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.

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

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.

Multiling-o keyboard might fit the bill.

Cool I'll take a look. Thanks!

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

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

Just recently installed Gboard, because stock Samsung keyboard is so trash it gives me headaches.

Swiper, no swiping!

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

are there any good ones for dyslexics? I hate SwiftKey but have yet to find anything that helps with spelling. I know I can use voice to text but sometimes you don't want speak to your phone in a crowded place.

I use anysoft keyboard cause I thought that it was the only foss option at the time and got used to it.

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

I guess you must like it then?

RIP TouchPal

Gboard now (yes it sucks it sends data to Google but it's the best keyboard and works great on my zFlip cover screen)
