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! 😄

It's there a better swiping library for heliboard? The one they suggest is a lot worse than gboard's.

That's odd, it should be identical. The library linked in their FAQ is a package extracted from Google apps.

Maybe it's an old package? The quality is noticeably worse.
