I'm trying to build my own degoogled ROM for me, so what are you suggesting? For now I'm on OpenBoard.

Hacker's Keyboard. The only keyboard I'll ever use on Android.

It hasn't had a real release in about 5 years though. It uses a very old API so it's slightly buggy.

I've been using Unexpected Keyboard lately instead. It's the only modern keyboard I've found that has stuff like control and function keys. It uses swiping on keys to get more characters though, so it takes some getting used to. I had to set the swipe distance higher so I don't have as many typos.

It is really good. I'm typing this from it right now.
