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!
