best keyboard for the note 4....??!

[pantlesspenguin]

I was a huge fan of the z10 keyboard, but I do not really like swifkey! I prefer Google's lollipop keyboard! Looks clean and the prediction is very good!

Did you ever delve into the SwiftKey themes? There's one called "dark" that very closely resembles the BB10 keyboard. The keys are square and touching. All that's missing are the virtual frets in between the rows!

What theme is that on your SwiftKey?

I have been a SwiftKey devotee for a few years now. I have to admit though, that the Samsung keyboard has been nice so far. I have not found the need to switch over yet. We'll see how it goes after I have had the phone for a while.

I have been using the Samsung keyboard but the text prediction is horrendous. What I really liked about it was the top number row so you didn't have to switch to a dedicated numbers keyboard but the text prediction is so bad the Samsung keyboard is useless. For those using Swift Key what do you like better about it vs. Swpe?

I've tried Swiftkey but always end up back w Google Keyboard. Notice a slight hang when trying to text w Swiftkey.

I'm currently in some kind of keyboard paranoia, I am frequently changing between swype, SwiftKey, and stock. Too bad that Google keyboard aren't available on Google play store in Sweden .

It goes beyond the colour or fret imho. The swiping up to complete the word is what I think makes the Z3/10/30 neat. Not necessary better but the fact that you don't have to stop to pick a word from the top of the keyboard to complete it is pretty efficient.

I like the Google keyboard but you can't set it up for one hand. At least that I'm aware of

You can download from your regular browser as a APK, at least that's what I've done. I guess its not supported in Europe..

I do however use Dutch on it

I like that SwiftKey works across multiple devices and stores settings in the cloud. I find the prediction engine to be superb, and it improves over time. I let it train from gmail and my other accounts during set up. I also had more luck with accuracy vs. swype. I think it lags less as well.

Oddly enough, I could never get that to work for me. It would take a couple swipes for me to get it to register. Plus I'd have to lift my finger a bit to see if it was the word I wanted to use. I found it faster just to pound the words out without the swipe up.

While I prefer the Swiftkey keyboard but it does have a major flaw in my opinion, which the Samsung keyboard doesn't. That is you can't access the clipboard entries and choose the entry you want to insert on the Swiftkey keyboard. The Samsung keyboard does have this very necessary feature. I am thus forced to switch keyboards at least once a day to delete all entries in the Clipboard and then switch back to Swiftkey. Leaving these clipboard snippets (including any copied passwords) means they are available to anyone with access to your phone.

After trying one other keyboard "Minuum", it slowed down my note 4 considerably. I read this forum and didn't know the stock keyboard had all these features nor did I know how to enable it. I tried what you said and didn't realize it kept all my stuff in the clipboard. Amazing. Anyway I also followed one other post in making the stock keyboard into 3/4 size and it basically floating around the page and enabled swipe. Pretty spot on.
My only qualm about it is that I can't long press on a letter and have access to regular symbols right then and there. So far so good.

Swiftkey all the way!

I've found having a dedicated number row is my #2 priority (swiping is #1). So those without that function are of my list.

Every time I read about keyboards so many love swift key, so I try it out again. The thing I don't like about swift key compared to stock (which is what I use), is when you misspell or the keyboard picks the wrong word, stock allows you to delete the word with a single backspace instead of backspace each letter. I also find stock easier to select a close word when it picks the wrong one.

With swift key if u hold down the backspace button for a second or 2 will delete the word. The predictions in swiftkey sre truly taylored via your FB, emails, texts etc. I had it & loved it since it cost $
