What android keyboard app do you use and why? (lemmy.today)

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! 😄

Multiling-o keyboard might fit the bill.

Keyboard Designer.

It allows me to put the numbers on the bottom row and the space bar on the 2nd row and the backspace next to the L where it belongs.

Whoa so that's like a build your own keyboard app or something?

SwiftKey for swipe texting

Mostly Thumb Key, but I'm trying out Heliboard right now thanks to the recommendations here and it's pretty nice. I haven't used a good swiping keyboard for a while.

Similar to Godan, but I prefer this one.

I want to like futo but I think it just needs more time. I'm using Gboard without the Internet access turned on (I'm using graphene OS) so I'm not worried about Google knowing anything I type.

I mostly use the swipe to text feature and I just haven't found another keyboard that does it better than Gboard (unfortunately)

FlorisBoard Beta. Works and gets the job done. Also has a nice UI.
