I’ve been using SwiftKey since before the Microsoft acquisition, but now I want to move on because it’s pushing copilot.

What do you recommend? I’m fine with the play store or F-droid, and I’ll pay for a good one if necessary

    I just switched to HeliBoard. I was using OpenBoard, but I don’t think it was getting updated. The worst part of OpenBoard was it would autocorrect email addresses, so it would turn myemailaddress@gmail.com into “my email address mail come” or something, and if I forgot to hit delete right after it did so, there was no way to undo the autocorrect. HeliBoard seems to recognize the @ and stop autocorrecting it.

    I just discovered that HeliBoard has an undo button! I can’t count how many times I’ve deleted whole sentences or paragraphs by accident while editing a large block of text.

    It has a bunch of other new features and preferences that OpenBoard doesn’t have. For instance, you can swipe up/down from the keyboard in the same way you can swipe left and right to move the cursor.

    It just needs an emoji search.
