I think it is up to Swiftkey's developers to make it's keyboard Bixby friendly. It is a third party app and would have to be run through "Bixby labs"

Samsung keyboard is getting a lot better lately and I recently dropped Swiftkey because it is lacking in the settings department. I reeeeeally dislike the feature to automatically put a space after every period. It makes typing a URL or email address complete hell, and there is no setting (to my knowledge) to turn that off.

You can easily disable the "space after a period" in SwiftKey's settings 🐧

you should look into Swype keyboard. Can't say anything about BIxby compatibility, but works perfect for above mentioned url issue.

I cannot see Samsung making support for Bixby with other keyboards as Bixby is part of Samsung, they probably want to promote the Samsung keyboard and only keep Bixby with the Samsung keyboard...

Although most keyboards do have voice to text so that could be an alternative..

Hey @billz! As others mentioned, Bixby is designed to assist Samsung applications not for third party apps. Thanks!
