I just tried HeliBoard. Ditching Florisboard for now. I still think Florisboard has potential but it is undeveloped, and HeliBoard has everything you'd expect for a Gboard open source substitution. Let's go! Finally we have our first open source keyboard alternative without drawbacks!
It's been years without a single new feature, and it's literally lacking the most important feature of a phone keyboard.
Without auto correct, you can seperate the wheat from the chaff. /s
It doesn't have swipe functionality, right?
I tried it but couldn't find the option.
Go to advanced settings on your HeliBoard app and look for "Load gesture typing library" or similar. Go to HeliBoard GitHub and look for instructions on downloading the library.
Make sure the downloaded library architecture is the specified by the message you'll see when you click "Load gesture typing library".
It's just 30 seconds and you'll be gesture typing.
It's a shame it's not open but just got around to trying this out.
It works great! Thanks for the heads up!
they are both great, but combined they would be a foss diamond of of cosmic porportions and never before reached ingenuity.
OP, thank you for sharing this. I think this (Heliboard) is my new favorite keyboard that satisfies my personal requirements!!! I mean it.
And to think I almost didn't click on the post because of the title 🤣...
Same I think Heliboard is the perfect replacement for gboard and Samsung keyboard.
yes replacement and improvement, but unexpected keyboard is true innovation. I really like it but for diacritics and "special letters" its just not as good. to type â for example i need to hold a, then select the letter, whilst in unexpected keyboard I just need to swipe a upwards right.
oh I will say it again ... those two apps need to have a baby 😅
Well that's me switched over to Heliboard. I've auditioned a few but that hits the sweet-spot. I don't seem to be getting next word suggestions yet though.
edit: the suggestions are starting to kick in now.
Unexpected Keyboard my beloved.
I can't type on any other keyboard now, the symbols are too far away.
