☞ heliboard

I hate it. Every board is almost exactly wrong. There is always something missing.
i used AnySoftKeyboard for years. I started using Heliboard recently and i was able to customise it almost as much as ASK.
Heliboard is less buggy and is updated regularly (unlike ASK which is updated once a year or once in 3 years).
I use HB to write in 3 different languages with habits borrowed from each other so i need to be able to personalise any button and its popups, placements &c to my liking.
If you think that “Every board is almost exactly wrong. There is always something missing.” then you just don’t know how to use heliboard. It’s as flexible as ASK.
Settings > Languages and Layouts > ‘language of your choice’ > Layout
There you can edit the layout and add whatever you think is missing
Yes. I know. I’ve tried it all. It’s pretty much impossible to get it set up exactly the right way. There is always something missing.
you can edit the layouts and add what’s missing
repetition is risky
Thanks will try!
Dunno what languages you talk/use, so going by what I do:
Pretty light and good for European languages from my experience, there’s Simple Keyboard: https://f-droid.org/packages/rkr.simplekeyboard.inputmethod/
Heliboard’s also great for Korean, if you learn it at some point.
Mozc is technically Google’s project, but is on F-Droid and is pretty good for Japanese writing, so kinda of a gray area, I guess: https://f-droid.org/packages/org.mozc.android.inputmethod.japanese/
Fcitx5-Android is pretty good for Asian languages too, specially if your prefer phonetic keyboards instead of Mozc and Heliboard’s visual approach: https://github.com/fcitx5-android/fcitx5-android
