I’ve been using SwiftKey since before the Microsoft acquisition, but now I want to move on because it’s pushing copilot.
What do you recommend? I’m fine with the play store or F-droid, and I’ll pay for a good one if necessary
I just got swiping to work in Heliboard, which is nice. Works and looks just like Gboard. You just have to go to the advanced settings, scroll all the way to the bottom, then load the required library manually.
This is a direct link to the library if you have an ARM 64bit v8 phone. Otherwise, you can find different version in that same repo, I think. Just use the 3-dot menu to download it:

I found the link to that file in this reddit thread:
I just switched to HeliBoard. I was using OpenBoard, but I don’t think it was getting updated. The worst part of OpenBoard was it would autocorrect email addresses, so it would turn myemailaddress@gmail.com into “my email address mail come” or something, and if I forgot to hit delete right after it did so, there was no way to undo the autocorrect. HeliBoard seems to recognize the @ and stop autocorrecting it.
I just discovered that HeliBoard has an undo button! I can’t count how many times I’ve deleted whole sentences or paragraphs by accident while editing a large block of text.
It has a bunch of other new features and preferences that OpenBoard doesn’t have. For instance, you can swipe up/down from the keyboard in the same way you can swipe left and right to move the cursor.
It just needs an emoji search.
HeliBoard is the best so far for me
Looks like I have some keyboards to try out. I’ll try sample all of these but I’ll probably fall on one I like and not think about moving on from there
Give a try to typewise
