I’ve used a couple, Thumb-Key which was fun but didn’t support emojis, and now OpenBoard which is pretty decent as a replacement
unexpected keyboard
For day to day use, I think it’s a bit hard to use. But I use unexpected Keyboard as secondary keyboard for editing code, or using CLI (termux, ssh to servers, …). I will however give a try to anysoft for other uses…
Oh wow! The Unexpected Keyboard is a very pleasant surprise!
My new default. Thanks for the recommendation!
Seconded
My favorite keyboard that I hardly ever use, it would help if it had some variety of autosuggestion (as I’m dyslexic so I rely heavily on it) but otherwise I love it
The default keyboard is a bit of a mess, I’ll need to get around to writing a new one.
Florisboard once this is merged
They gotta implement this in the main branch. This is amazing.
https://github.com/florisboard/florisboard/pull/2213
it’s planned
Yesss, they would, but for now with these MYD themes, I’m fullfilled with Florisboard even without “Suggestions” and etc. We are still patiente, tho
Oh my god, is this real, chat??
Anysoft keyboard.
Latest update was 2 years ago :(
In 3 months the last release will be 2 years ago, yes. But the last commit was a week ago, the project is still active and had >200 commits since last release
I agree. So far I have not found any open source keyboard that supports swiping as well as Anysoft does. It’s also very customizable.
I’ve tried this before but there’s a hugely annoying bug where the backspace will not just erase the letters, but also the spaces between previous words. It’s pretty much unusable on my device.
Installing! I’m keen to get back a swiping board
This is all I’m waiting for to make the switch…
Simple Keyboard

I have been using simple keyboard, works well and does not track your data.
Have to say that other than Microsoft’s Swype keyboard, ASK is the most accurate of any Swype enabled keyboard I’ve tried.
I’ve been using swipe for years, so glad to have a not-microsoft alternative now!
AnySoftKeyboard. A power user keyboard and has lennys like this

The new fork of OpenBoard by Helium314 (on GitHub, not on F-Droid) is also nice. It has swipe typing and the newest Unicode emojis.
