I don't have "glide typing" option under gboard settings. But glide typing is working and it's veeeery annoying.
Any idea why? Is there any solution for turning off?
Thanks

There was no gesture typing menu under Gboard settings (as in my link above).
But after reinstalling it's there.
So, problem solved.
Thanks anyway.

Forgive my ignorance, but why would you want to turn off glide typing? What don't you like about it?
I find it so much easier to use than individually typing each character

Simply, because it's useless with my language (Slovenian) and my way of typing messages (and other stuff), especially when typing in dialect.

Is a soft keyboard out there that click when you type a key, like the iPhone?
or
Is there a way to make the HTC keyboard do that?
I believe this would make typing much easier on the HD, just like the iPhone
I know people are working on haptic feedback, but I'm just not a fan of vibrate on every tap
Try SPB full screen keyboard. It has keyboard taps, skins, landscape mode et all.
thank you for your suggestion
i did try it, but i'm not completely happy with it, so i don't see myself paying for it
i just ended up enabling screen tap notifications
(in settings > sounds and notifications)
it does make a sound every time i touch the screen,
but i think it's worth it to have the keyboard 'click'
not a perfect solution, but may be someone else is curious

Try fingerkeyboard 2. Easy to use with a clicking noise after every push of the button.
I second FingerKeyboard2 much much better than the original keyboard. Typing is now a real joy and so much quicker.
Nice clicking sound too.
I tryed your suggestion and now I'm a happy user of FingerKeyboard2. Thanks!

HTC IME has the nice feature of automatically adding entered words to the keyboard dictionary. I'd like to use HTC IME because of this, but I still prefer the stock keyboard because of the scrolling word suggestions.
Can anyone add this functionality to the stock keyboard?
Really? I found that incredibly irritating with HTC IME; that's why I don't use it.
It's simple enough to add them from stock, just long-press on the word you want to add and then keep going.

I second that. The fact that I could make a typo and then it's automatically saved as the default is a burden, not a feature.
I don't like the Desire IME too. Google's IME is so much smarter.
But I do like Desire's keyboard.. it lets you type numbers/symbols by long pressing the respective keys.
It's really nice if you type non-English words

The long press is a nice feature, but it is very slow and obtrusive. I hope, there's a much faster way to add words.
It would be nice if when the user taps on "add to dictionary", the word would automatically be added without taking the user to another screen. That's much faster.
I've noticed you can save words by typing them repeatedly (like three times) and then pressing the word you want in the list that pops up each time.

That's really cool! If we can reduce the number of times the word has to be typed to be added to the dictionary, it would be great!

Does anyone know if it's possible to setup auto-correct on the hardware keyboard? Or at least make sure it's consistent? Sometimes it seems like it'll auto correct some words (like now "im" automatically changes to "I'm") but others times notsomuch.
Anyone else noticing this? Anyone else annoyed by it?

Well, that's embarrassing. Thanks for the heads up - I can't believe I missed that.

It is in an odd place under touch input - I first read that as on-screen keyboard, but in my searching I happened across it.
Glad I could help
If you have your on screen keyboard changed to swype those settings don't do anything, if it isn't obvious.
Correction and prediction doesn't work in the HTC messaging app no matter what the settings.

This may explain a lot. My ROM does not provide me with any option other than "Touch Input."
I have been trying to get back that Blackberry autocorrect feeling, but the other threads that suggest hacking the reg to switch compime for et9ime always screwed up my hardware keyboard.
If you use SwiftKey you'll get auto correct with hardware keyboard.

Swift key if the way to go with hardware key board... It's amazing. I use keyboard manager to have swift key in land scape and swype in portrait. Perfect combo

Recently my phone started throwing out emoticons when I swipe type with the google keyboard. For example, when I type "right", it types a right arrow. Wtf? Is there a way I can disable this?
Thanks

Answer here appears to work: go into system settings->language and input->google keyboard settings gear->text correction->add-on dictionaries->install emoji for english, then delete it.
I think this may have taken away my ability to actually make emoji on purpose though.
I want to use the Samsung Keyboard but it have a space idiot between the keyboard and gesture...Have one method to remove this? I don't want to use another keyboard.

Why don't you want to use another keyboard? With SwiftKey or Gboard you don't have to physically switch languages. It happens automatically. Seeing the as your keyboard says Portuguese I think you would benefit from one of those options. Just FYI. ?
To answer your question, the space is there to prevent accidental swipes so I'm not sure that you can actually remove it with gesture navigation.
Having the same issue here. The space is anoying me. Anyone know how to take it off? (Gboard here)

In navigation bar options turn off show button to hide keyboard but I recommend keeping it on as you can accidentally type while trying to exit the keyboard
