Iโ€™ve used Florisboard on my device for a few years now, and completely shocked at how barebones the stock Android and Samsung keyboards areโ€ฆ

It can undo, redo, cut, paste, select all, view/insert clipboard history, clear clipboard, and swipe to move the cursor within text. Standard stuff like voice input and swipe typing are here too.

Admittedly itโ€™s not perfect, and probably not ideal for most casual users in its current state, but I just canโ€™t go back to a standard keyboard after using this feature rich one for so long

I tried so hard to stick to Florisboard but gboard is waaay too convenient that I keep going back to it. I wish Florisboard at least adds feature to search among emojis.

How do you turn on swipe typing? And autocorrect, for that matter?

Oh, you need to install the version marked โ€œbetaโ€. Still a pretty terrible typing experience from what I can tell.
