What android keyboard app do you use and why?
What android keyboard app do you use and why?
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! 😄

Gboard is pretty good. I switched off Swiftkey because Gboard has the lil space bar cursor thing. Swipe typing is pretty great, and the predictions are fine.
I would prefer a non-Google keyboard, but I haven't found one that's easy to install and works the way I want it to.
Yeah that's exactly my experience, too. Nothing else I've tried has all the features I want.
Just switched to Futo after years and years of gboard. Its a 1:1 replacement, give it a try.
Not exactly 1:1. The main thing that I still miss is multi lingual typing. It's not too big a deal to just switch the languages when I need to, especially since I only use 2. But that's still more than I needed to do with Gboard or Heliboard.
I'll give it a shot, thanks!
SwiftKey has the spacebar cursor and swipe on backspace to select whole word to delete as well now.
