Florisboard on F-Droid was looking real good for me, but they stopped updating 15 months ago. Currently in alpha. Not sure if it's still being worked on or abandoned.
Trying it out now as I reply. Quite like it, for similar reasons to openboard. I'm not sure why, but i think I type a little bit more accurately when I use this compared to openboard and also gboard, which is interesting, can't really see why that would be. It also has that awesome space bar trackpad feature.
Sadly, like openboard, it has no swipe to type either, nor a searchable emoji board. It's a real shame there seems to have been a freeze on updates because the current version doesn't yet support the word suggestions. This really breaks the app as a daily keyboard unless they ever resume updates. It's good though for sure.
Florisboard has swipe to type?
Yes. In settings.
Got to Settings, then Gestures and Glide Typing to enable swipe.
It's not very accurate for me. But it does work.
