What android keyboard app do you use and why?

Paradachshund@lemmy.today to Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world – 127 points –

I use Gboard.

The main things I like about it are:

  • Very customizable (I like having number row always visible, and having long press for symbols on each letter).
  • Has gif support built in.

My biggest pain point is:

  • It auto corrects words that are spelled correctly to other words. I type "our" and it changes to "out", I recently typed "purpose" and it changed it to "purple". Autocorrect is awesome and necessary, but I hate that it corrects words to other words and not just typos. I wish I could find a keyboard that has the things I like without this annoyance.

Am I looking for a unicorn? Let me know! 😄

The only thing I'm missing is the ability to use multiple languages at once.

It's pretty easy to switch, es posible cambiar con una toca. You can map it to a long press or swipe or use a dedicated key.

I have 4 languages i need to constantly switch between. It becomes frustrating after a while

How would you like to switch between them? I use 3 regularly with different layouts and I've never had an issue. For me, a keyboard swipe is quicker than a long press and tap to select, or a tap on a single button. It could be any of the above. You can also have the switching button in the top menu or by the space bar.

Is there a better switching method for you?
