Hi! I love sync, and I’ve just encountered the first thing that lowered my experience.
When creating a post, such as this one, I have a problem with the title box : I can’t use my third party keyboard that’s installed on my smartphone.
I use SwiftKey, a keyboard that allows me to slide from one keyboard letter to the other in order to write faster. I have big thumbs, and touching each letter individually is a problem for me, so you could say I use this keyboard as an accessibility tool.
So, on the post creation interface, in the title box (and only in the title box), I can’t swipe on my keyboard. This box will only accept one letter at the time, and it’s really burdensome for me.
Writing the title of this post took me around 3 minutes. Sometimes I’ll write it somewhere else and copy paste it in the title box, which is also a burden and sometimes I prefer just not to post.
Is there something that can be done about this? Note that I never encountered this problem in Sync for Reddit, back in the days.
Other info :
SwiftKey version 9.10.26.30
On Android version 14
Phone : Google Pixel 4A.
Thank you!
SwiftKey user here, can confirm.
A related bug is not being able to access SwiftKey’s toolbar, so you’re unable to access the clipboard manager or any other advanced features/settings.
I’ve had this issue forever and it’s painful. I just draft my titles out in the body.
Jesus I didn’t even think of doing that… Was doing it in another app.
BUMP. Is this something we can expect a fix for eventually?
