The gesture support for additional signs is quite nice, but probably annoying if you are used to swipe keyboards.

I find this to be the best keyboard. My language uses a lot of non ascii characters and its so much faster to type them with this!

I use it alongside SwiftKey (with Internet access disabled). It's a godsend in Termux.

try tracker control and you will see that swiftKey doesn't respect that "disable"

An app being able to subvert system-level permissions would be pretty huge news.

I downloaded that app along with SwiftKey and disabled network access for it. Here's what I get:

Where am I supposed to see it being able to access the internet?

in the "traffic log"

Enabled the traffic log, used SwiftKey in a few different apps, got traffic from those apps, but nothing from SwiftKey. What am I missing?

on my phone, even with disabled access, it was "phoning home" regularly. i'm on AnySoftKeyboard for the last 2 years.

maybe my os wasn't intact 🤷 it's degoogled now and (relatively) tracker free

if Swiftkey works for you … good for you.

excuse my comments

I don't use SwiftKey, just tested it because you shared a tool for doing it and claimed it was able to subvert Android permissions.

You probably didn't actually disable the permission -- like I said, the idea that an app could get around system-level permissions like that, in a way you could plainly observe would be headline news. It would be astounding that you somehow uncovered something that massive.

I use GrapheneOS. It is unable to access the Internet entirely.
