I came across everyday topic on Techlore Discussions about free and open source keyboards for Android and discovered this little gem. It is FlorisBoard, a virtual keyboard for Android which respects privacy of the user. I can sigh with relief and finish my search for that singular keyboard for typing stuff on the go.

It has everything I need and more.

Multilanguage support: detailed layout options, popular presets
Swift and glide typing experience
Customizable gestures: switch language by fast swiping the keyboard itself left and right, change case by swiping up, the infamous cursor swipe on space bar
Emojis
Clipboard
Smartbar: quick actions and clipboard cursor tools
One-handed mode
Other look-and-feel settings

Does it do emoji predictions? I've got a few relationships that use a lot of emoji in chats, and the ability tomjusy type 'salute', 'sad', 'kiss' etc and get the emoji without scrolling through a library is what's keeping me on Swiftkey.
