    I’m a fool that cannot seems to remember how words are supposed to be typed, thus I’m heavily relaying on auto-correct or suggestions like OpenBoard does. If Unexpected Keyboard would support that, I see myself switch to it as my main board

    Been using it for about a month now, and I quite like the repertoire or keys it gives. The only feature I personally find missing here is a clipboard history (it has its own buffer for copying text as far as I can tell, but users can only copy and paste through it, not see its contents)

    Wait. Just NOW it is perfect for everyday use? I installed it for Termux a year ago, and has become my main keyboard on Android since.

      Same for me. I am trying OpenBoard right now but the auto correct is no way near as good and when I go back to manually correct it removes the spaces before words itauto corrected leavingweird things for me to fix like “itauto”. I’m so mad that Microsoft bought SwiftKey.

        Are you using jerboa? The auto correct removing spaces isn’t a general thing, it is specific to a library jerboa uses (compose), which has odd behaviour, causing openboard to malfunction.

        I don’t really have problem with MS buying it, it works nice for me and that’s all i need. i never type my passwords so i don’t have to worry about it.

          MS haven’t done anything to SwiftKey that I have a problem with (to my knowledge). However, the more consolidated my data is the less happy I am. If my data has to go somewhere, I’d prefer it if a bunch of servers owned by different companies have my data, as that makes it harder for companies and to get value out of it.

    Interesting! I’ve been stuck on Fleksy for years as no other keyboard offers anything like it. I’ll give this a try!
