I’m looking for a privacy-respecting open-source android keyboard, and so far I’ve found:

Does anyone have any experience with these (or other alternative keyboards)? Which one would you recommend?

I use openboard but it gets me mad sometimes when I start deleting characters and it removes the space between the last word…sometimes it’s really annoying!

Is it while using Jeroba for Lemmy? I had that problem with that app so I switched to Sync for that reason.

No way I didn’t see that! I thought it was while using the English keyboard since it doesn’t happen in message apps and the only place I use English keyboard is in Lemmy (jerboa) … I’ll switch to other app

That’s a Jerboa bug with any keyboard AFAICT. Insane how this hasn’t been fixed yet.

That’s due to a bug with the AOSP keyboard that google has been ignoring for like 6 years.

Can confirm. That behavior stopped after switching to a non-asop based keyboard. Thanks!
