Is there an Android keyboard where you control the sursor with the spacebar like on iOS?

Just a heads up, glide typing requires loading a closed source library in Heliboard. Instructions are in the readme and it's pretty straightforward, but it's something to be aware of.

Why have we had to live without an open source version for so long?

I'm not sure what glide typing is but I installed the keyboard and I can move the cursor with the spacebar.

Also known as gesture typing or swype, typing by dragging your finger for each word rather than tapping each letter.
