Anyone tried this? Works perfectly for me. Any reason why I should go back to the OpenBoard fork with Swipe?

Jeez, I tried it before and just tried again now and I can not find the swipe to text option. I think I’m either blind or stupid. I hope I’m not both

Long press the comma will bring up the settings button. Then it is on the main page of the settings.

Dude !! You made a video in order to help me ?! Thank you so much.

I don’t have the option for gesture typing though. I have this version installed:

That’s bizarre. That’s the same version I have. The only thing I can think of is that your system language isn’t English and maybe it removes that option. ¯_ (ツ) _/¯ If that is the case it’s unfortunate that it doesn’t work for different languages.

You could try switching the system language to verify that that is what is happening. I have no idea what kind of effort it takes to add that feature for other languages but you could always ask the Dev.

Maybe it doesn’t work for French? Or just the gui option isn’t exposed for French, idk… Try switching Android language to English, see what happens.

Are you sure you have the fork with gesture typing support? They’re both called OpenBoard with no external distinction.
