I've been using SwiftKey for waaaaaaay too long. I shoulda switched when Microsoft bought them out.

But old habits die hard. And I love the skin I use.

Help they know everything I've typed on a phone. That can't be good for anyone.

Edit: Holy fuck everyone, thanks for all of the responses!

I went with Heliboard, and typing this, it looks like I have to change a couple more settings to get it like I had Swiftkey, but I already like it more.

The fact you can basically make your own skin by changing all of the colors of the keyboard is amazing.

Fuck microsoft's ai keyboard.

Heliboard for lyfe!

Edit edit: trying to delete my data from Swiftkey was INSANELY hard. I couldn't do it from my phone, so I had to login with a computer. They think they are slick.... Fuckers....

While I do agree and have stopped using the Samsung keyboard, it does have many unique features that I still miss almost daily.

A few that come to mind:

  • a special text editing mode (select all to the left, right; turn select mode on and then move around with arrowkeys while selecting, ...)
  • visual resizing of the keyboard
  • "2D" cursor control (move cursor diagonally)
  • swipe spacebar left/right to change input method (while having spacebar cursor control enabled!)
