I’ve been having a look for one but can’t find any. Am I missing something obvious?

FlorisBoard is in f-droid, and has swipe. What it doesn’t currently have, and has been in the “to do” list for - I don’t know, over a year - is autocorrect. This makes swipe far less effective than on other boards. But it does work well; there are just a lot of spelling errors to fix.

The problem is that It looks abandoned. Not a new release in a year

If it’s feature complete, a keyboard doesn’t need regular updates. According to the other thread it’s not feature complete, so it could be abandoned. Since it’s FOSS any enthusiastic person could stop it from being abandoned.

Yeah after a while I found I had this issue. Now switched to AnySoftKeyboard and it seems to have what I need.

I switched the other way, but I honestly don’t remember why. I’ll have to try AnySoft again.

AnySoftKeyboard, I use it and love it, but it need a lot of time to be configured exactly like you want

I looked at it briefly and just want to confirm - it doesn’t support simultaneous use of multiple languages, od does it?
- owlinsight ( @owlinsight@lemm.ee ) 3•4 months ago
It does! You can download the additional languages and then configure it how you want (a very common one is to swipe on the space bar)

Thanks for the answer. I wasn’t clear enough, I meant being able to write in multiple languages without having to switch to another language, like what e.g. Gboard does.
- owlinsight ( @owlinsight@lemm.ee ) 3•1 year ago
Oh my bad then. I’m not familiar with Gboard having never used it unfortunately. I don’t think then that you can use multiple languages all at once. I can only say that AnySoftKeyboard is very customizable and as far as convenience goes, one can easily change languages with a swipe. You can also add your own exceptions and abbreviations in different languages

Thank you, I will check it out.
- Vega ( @Vega@feddit.it ) 2•1 year ago
Yes, it is possible, but it’s hard to find the option. Here an answer on GitHub https://github.com/AnySoftKeyboard/AnySoftKeyboard/issues/1524
Think I’ve settled on this one. So far so good thanks!

Heck out this post: https://lemmy.zip/post/154760 As far as I can tell https://github.com/florisboard/florisboard is one that support swipe.
That’s great thanks. Just tried it and appears to work well.

Use gboards with a firewall blocking any traffic from it.

Wait, is using GBoard with blocked internet access actually private? I read other people say it is like a keylogger, and probably would bypass the internet restriction.

Swipe sucks
- Cegorach ( @DAT@feddit.de ) 18•1 year ago
that’s your opinion (I share it)
but that totally isn’t a valid response that’s helping OP in any way.
- Haphazard9479 ( @Haphazard9479@lemm.ee ) 6•1 year ago
Your response is a fact. And I admit that.
Maybe for you but I prefer it 😛
