The I've thing that drove me away from this board was lack of automatic split when I opened my phone. FUTO works though.

You know about FUTO, right?

Well shit. At least for now no internet access. But the lack of auto split really kills Heliboard for me. I still have it installed.
Oh shit, I hadn't even realised that I had to actively send the gestures I put in earlier, they were just sitting there waiting to be used! π
I really wish they would work on the autocorrect instead. I love the keyboard, but the autocorrect is just terrible, even when I write english instead of german.
Looks good, I am always happy to see privacy options that are more granular than yes / no.
Keep up the good work!
This is great news! Gesture typing has been the missing piece is a lot of otherwise excellent keyboard utilities. I am using Heliboard partly because of the workaround it supports, but that is not a great solution. This has the promise to address the issue directly and in a way that could benefit other keyboards as well.
