Best keyboard on F-Droid? (lemmy.nz)

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

[–] yak@lmy.brx.io 2 points 1 year ago

Oh wow! The Unexpected Keyboard is a very pleasant surprise!

My new default. Thanks for the recommendation!

The default keyboard is a bit of a mess, I'll need to get around to writing a new one.

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...

Anysoft keyboard.

[–] Hubi@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago

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.

Latest update was 2 years ago :(

[–] basxto@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year 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

Installing! I'm keen to get back a swiping board

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!
