Eat_Your_PaisleyOpen source android keyboard that works like iOS
Thanks folks! Floris and floris and heliboard do exactly what I’m looking for, floris seems better in my cojple of bours of testing
HeliBoard let’s you move the cursor by swiping on the space bar. Is that what iOS does?
Thanks, that’s exactly what I’m looking for
Just a heads up, glide typing requires loading a closed source library in Heliboard. Instructions are in the readme and it’s pretty straightforward, but it’s something to be aware of.
I’m not sure what glide typing is but I installed the keyboard and I can move the cursor with the spacebar.
It takes a lot of time and a lot of peoples typing data from my understanding. It’s relatively easy for Google to make the glide/Swype type since they have a huge amount of peoples typing data. FUTO on the other hand has been making an open source version for probably 6 months or so no, solely relying on volunteers inputting words on their website.
For those interested in helping make the library better: swype.futo.org (it probably only works on mobile)

FUTO keyboard is NOT open source. It is source available.
TomAwezomeIt looks like the FUTO keyboard license allows all of that, the only exception is that you can’t modify it for commercial purposes. Aren’t there a lot of other OSS licenses with that same limitation? How is restricting commercial modifications bad?
WugmeisterThis is a stock Samsung Keyboard feature
FUTO Keyboard lets you move the cursor with the spacebar like iOS. Also has really good voice-to-text
bonenodeAFAIK it’s open source, just with a non-commercial modification requirement. I’m not sure if that makes it technically not OSS?

I would be careful with FUTO:

FlorisBoard is a good option, very customizable too github.com/florisboard/florisboard
FischI also use that, mainly because of the Gboard theme (called FloriStyle). Makes it kinda like Gboard except open source and not from Google, which is exactly what I wanted. It has basically the same functions (except for typing suggestions, that’s still being worked ob) but I’m pretty sure it’s more customizable, even aside from the themes.
Fossify Keyboard can do it
This is on pretty much all keyboards. It’s on the standard G Board even. Look into the settings of whatever keyboard you’re already using, it’s likely just turned off.
UlrichOh shit is Lemmy (at this instance) going the way of reddit? I don’t like mods much at all. Shouldn’t I decide what to read or not?
People promoting proprietary software, which directly goes against the rules and purpose of this community
Yeah, some of what I wrote got removed by a mod too. In the modlog, here’s the link they provided as the reason why: lemmy.ml/comment/16469376
Lemmy.ml and its moderation, am I getting something wrong? - Lemmy
Yesterday I was reading the post about the FUTO keyboard [https://lemmy.zip/post/31178639] where there were a lot of messages deleted by moderators. I’ve commented there > What the heck happened with all the messages deleted by moderator? And it got deleted. Right now you can only see 4, but I’ve counted 19 messages moderated and the post has been locked. Why? I’ve had a look ad the modlog and the messages don’t seems to violate any policy (now they’ve removed them in the modlog too).

ruth_boothkeyboard.futo.org maybe this? Cursor moves on Spacebar, Swipe works and it has an optional feature to have speech to text.
- Unexpected Keyboard - also has a vertical cursor slide key.
- Thumb-Key - optional setting. Also works intuitively for text deletion on backspace. Text selection too but that’s buggy.
Where is the vertical dedicated key?
