The show arrow keys option is under themes in the phone version of SwiftKey, but it is not available in the tablet version of SwiftKey, that I have found. On the tablet version selecting the numeric keyboard and then the extended keyboard will give the direction keys.

And that's why I personally prefer the phone version.

So does the phone version work on the Nexus 7?

I'm trying out the Go! keyboard, but its voice recognition doesn't work, and its predictive typing is maybe a Tad slower because you have to type 2 letters before it predicts anything.

I'm trying SwiftKey 3 (phone version), and I love it! Its predictive suggestions match my thoughts well, it adds arrow keys, and its customization options suit me well. I'll probably be buying it or the tablet version soon. I like having arrow keys, so I'll have to see what offsetting features the tablet version offers.

I'm using the tablet version of SwiftKey... I actually don't like the predictions it makes most of the time (it is disable-able of course). Things like a comma auto inserts "and" after it. Also a period inserts a space. It's just very hard to get used to.

Check the settings in SwiftKey . For example, I hate that the default setting for space, is insert period, so I change it to always insert space.

I bought the tablet version of Swiftkey, and like it very much. I set its advanced settings to precise typing, so the AutoCorrect feature does not operate. I also d n dance settings so the spacebar always inserts a space.
