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! πŸ˜„

  • Heliboard, very customisable and doesn't send all my typing to a MAGMA company's servers.

    • Nice, this is the first FOSS board I see that can actually replace my SwiftKey layout. Thanks for the suggestion

    • Too bad it doesn't support pasting image urls as images.
