I am looking for a good FOSS keyboard with suggestions and the ability to add multiple languages.
I use OpenBoard most of the time and it’s good if you are more privacy focused.
Is it possible with this keyboard to swipe instead of type?
No, it’s not possible by now
Same here. It works well, and it actually was the only FOSS keyboard for which I managed to properly set up a Bépo layout like I wanted.
Same. Except i had to modify it a little bit because I got used to Swift keyboard having suggestions on inputs that don’t support it by default.
I use AnySoft Keyboard. It is very configurable and has a lot of language options.
I use https://github.com/rkkr/simple-keyboard because it has the features “hold space and swipe to move cursor” and “hold backspace and swipe to delete”. You can add different languages. Which Android do you use? I’m curious because doesn’t any keyboard (android) allow you to switch languages?
I’d probably use it already if it supported emojies…
I am on Android 13. Thanks I’ll give it a try!
+1 for simple-keyboard
Another one that i use is Florisboard. It also supporta hold space and hold backspace. Additionally you can customize the layout and glide typing is available for english
I use FlorisBoard
Second this. Tried a lot of keyboards when moving over to foss, and this one felt hands down the best for me.

Just the other day I discovered 8Vim and I’m exited to learn how to use it. It’s a little buggy and it doesn’t seem to support umlaut letters, so I can’t use it for my native language.
Others I use are Hackers keyboard (for SSH), Anysoft, and Jbak. Not sure if the last one is FOSS.
