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! 😄

I love thumb-key with the two-hands symbols and numbers layout
We need to see a screen recording, with screen touches showing, of you using this...

I'm not very good at it yet I've only been using it for a month or so
Okay that's wild! Props to you for being able to pull that off!
I'm with you. That looks like someone hacking into the mainframe.

It has a number of benefits over a normal keyboard:
- No need for autocorrect since the buttons are so large that it's hard to accidentally press the wrong one
- It's symmetrical so both thumbs can type any letter, so you can type faster, in fact the world record typing speed on a phone was set on a one-handed version of this, i'm sure with the two-handed you can go even faster
- Pretty much everything I need can be hit without switching to another layout (no need for a symbols page)
- The other features of the keyboard are easily accessible, like, copy/paste/select all/undo/redo etc.
It's awesome, it's foss, and not a keylogger like most keyboards.
