I periodically try FUTO. It’s a great keyboard, except for its swiping support. That seems to be gradually improving, but it isn’t quite there yet. Unfortunately that is how I do all my typing, so I keep going back to GBoard. I look forward to leaving it for good.
This has been my issue with every single FOSS keyboard. I can’t live without swipe.
Edit:
Forgot you could download a swipe library for heliboard Here by picking raw and then uploading it to heliboard in advanced settings>load gesture typing library.
I have added the swipe library to FUTO. It works, but not well enough for me. (That may be my clumsy swiping, but the issue remains.) I estimate that it gets about one word in four wrong. GBoard is still wrong about one time in ten, but at that rate, swiping and correcting is still much faster for me than traditional typing.
FUTO keyboard. Try it. Say bye to gboard.
Is it actually called futo? Nothing shows up searching it in fdroid
Yes but I use obsidian not fdroid
Obtanium?
Its another app store. heres futos webpage. https://github.com/futo-org/android-keyboard
I meant is obtanium what you used, think you mixed up that and obsidian the note taking app but found obtanium through futos site
Oh. You’re right. I did get the name mixed up.

I get that. I’m realizing now that I’ve reinstalled it just how bad my one handed swipe is lmao.
Ahh. I only use it occasionally. I’m bad at spelling and need the word predictions too much.
No mandarin unfortunately
