Doesn't have glide typing implemented yet. That's the reason why I still use Gboard. My thumbs can't type for shit.

Yeah...I miss swiping to type and many of my typos are because of keyboard, but I wasn't a fan to see Gboard remember certain words in a certain order...

I'm loving Florisboard. Has clipboard history, swipe typing, and lots of other customization.

Ooooh swipe typing? Now we're talking!

FlorisBoard has swipe typing.

Oh you were replying to me! Oops...

According to their GitHub that's still a Todo item

No, I've been using it over a year.

Good to know. I'll have to give it a try. Will probably take some adjusting because I've taught Gboard so many words.

Thanks.

I've used OpenBoard for a while, but will definitely check this out. Thanks.

nostr:npub1kemda478drtx5at65wt8kyjrmy9l27hmp8gsgnfjr8vdgf8y46sqsw0hnv, I also use it and like it. I downloaded it from Fdroid. It was updated two years ago there. Why it's not more frequently updated?

Could you help me figure out how to add my native language in Florisboard?

Could you also tell me how to add new words to it, please?

I don't know why the last update of Stable was so long ago, but I think there's a Beta build available of 4.0.

I don't use non-English or dictionaries, so I can't help there.

Thanks for responding and zapping, nostr:npub1kemda478drtx5at65wt8kyjrmy9l27hmp8gsgnfjr8vdgf8y46sqsw0hnv. I feel ashamed because I can't zap back for a technical difficulty in my alby. But I send you a sincere hug. ๐Ÿซ‚

Do you use the beta version? Does that work better?

I haven't tried the Beta

Thanks.

I like the MessagEase Keyboard. It's much easier to use on smaller devices and can be operated one-handed. It's a little like T9, but optomised for touch screens.

Unfortunately, I have no idea if they collect data on usage. This doesn't really bother me, though. I use a real computer to do anything important.
