"Look at what they have to do to mimic a fraction of our power!" - HeliBoard
Heliboard is easily the best fully open source keyboard.
The problem is how aggressive it is with its Personal Dictionary use; it auto-applies shorthand instead of requiring you to tap in the autocorrect pane. I've sorta gotten used to it, but it's quite a departure from every other keyboard I've ever used.
Also it has some quite annoying behaviors with copy paste :
Lol this has been on FUTO forever. It has better voice typing, too, and its all on-device.
I was about to say the only thing missing from futo keyboard is multilingual typing, but then I checked to be sure, ans turns out they already added that!
Just needs florisboard to have swipe typing and word suggestions/autocorrect back. Then I can ditch Gboard
Also I need to close a bank account because its bank app doesn't even allow a third party keyboard. Yes, it's bloody asinine, and there are plenty of people that have the bank 1 star reviews and they still double down on "It'S fOr SeCuRiTy AnD yOuR oWn GoOd"
Extremely frustrating
Why not heliboard? That has both those things
Somehow I like how florisboard looks and the settings is a bit to my liking
That's fair
