Used Swype until cancelled. Tried many gesture keyboards and Gboard is best now.
Minuum Keyboard master race!
I remember using and loving minuum when it came out especially because I had a smaller phone at the time. But it hasn't updated in quite a while.
Are there any other keyboard apps out there that have the same layout options?
Sadly no other keyboard with the same layout yet. I'm still hoping for a patched version, maybe Revanced or for someone just to recreate it as an open source release.
Glad to hear Minuum is still up and running. I couldn't get super comfortable with it, but I love the concept... and I still remember that first, awful announcement video with the poorly mixed vocals that made it sound like the founder's name was Will Wompwomp.
I still think it's the future of keyboards. I will die on the hill that QWERTY makes zero logical sense for touchscreen keyboards and that not utilising machine learning for fuzzy typing is a waste of processor.
I'm gonna say messagease is totally better.
I never got into it π
Ooh, just seen one of the developers of Lemmy made a successor for MessageEase https://www.f-droid.org/packages/com.dessalines.thumbkey/
SwiftKey... Been using it for years now.
Hacker's Keyboard. It's the only one other than Gboard I ever use, as it was the only one I had found with a full desktop keyboard. I do terminal and remote desktop shit a lot, so I sometimes need the keys that aren't typically available on a phone keyboard.
I've liked SwiftKey a lot more since they added the bing/ai/chatgpt button. Although I'd say about 25 percent of the time it refused to answer my question claiming I was being argumentative or the answer would be unfair.
Still there's tons of themes and the suggestions while not brilliant I'm sure do speed up my typing a lot.
I love Multiling, but unfortunately it is not actively supported anymore
Super customisable, helpful for a Colemak user like, and shortcuts for select all, copy, paste etc in ALL text inputs even if they blocked such things. Also many ways to customize text and things like special symbols etc
I like Gboard, Swiftkey was my favorite for a long time before Gboard seemed to outpace it. Clipboard functionally, both history and images, swipe to delete, text input, it's just a tight experience most of the time.
AOSP keyboard or Gboard if i'm using a pixel based ROM
I love the features and customisability of samsung keyboard.
I don't really have a favourite. I use OpenBoard but it has it's issues. Hopefully Floris will improve enough to become my default.
I still use Gboard the most. My wife uses Samsung keyboard and prefers it over Gboard.
I don't have s Samsung phone so I can't test that.
Any FOSS keyboard recommendations that support simplified Chinese?
For customizability, I currently use AnySoftKeyboard, and also like Florisboard (although waiting on next word suggestion).
I use Openboard. I migrated from iOS and found Openboard to be the most familiar, with key borders turned on in settings.
