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! ๐Ÿ˜„

I used Swiftkey until I noticed that Microsoft is adding weird shit to it and so I deleted it and now I just use the built-in Samsung keyboard because none of the others will be any better.

I will hypocritically say that I use Gboard. I love Emoji Kitchen.

The day it comes to FUTO keyboard I'm outta this spyware.

Gboard but with network permissions turned off. Works great. Haven't had any issues with an autosuggest and swiping. I don't use autocorrect.

I'm surprised to hear that it doesn't get angry at you!

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Ive tried multiple ones but I keep going back to Samsung keyboard just because it works so dam well.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I use Fleksy, probably not as popular because it doesn't have swype typing but I find the autocorrect works really well, and it's easy to change the word if you don't like what it corrected to by swiping up or down to different options, and you can swipe left to delete words. Built in gif support too, and there's an extension to make the number row always show.

You can pretty much configure the whole layout. Not sure about gif support though.

Gboard. I want handwriting for Chinese and afaik no foss keyboard has that.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Swift key with auto correct cranked to 11. Haven't found any other keyboard yet that lets me smash any nearby keys and have it fix it just fine.
