Can anyone recommend a keyboard for graphene OS?
The default keyboard feels basic or old... Takes a lot longer to type anything

Alot of people like Unexpected Keyboard
just tried it... very precise, little bit too rigid for me right now... but definitely can see it's appeal its solid
Heliboard is alright and you can get swype on it.
couldn't find... got a link?
much appreciated... forgot to check github 👍
Swipe feature is hidden well though can't see how to enable it... still better than default keyboard
Some extra work to get Slide but worth it, I think.

This is going to sound insane, but, what's wrong with Gboard with all permissions turned off? If it can't talk to Google, what's so bad?
It can though via IPCs regardless of the network toggle. Although still a viable option but I wouldn't bank on the fact it's fully private with network toggle off.
I'm assuming IPC is interprocess communication? And the hypothesis is that Gboard would ask other (network connected) processes about your activity and also SEND packets to Google by ferrying them along on the network work that these other processes are doing?
That doesn't sound impossible, but a bit far-fetched. Do you have any references that show this happening in general?
Absolutely zero references 🤣 its all hyperthetic hence still a viable option.
I don't think it's too far fetched for Gboard to send usage data to Play Services that do have network access. I'm guessing less of a concern (if a concern for use case) if Play Services aren't installed.
I simply don't trust google
I don't trust google
That's the point, you don't have to trust the app. Yank all of it's permissions.
Yeah I immediately realized after posting... I'm using Graphene FFS so have no excuse 😁
I disallowed "network permission" seems to be working fine... GIFs don't work because it needs network access but the slide/glide typing is pretty damned good 👌
installed Giphy keyboard... who can I trust more, Giphy or Google?
I'm using FUTO keyboard at the moment
Me too. The FUTO voice keyboard works fairly good for me too... I've even got it running on an android 8 "dumbphone" with the tiny screen and physical number keypad... It's slow to transcribe at like a word every 1-2 seconds, but it's way faster than T9 input.
thank you very much sers
I'm paying with it... the swipe keys feature Elias 80% of the time... and that's good enough
suddenly typing is less effort
