So, I’m not sure if anyone knows the answer to this, but can Google know what I’m typing or has any triggers if certain words are spelled out or my passwords are being typed out?

Basically, I’m trying to see if the Google Keyboard app needs to be replaced, since this is something I’ve been using for the past 9 years.

Just a heads up if you’re using Jerboa and switch to a FOSS keyboard: https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/issues/194

TL;DR: AOSP keyboard (and maybe also OpenBoard too) may have some glitches when entering text in Jerboa. If you do change to another keyboard, you might test that and add a comment to that issue to help with finding the root cause.

Anysoft Keyboard on F-Droid. Lots of button customisation options to cater to individual needs.

G-Board almost definitely logs all keystrokes. Ditch it!
