Title.

I'm not sure I'm ready to go all "lineageOS full degoogle" on my phone because some rather necessary day-to-day apps for me will freak out if I have root, let alone a modified OS. Buuuut GBoard has gotten right in my tit, and now they're offering nightmarish AI generated emoji and I'm like "NO". So.

I don't really care about predictive text or swipe-typing or any of that stuff, I mostly just type normally.

The only nice-to-haves that might entice me would be support for one-handed mode and a configurable keyboard layout.

Yes, HeliBoard is an excellent, open source keyboard app.

Sounds promising enough, will take a look.

In case you didn't see coment responses, adding swipe and FUTO Voice are great additions.

Another vote for HeliBoard, I've been using it for months and it's great and under active development.
