I only use FOSS ones. I hop between florisboard and unexpected keyboard, and I gave heliboard a shot again recently because it has the swipe/glide typing but I couldn't stick with it because I was missing other features, so I'm back on floris.

Since I only use open source keyboards, I'm not really concerned about privacy...so no blocking of internet access.

I also thought about trying out the clipboard history, and also am wondering if it's safe...

If you want to try FOSS keyboard again, HeliBoard is your best bet.

I use HeliBoard because I have to switch between 5 languages (German, Polish, English, Swedish and Korean) constantly and it does it for the most part (other than the korean) automatically for me.

I didn't think of clipboard history yet, but I know that Keepass2Android deletes the copied passwords after a while, that's kind of good enough for me.

Heliboard. It don't have trackers.

FUTO keyboard. It has the best swipe-typing and voice to text out of all source-viewable ones. (Not fully open source due to the license)

I use FlorisBoard for pure functionality.

• I've been working with an odd app where you type at length but the message gets eaten sometimes. So I follow up everything with instant hits of the select-all + copy buttons
• I find the < and > arrows to navigate text much more ergonomic than holding on space to edge around, especially for long strings (webpage forms lol)
• Private clipboard is a measurable peace of mind. Had a heart attack when a private SSH key got autosuggested on the stock keyboard. Not sure if it ever gets TLS transferred anywhere though, e.g. for autocorrect training.

I do switch back to the stock keyboard for emoji search though.

Microsoft Swiftkey no matter what mobile device I’m on (iOS or android). It has a very forgiving autocorrect and great memory. It’s super crashy whenever a new iOS update comes along. But they fix it real fast.

Thumbkey.

I am currently using FUTO keyboard.

Heliboard,, sourced from F Droid with the clipboard enabled.

I used to use Openbaord fom F Droid

Oh boy, where do I start. FOSS mostly

• 8Vim - when I'm drunk or moving a lot
• DotDash - when I wan't to write with morse code just for fun.
• Hackers keyboard - for SSH terminal stuff
• Unexpected keyboard - for SSH terminal stuff and when I need a lot of special characters.
• Thumb-key - when I really have only one hand to write
• Traditional T9 - when I write English and want a good auto-complete.
• Kboard - for my kamoji needs and often reoccurring short messages.

FUTO keyboard

3 that I use for different purposes. Gboard is my default.
Then I have Keepass2android for when dealing with passwords.
Finally I have Irregular Expressions for DoInG👏🅂🅃🅄🄿🄸🄳 ̶k̶̶e̶̶y̶̶b̶̶o̶̶a̶̶r̶̶d̶̶ 𝖘𝖙𝖚𝖋𝖋

Florisboard but it may or may not have your language.

I think it is configured so that you can add languages tho

I just tried the FUTO keyboard and it's almost perfect, but it doesn't detect swipe language automatically. Still, it's a nice option.

I use swiftkey. I type in 3 different languages daily (even in individual conversations) . Swiftkey does this very simply and automatically. Almost no fucking around with changing languages. It just does it by itself.

Would love to use other keyboards, but none of them comes even close if you need multiple languages all the time.

for quite some time I am using Florisboard, a FOSS and privacy-respecting keyboard that has a ton of features. clipboard, undo/redo and copy/paste buttons etc. very useful when writing longer texts.

a aaa aaaaa

Heliboard

Inkwell , it's a florisboard fork , gonna install Heliboard instead... yes I enable clipboard history and even pin items

Heliboard has a clipboard and a lot of other useful stuff.

Unexpected Keyboard

Fossify Keyboard

Enough for my needs. No autocorrect function, which helps me practice my written English. The clipboard function is interesting, as it allows for instant copied text or fixed text, but I seldom use it.

Apple keyboard and I hate it. Gboard for Apple is lame, and most of the others available are paid but I also suspect could be lame, so I don’t want to take the risk.

Thumbkey, Samsung built in when I need a gif.

I simply use the default iOS keyboard.

OpenBoard. FOSS. No predictions or swiping though.

I use Gboard and I absolutely loathe it. It constantly suggests words that are not words, and if I remove them, they don't actually get removed. I'm constantly minimizing the keyboard or recording audio and I have no clue how. I have yet to find anything better

Nintype, although technically it’s the half baked community revival “Keyboard 71”

It has a lot of minor issues but it’s the only keyboard that does simultaneous two finger swiping. the learning dictionary is really good too. i can consistently type around 100wpm accurately with it.

I laugh that the app from my bank throws an error saying all third-party keyboards are malware & unsafe.

I use AnySoftKeyboard still since it has a ton of keyboards & features (tho autocorrect needs improvements).

I use SwiftKey and switch off the app access to the Internet.

Also trying out FUTO keyboard. Seems pretty good.

any app is prob fine as long as you turn its internet access off. they literally have access to everything you type.

Still using Swype, never liked how the other swiping keyboards felt. No clipboard history
