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 use typewise. It feels like there is more space for every button and i no longer accidentally press the space button

I don't know how you would... Where is it!?

[โ€“] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Next to f and h

It takes some getting used to but i am pretty happy with it! You swipe up on the buttons for capitals and it has some gestures that makes deleting and restoring quite easy

Interesting. Admittedly, I'm almost always using my phone one-handed, but I know some people use two hands.

[โ€“] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

You dont need to press both space buttons simultaneously to add a space ๐Ÿ˜‰

[โ€“] Don_alForno@feddit.org 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The keyboard itself is great, I just feel like the auto correction keeps doing everything in it's power to fuck up what I typed, more so than before I switched.

[โ€“] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Do you use multiple languages? And if ye. Do you have a pro/paid version that switches between languages automatically?

[โ€“] Don_alForno@feddit.org 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yes to both (English/German).

[โ€“] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

It might be the issue. I have the same with english and danish. I have asked in the telegram group about it

[โ€“] DiabolicalBird@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago

I absolutely adore this keyboard, I just wish they'd add a voice input button so I could use FUTO's voice to text with it.

[โ€“] Paradachshund@lemmy.today 2 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Wow this one is wild. I kind of like it at a glance but also I would have to relearn to type ๐Ÿค”

[โ€“] Don_alForno@feddit.org 2 points 3 months ago

Try it for a few days. You get into it real quick and it has a lot of useful features.

[โ€“] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Its not that difficult actually! They even have a mini game and a very good tutorial in the app!

I feel that its gotten a lot easier to type since i got this and a lot less typos

[โ€“] Paradachshund@lemmy.today 2 points 3 months ago

The less typos thing seems like it would be true even at a glance. That was my first thought seeing this.
