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.

Am I looking for a unicorn? Let me know! 😄

    Gboard but with network permissions turned off. Works great. Haven’t had any issues with an autosuggest and swiping. I don’t use autocorrect.

          It’s not a setting, it’s a permission. Android will just not allow an app to connect to the internet if it doesn’t have that permission.

          On regular Android you can’t disable this one though, but on GrapheneOS for example you can.

            Android and gboard both made by Google. I suspect there are exceptions to any system setting. What with google being evil… Sorry i mean, what with the “one rogue engineer” at google who creates so many google agreeable faux pas.

              That’s true, but at least on GrapheneOS, where you can actually disable this permission, Google’s apps don’t get any special treatment. So in that case I’d be fairly certain it actually can’t connect to the internet.
