I am looking for a good FOSS keyboard with suggestions and the ability to add multiple languages.

I use OpenBoard most of the time and it's good if you are more privacy focused.

Same. Except i had to modify it a little bit because I got used to Swift keyboard having suggestions on inputs that don't support it by default.

Is it possible with this keyboard to swipe instead of type?

[–] AlexPewMaster@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

If you install a fork of it with that feature, yes. I personally use this fork: https://github.com/erkserkserks/openboard

No, it's not possible by now

Totally agree. You can customize it a load. It has a ton of functions even local spellchecking once setup

Second this. Tried a lot of keyboards when moving over to foss, and this one felt hands down the best for me.

I use AnySoft Keyboard. It is very configurable and has a lot of language options.

I use https://github.com/rkkr/simple-keyboard because it has the features "hold space and swipe to move cursor" and "hold backspace and swipe to delete". You can add different languages. Which Android do you use? I'm curious because doesn't any keyboard (android) allow you to switch languages?

I am on Android 13. Thanks I'll give it a try!

I'd probably use it already if it supported emojies...

@nobloat

Haven't seen unexpected keyboard mentioned. Been using that for a few months now. Lots of keys, not many other features. With a compose key, it would almost be perfect. Hackers is my backup keyboard.

Vanilla GrapheneOS keyboard as per their guide.

I'm still waiting for someone to fork Minuum Keyboard
