FOSS keyboards for Android:

[–] godless@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Neither of which supports Chinese, so that's useless for any actual users of Sogou.

I use https://github.com/osfans/trime to type Chinese.

That looks nice. I'll check it out if I have some time later; though my written Chinese is fairly limited. So far the Windows keyboard layout did just fine.

Oh, the one I linked to was actually https://rime.im/ ported to Android. If you want to use it on Windows, please use this link instead. By the way, the required setup on Android is quite a hassle compared to the Windows, macOS, or Linux version.

To repeat a comment I made a bit back, I'm a little disappointed even by the state of English-language Android FOSS onscreen keyboards.
