I've used AnySoftKeyboard for ages as it's infinitely customizable while also fully respects privacy. But it does take time to dial in every component. I give the Graphene keyboard a go every now and again, but AnySoftKeyboard is still my go to.

I have it installed, but miss some minor features. Swipe left to delete, to begin with. Hold to move cursor. Such small quality of life features. Or am I missing them?
As of 2019, the swipe to delete was an option labeled "Back-word" but a name change was being discussed. There's also an option to move the cursor after holding the space bar too, just not sure of the name but it should be somewhere in the settings.
Thanks. Will go through the settings again. Will definitely give it a spin. Am typing this mesaage with that keyboard. 👍
Hold your 'Maters!
I genuinely enjoy GBoard. Now; I get it. It's not for everyone and it hasn't got the best...track record.
It does actually surprisingly work very well; and I have yet to see anyone on the FLOSS/F-Droid side of things manage to create a keyboard with similar functionalities. I get that it may be an impossible ask, but it seems like nobody on F-Droid is interested in creating a keyboard inspired by GBoard that actually has all the similar QoL features that GBoard offers.
I think people don't like it bc it's made by Google. They are definitely tracking everything typed on it lol

FlorisBoard, hands down. I have tried many keyboards since maybe 2013, and FlorisBoard are the best one yet. It is privacy friendly too.
Trying this out it's pretty good so far
You'll love it
I like it. Missing auto correct is an issue, though. Will watch it. 😃
unexpected keyboard on f-droid
Gboard
I'm still using Minuum Keyboard. I think that QWERTY on a touchscreen keyboard is counter intuitive, slow and cumbersome. I wish more keyboards adopted single line keyboard layouts with fuzzy typing.
I forgot about Minuum! Is that still under development?
Edit: last update was 2017. Disappointing. Now this could be an interesting FOSS project!
Honestly, if someone would clone it and open source of... 🤤
Gboard with a ios like style from Rboard Manager
AOSP keyboard. No muss no fuss. KISS
Does anyone have thoughts on Fleksy? Hasn't been updated in a long time, but typing is quite fast on it. Autocorrect works exceedingly well.
