swype on my HTC Evo Shift and was sad it wasn't on my GNex. I was using stock until the official Swype beta came out. Now I'm back to Swyping all day!!

Long press period. That gets you alot of punctuation. Not all of it, admittedly, but most of what you need.
Yeah i am aware of this, i'm not a big fan of that shortcut because it makes you hover your finger below your choice instead of over it, so i always press the wrong thing. I wonder if its supposed to be that way or if its a bug in the keyboard?
