I've used a couple, Thumb-Key which was fun but didn't support emojis, and now OpenBoard which is pretty decent as a replacement

unexpected keyboard

[-] fievel@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

For day to day use, I think it's a bit hard to use. But I use unexpected Keyboard as secondary keyboard for editing code, or using CLI (termux, ssh to servers, ...). I will however give a try to anysoft for other uses...

Oh wow! The Unexpected Keyboard is a very pleasant surprise!

My new default. Thanks for the recommendation!

My favorite keyboard that I hardly ever use, it would help if it had some variety of autosuggestion (as I'm dyslexic so I rely heavily on it) but otherwise I love it

The default keyboard is a bit of a mess, I'll need to get around to writing a new one.

They gotta implement this in the main branch. This is amazing.

[-] gayisha@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Yesss, they would, but for now with these MYD themes, I'm fullfilled with Florisboard even without "Suggestions" and etc. We are still patiente, tho

Anysoft keyboard.

[-] Hubi@feddit.de 4 points 11 months ago

I agree. So far I have not found any open source keyboard that supports swiping as well as Anysoft does. It's also very customizable.

I've tried this before but there's a hugely annoying bug where the backspace will not just erase the letters, but also the spaces between previous words. It's pretty much unusable on my device.

[-] luthis@lemmy.nz 3 points 11 months ago

Installing! I'm keen to get back a swiping board

[-] Whimseymimple@beehaw.org 1 points 11 months ago

This is all I'm waiting for to make the switch...

Simple Keyboard

I have been using simple keyboard, works well and does not track your data.

[-] Philo@lemm.ee -2 points 11 months ago

Have to say that other than Microsoft's Swype keyboard, ASK is the most accurate of any Swype enabled keyboard I've tried.

[-] luthis@lemmy.nz 1 points 11 months ago

I've been using swipe for years, so glad to have a not-microsoft alternative now!
