I have been using AnySoft, but its so buggy at this point, its effectively unusable. Judging by the github, its been in this state for at least a year now. I tried to downgrade to an older version in the hopes of fixing it, but couldn’t get it to install. Is there any better options?
thumb-key by one of the creators of Lemmy. It’s also very lightweight and snappy.
It took me a few days to learn though. Now it has become my 2nd nature. I type fast and effortlessly with it. I don’t even look at the keyboard anymore while typing.
Flickboard is also worth checking out if you like this style of typing. It’s on F-Droid.
The dev compares them like this in the README:
I have used Flickboard too and I like both of them.
Flickboard is more advanced and supports a lot more customization. For example, it has macros which expand to symbols and text. You can create shortcuts for your email, math and currency symbols etc.
IME thumb-key is minimal, updated more frequently, and looks better out of the box. So I prefer it.
Oh, thank fuck, a Message Ease-style KB without a subscription and a persistent nag screen even after you buy it. Thanks!!!
I used thumbkey for a couple months. I could use it, but it was never fast. YMMV
