I'm looking for a privacy-respecting open-source android keyboard, and so far I've found:

Does anyone have any experience with these (or other alternative keyboards)? Which one would you recommend?

I use open board since forever and always hoped they get gesture... Why would I need to find it this way haha.. Thanks

[–] Samsy@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Because this fork uses a propetary library. That's the only downer here. Florisboard and AnyKeyboard try to reinvent it OpenSource.

Ôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôô 🙏

Edit: it works much better, but it also shows issues with jerboa... Namely that the AOSP keyboard will essentially "grab" already typed content, upon edit, and will replace it with whatever you enter...

Yes, that's annoying. I stay away from Jerboa because of this error.
