  This won't be easy because we already use gestures to capitalize, delete and restore. 😊

  @janis: i think the currently implemented gestures are clear, short and unidirectional, while a swipe is longer with many changes in direction. Pleeease implement

  Add SWIPE typing please, the swipe back and restore foward is nice but SECONDARY functions
  
  And the space bar is large and redundant; Maybe SWIPE right for SPACE and SWIPE left for DELETE

  You can give swipe as an option. For not to interfere with your regular gestures, add a swipe button (can be placed at extreme end at both sides which is blank as of now or whole suggestion bar ) so that swiping will be activated only if you start swiping from that button or area.

  i agree, swipe typing is my main way to type using only one hand, once you memorise where is each letter in the keyboard it is way easier to type than pressing each letter individually

  Swipe typing would be really nice to have.

  Swipe is just where its at. The first thing i thought when i saw Typewise' layout was, "Finally! A keyboard that is perfectly designed for swiping!"
  
  I was sooo disappointed when i realized that it wasn't supported, and that i'd have to go back to tapping.
  
  While i love the Typewise layout and have worked hard and adjusted to it successfully, I'm typing at half the speed of a swipe keyboard. I will probably go back.

  it should be a setting because some people might not want it

  @typewise team. In some of the app ratings your response was that typing with two hands is faster than swiping. You may be right. But what about users with smaller phones who are using only one finger to type?? In this case typing is much much slower than swiping - and more annoying, too.
  
  Please have that in mind when you're answering to users reviews.

  You can adapt the gboard swipe typing library to be formatted for your keyboard this would allow for even faster typing down You could create a zone either above the keyboard or between the space keys where the quick correct features would still be implemented and unaffected otherwise the swipe keyboard would work as normal also the ability to curse back without deleting text would be extraordinarily useful.
  Thx

  It is a nice tool. Two things may be changed for the future; the position for the semikolon as it is used very often. Would it bepossible to add a Swiss german layout? Additionally the
  ä,ü,ö are pretty hard to point. Regards John
