I loved Swype, but I hate having to change screens to put a number in. Long pressing to get a number was just as big a pain in the butt in my opinion. Absolutely no reason they can't put the numbers along the top like the stock keyboard. I wish Swype would make that change...then I would use it no question.

Installed SwiftKey to try it out, went back to the stock Samsung KB and now the layout if different. Before there was a .com dedicated key. Anyone know how to get it back? Also the size of the keyboard and keys is larger than before I installed SwiftKey. Thanks for your help...

I've always loved SwiftKey but I'm currently annoyed that I have to hit the arrow to hide the keyboard before I get the "back arrow".

I just tried Gboard briefly. I like some of its features, but is there a way to get it to display symbols on the letter keys (to select by long-pressing)? I prefer not to switch back and forth between the letter layout and the symbol layout.
Yeah; it's in the settings.

Swiftkey is the best keyboard IMO. I've tried many others and the predictions and autocorrtect do not compare to Swiftkey. Just wish it was more customizable

I have been going back and forth between Gboard & SwiftKey and have finally decided on SwiftKey as my keyboard of choice.

The one and only thing I do not like about SwiftKey is the Autospace. For my usage I am having to use the backspace quite frequently.

Swift key has an option to add number keys to the top row. It is under the keys option in settings.Screenshot_20170424-101027.jpg

I used SwiftKey for a long time and always thought it was the best. Then I tried Gboard for a month based on all the good reviews. I thought that it worked well, but just not as good as SwiftKey. I have since gone back to SwiftKey and that is what I'm using on my new S8 +.

I tired using other keyboards but in the end, still revert to BlackBerry keyboard!
I know what you mean.
Someone call me when another keyboard incorporates flicking words up from the next letter and back swipe to delete entire words...

I am using the stock right now. I don't know what was improved but I've had less errors so far
Could that be because maybe the keyboard is a little bigger?

I was not being facetious. Do you think you are getting less errors because the keyboard is a little bit bigger and you are not making as many mistakes or does it seem like the correction is working better than it did on the S7?
