FlorisBoard is in f-droid, and has swipe. What it doesn't currently have, and has been in the "to do" list for - I don't know, over a year - is autocorrect. This makes swipe far less effective than on other boards. But it does work well; there are just a lot of spelling errors to fix.

AnySoftKeyboard, I use it and love it, but it need a lot of time to be configured exactly like you want
In using ASK with swore, but as you can see, it's not yelling accurate. I wish that the namespace key would remove the while worked, not letter by letter.
(I'm using ASK with swipe, but as you can see, it's not terribly accurate. I wish that the backspace key would remove the whole word, not letter by letter.)
You can set gestures on spacebar to delete whole word. This is why I say anysoft need a lot of time, because probably your needs are already fulfilled, but find the option is an ordeal
I looked at it briefly and just want to confirm - it doesn't support simultaneous use of multiple languages, od does it?
It does! You can download the additional languages and then configure it how you want (a very common one is to swipe on the space bar)
Thanks for the answer. I wasn't clear enough, I meant being able to write in multiple languages without having to switch to another language, like what e.g. Gboard does.
Oh my bad then. I'm not familiar with Gboard having never used it unfortunately. I don't think then that you can use multiple languages all at once. I can only say that AnySoftKeyboard is very customizable and as far as convenience goes, one can easily change languages with a swipe. You can also add your own exceptions and abbreviations in different languages
Yes, it is possible, but it's hard to find the option. Here an answer on GitHub https://github.com/AnySoftKeyboard/AnySoftKeyboard/issues/1524
I'd suggest you openboard, this version is a fork of the original one & is being maintained currently . Have a look at the readme and you'll find how to add gesture swipe.
cant find the relaeased apk. do i have to compile by myself?
The APKs are right there on the Github. https://github.com/Helium314/openboard/releases
~~ it's on F-Droid https://f-droid.org/packages/org.dslul.openboard.inputmethod.latin/ ~~
EDIT: if anyone sees this, how can i strikethrough text? i'm trying to signal this mistake but i am failing
Heck out this post: https://lemmy.zip/post/154760 As far as I can tell https://github.com/florisboard/florisboard is one that support swipe.
Use gboards with a firewall blocking any traffic from it.
Trying this. Been struggling to find dictionary of my native language in openboard. Thanks dude!
Wait, is using GBoard with blocked internet access actually private? I read other people say it is like a keylogger, and probably would bypass the internet restriction.
Swipe sucks
that's your opinion (I share it)
but that totally isn't a valid response that's helping OP in any way.
When you get the hang of it, you can type very quickly with just one hand. Becomes muscle memory.
