I want to turn it off entirely, but the "smart" hitboxes for the digital keyboard are also so imprecise that I rely on autocorrect to accommodate my fat fingers.

"Autocorrect," for instance.
I'm using the Samsung one. I've tried a couple FOSS keyboards, but I just can't get used to them. They always make it super hard to find the special characters or non-English letters like ñ, which is a PITA since half my family speaks Spanish.
I'm using OpenBoard. I have many complaints, but finding ñ is not one of them.
I think I've tried it, but I'll give it another chance.
Edit: I remember now why I can't use this one. It undoes autocorrect when I hit backspace, which is something I frequently do while typing. There's a feature request on github, but so far no way to disable this behavior. It's too bad because I like the layout and feel even more, but I can't get used to this.
have you tried the updated fork? That's what I use. https://github.com/Helium314/openboard
No, I haven't! Does backspace undo autocorrect though? That is the only reason I haven't been able to use openboard.
oh, it does. You could submit an issue though
Thanks, I'll submit one and see what happens!
I'm not sure what you mean
I can't stand the Samsung one because it doesn't let me swear. I'm an adult, damnit. I want to be able to say what I want without my phone policing me like a child. So I use Gboard instead.
Hmmm I don't seem to be having this problem, but I remember it happening at one time. I think I've manually added all the fucks and shits by now.
That's the thing, I can't even manually add them. I searched all over the web, but wasn't able to find a solution. I think in older versions of the Samsung keyboard, you were able to do this. But newer phones or newer versions of the keyboard or something removed this feature. It's dumb.
This is my second Samsung phone, so maybe my settings carried over? I agree that it's dumb though. Samsung just seems to get worse over time.
Same with Apple. Ducking nuts!
Also doesn't suggest "assassinate" and all of its forms except "assassin(s)"
I like Gboard because of its Hungarian layout, I have all the special letters like é and ö at my fingertips and I don't have to long-press to type them.
I once out of curiosity checked the Spanish layout, it had ñ there.
Yes, the keyboard I use has the Spanish characters in the layout as well. In fact, it would probably make more sense just to use it if I could get used to the different layout.
