I use Gboard.

The main things I like about it are:

  • Very customizable (I like having number row always visible, and having long press for symbols on each letter).
  • Has gif support built in.

My biggest pain point is:

  • It auto corrects words that are spelled correctly to other words. I type "our" and it changes to "out", I recently typed "purpose" and it changed it to "purple". Autocorrect is awesome and necessary, but I hate that it corrects words to other words and not just typos. I wish I could find a keyboard that has the things I like without this annoyance.

Am I looking for a unicorn? Let me know! ๐Ÿ˜„

Multiling-o keyboard might fit the bill.

Ive tried multiple ones but I keep going back to Samsung keyboard just because it works so dam well.

Keyboard Designer.

It allows me to put the numbers on the bottom row and the space bar on the 2nd row and the backspace next to the L where it belongs.

Whoa so that's like a build your own keyboard app or something?

Gboard but with network permissions turned off. Works great. Haven't had any issues with an autosuggest and swiping. I don't use autocorrect.

SwiftKey for swipe texting

[โ€“] glitchdx@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

i used to use touchpal, because I liked that I could swipe up on a key to get the upper case version of the letter, or swipe in other directions to get other variants.

They enshittifies the product a few years back by inserting ads into every app i was using.

These days i just use the android default, but I miss the functionality touchpal had.
