    I tried FUTO keyboard out for so long and spent ages contributing swipe data. But its without a doubt the worst keyboard all ive ever used. Kills battery and has bad autocorrect.

    I'm using heliboard now and it has no swipe but at least auto correct works well and its good on battery.

      Typewise.

      Once you get used to it, it is very good. Nice large buttons, fast typing, strong privacy (e.g. EU based, on-device-only learning for next word suggestions), customizable, and you can also get the pro version forever with a single purchase instead of using the subscription model.

          8vim is wonderful. I love to use it in combination with droidvim and/or vim on my terminal emulator

            I want to use it exclusively so bad, but I spend most of my time deleting and manually rewriting almost every word when I need to type fast. Been using a swipe keyboards for over a decade, and its swipe feature is still so far behind usable.

            And Arabic voice recognition on the advanced multilingual model is garbage, it just types random shit that doesn't even rhyme with what I said.

            Once I removed all the TTRJ type non-word allcaps crap from the dictionary, it became much more usable for me.

                I'm soooo fucking glad for this question. I've been using thumbkey for like a year, after I got fed up using a normal keyboard. It's sooo convenient I feel like I make a lot less typos using it and sometimes I can even type without lookin at my screen

                        I tried really hard to like it, but when I found myself starting to two thumb type instead of swiping, I had to remove it. I don't even use my phone that much, but when I send a text I need to not have to fight my phone to write the words I'm trying to write.

                          You can get get glyde typing with Heliboard but it requires a proprietary library.

                              Going to try thumb key thanks to this thread and see how it goes. Seems like a steep learning curve but I dig the concept of it. Wrote this (slowly) in it.

                                    Unfortunately Microsoft SwiftKey since its the only one that autocorrects in a correct way when I type and hit the wrong keys.

                                      Same here. The FUTO keyboard seems to have the best swiping feature among open source keyboards.

                                        Thumb-key by Lemmy's own dessalines. I even contributed a layout early on, and it's still there.
