Hackers Keyboard has that via ctrl+z, but only in horizontal mode. For this only i had my Galaxy S3 in horizontal per default. But can't do that with modern phones' aspect ratio and i'm missing undo since then.

Unexpected Keyboard. You can do either Ctrl-Z or set a dedicated undo button accessed by swiping. https://github.com/Julow/Unexpected-Keyboard

I'm using FlorisBoard: https://f-droid.org/packages/dev.patrickgold.florisboard/

Many people also like HeliBoard, which is somewhat simpler: https://f-droid.org/packages/helium314.keyboard/

Florisboard i once provided a bug report, is fixed now, should take a look again.

The sad thing with all of them is the bottom row. Is there a hack around to hide it?

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Hmm, what do you mean with the bottom row? Presumably you don't want to hide the row with the space bar on...?

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The black bar below the keyboard.

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ah, that's the "Android navigation bar". All I know is that Google really doesn't want that bar to get hidden when the keyboard is open, as there's otherwise no guaranteed way of closing the keyboard. So, I'm guessing, you'd need some extremely hacky methods which modify the OS, like XPosed or whatever is the current thing is in that regard...

as there's otherwise no guaranteed way of closing the keyboard.

Should go away if gestures are enabled then, since gesture has "back". F*cking Google.

not sure it's simpler, HeliBoard even has glide typing if you're willing to install the closed source lib.

what features are missing from it?

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

So, uh, after writing that, I realized the most recent FlorisBoard update actually removed quite a few features and this might not be true anymore. 😅

For example, FlorisBoard had glide typing built-in, now it doesn't anymore. Apparently, the dev is working on re-implementing it along with word suggestions (which are currently missing, too).

I actually happen to not need these features, so I kind of forgot. And this most recent update came with an add-on store integration, which seems like it could become quite cool in the future, when there's more add-ons: https://beta.addons.florisboard.org/

Aside from that, I think, FlorisBoard still has a few more configuration options, but on the other hand, HeliBoard has a Kaomoji tab in its emoji selector, so I guess, I'll give HeliBoard another shot. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
