Looking for an alternative Keyboard app - Lemmy.world

Hi friends. My quest to remove Google products from my life continues. I’ve always been very fearful of swapping keyboard apps. I can think of no better way to track someone than to bug their keyboard. How can I trust any keyboard software, really? My wishlist: - Something that addresses my privacy concerns - Supports both english and portuguese dictionaries at the same time - Has a dark theme - Is available on some sort of store, so I don’t have to download APKs for every single update Thanks!

Lots of mentions of OpenBoard here. There is a fork that is under development now, and I am writing this with it now. It is not on F-Droid yet.

FlorisBoard and AnySoft are good, but each has enough annoyancesv that I come back to OpenBoard, which has its own annoyances, but fore are a bit less annoying.

I’m getting frustrated with OpenBoard

  • Underscore is only accessible with the symbols button.
  • After tapping on a wrong word and tapping on a different suggested word, I often end up with an extra space.
  • No emoji search 😟
