@cardfire@TehBamski Isn’t there an open source version of gboard? Anyway, Louis Rossman has a no cloud keyboard so that’s probably the closest thing. I think it’s called futo?
I second Futo, nothing compares to the abilities of the iPhone keyboard, at least that is what I remember last time I used an iphone, because nothing on android suits my fat fingers. The biggest draw for me with the FUTO keyboard is the built in voice to text function, that is a game changer and it’s all done on device.
Edit: I don’t think it is available though on F-droid, but I seem to remember Louise Rossman’s reasoning for that was clear and reasonable.
I’m also super curious because I’ve tried several and hated then so much … What I went back to Gboard, deeply defeated.
Nothing else worked well for swipe typing. I need that. Lol.
I found Heliboard with the added files for swiping action just as good or bad as Gboard.
I like heliboard a lot but the swiping is still not as good as gboard
Gonna try this immediately.

It’s good. I use it. It’s not FOSS.
I really, really wanted to love the Futo keyboard. I was so inaccurate with it I couldn’t function. It required tapping every key instead of swiping.
Just installed it, really good. Thanks for the suggestion cardfire.

Yes, it is; they have their own separate repository that you can enable in Droid-ify’s upper-right settings.
I totally forgot about that, I do most of my app updates through obtainium these days. Thanks for pointing that out.
