What android keyboard app do you use and why? (lemmy.today)

I use Gboard.

The main things I like about it are:

  • Very customizable (I like having number row always visible, and having long press for symbols on each letter).
  • Has gif support built in.

My biggest pain point is:

  • It auto corrects words that are spelled correctly to other words. I type "our" and it changes to "out", I recently typed "purpose" and it changed it to "purple". Autocorrect is awesome and necessary, but I hate that it corrects words to other words and not just typos. I wish I could find a keyboard that has the things I like without this annoyance.

It's pretty easy to switch, es posible cambiar con una toca. You can map it to a long press or swipe or use a dedicated key.

I have 4 languages i need to constantly switch between. It becomes frustrating after a while

[โ€“] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

How would you like to switch between them? I use 3 regularly with different layouts and I've never had an issue. For me, a keyboard swipe is quicker than a long press and tap to select, or a tap on a single button. It could be any of the above. You can also have the switching button in the top menu or by the space bar.

Is there a better switching method for you?

'Keyboard swipe'? Wdym? I think i might have missed something..

[โ€“] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Sorry, swiping right or left on the spacebar in this case.

[โ€“] Estebiu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It doesnt seem to work for me. Is there a toggle in the settings maybe? Didnt find any..
