After trying couple of keybords (mostly AnySoftKeyboard and TypeWise [proprietary]) I have settled on Unexpected Keyboard due to easy switch of keybords to get to japanese keyboard and tts button.
FlorisBoard
I’ve been using FUTO Keyboard and I’m very happy with it so far. EDIT: It’s not FOSS but the source code is available and you are allowed to copy/modify it, just not to make money from it. That’s good enough for me.
Damn it’s not FOSS? Time to jump ship
@freijon the question was specifically about open-source. Is this your first day here?
Anyone, including people who have never been here should be welcomed
@GravitySpoiled Except people who violate the first rule of this community?
Feel free to inspect the source code here: https://github.com/futo-org/android-keyboard
@freijon feel free to learn what “open source” means. Look, considering the number and frequency of posts in this community talking about this issue, you don’t get the benefit of the doubt anymore. People arguing that futo is open source are just spammers. Look around.
No need to be unfriendly. I modified my original comment to make sure everyone understands what they get when they install this keyboard.
I use Fcitx5 for its Chinese language support.
Preference for AnySoftKeyboard.
Why is there so many censored posts about keyboard apps?
Heliboard which is an active fork of OpenBoard.
I’ve been using Heliboard for a while. It does most that gboard does, but the predictions aren’t as good of course.
Yeah, I’ve been using it for about a year now. It’s a little frustrating that it will learn my misspellings before it suggests a proper replacement, but otherwise I have no complaints. Direct upgrade over the stock AOSP keyboard.
ive been using heliboard for a while now. no complaints.
I like HeliBoard. It automatically switches between the languages I write in.
Yeah heliboard is the only one ive found that is actually usable on a day to day. Just wish the autocorrect was better, other than that no complaints.
How do you set it up to do that? I just discovered multilingual typing, but that does not seem to be quite it.
I installed the dictionaries I need and then followed https://github.com/Helium314/HeliBoard/wiki/FAQ#multilingual-typing-type-in-multiple-languages-without-switching-manually
Florisboard beta is what I use. Extremely customisable. I think the biggest things that lacks are custom background photo and text-gliding (I ~dont use any of these though).
I made it almost identical to the gboard theme I was using previously and it’s so cool.
I am a big florisboard fan too, but I can not get autocorrect to work? How did you manage that? Also, I have glide typing, how do you not?
Oh, I don’t use any autocorrect.😅 Does it have one? I know it has autofill, suggestions with dictionaries and spell check, but not sure if it has autocorrect.
I have all of these disabled (I only have the auto-capitalization after a period and auto period after double space).😄
Wait, are you on beta? I think they have gliding, but it is only for gestures, not typing.
Best keyboard so far
Agree.
Wow, I missed the introduction of extensions, thanks! That’s cool

if I wanted this mod abuse I would’ve stayed on reddit, what are all these removed comments bruh
Sadly this community is on the instance lemmy.ml which is known for mod abuse. Other instances are better

Florisboard is highly configurable, it can provide a good keyboard for the avarage user, if a more advanced user sets it up properly

I don’t know, but Thumb-Key is written to by a core Lemmy developer, dessalines.
what a fantastic way to indicate my turbo nerd status to my friends and family!
I like Fossify’s, but I won’t recommend it - it has no predictive text and no symbols on its main keyboard, the first which is a huge deal for almost everyone. Not sure if they’re working on those or if it will never get those features, because if it had those two it would be the perfect keyboard because it’s so great in every other sense.
I love the fulliness of unexpected keyboard
I’ve actually tried everything that was recommended here, but AnySoftKeyboard still fits me the best.
Thumb-key.
It takes a bit to adapt and create muscle memory but I can’t change it now that I am used to it.
yeah. Takes a bit to get used to but I now have less typos than on regular keyboards. 🙂
