I have been looking all day for a FOSS keyboard that’s under active development. It seems like more of not all of the ones I’ve seen recommended haven’t been updated in over a year some three years. I don’t mind if it’s a long time between updates but I want to know bugs will be fixed eventually.
AnySoftKeyboard has beta releases once a week, although idk how well they work. I’ve been using the stable version for years and I like it (although the autocorrect can be a bit silly sometimes).
UnexpectedKeyboard is the coolest and lets you easily type (what feels like) every single UTF-8 character imaginable lol. The typing feeling isn’t as nice and I don’t think there’s any autocorrect though so I don’t use it.
UnexpectedKeyboard is amazing. Changed to it after BlackBerry keyboard.
tho there’s absolutely zero dictionary and prediction, the fact it has proper modifier keys like ctrl, alt, function keys alone takes the cake, but you can literally map any character to anywhere, and access even more by swiping on the keys.
I don’t know how’s the developnent, haven’t checked for updates for a while, because I modified it a bit for my taste.
It’s kinda on my list to fork it and add autocorrect, dictionary and prediction to it, unfortunately I don’t have much time :/
