Anyone tried this? Works perfectly for me. Any reason why I should go back to the OpenBoard fork with Swipe?
I have been using Simple Keyboard for more than a year now and I’m a big fan of it, no annoying auto corrections or spooky telemetry, and the swipe to move the cursor or delete it’s really amazing.
Does it actually have swipe typing? I just downloaded to check and it doesn’t seem like it does.
There’s a fork of Openboard that has swipe to text.

Hey fellow Lemmy … Thx a lot for this tip!
Was messing around with floris today, which is nice … But funding this fork is great - missed swiping more than expected
Unfortunately the development seems stale
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
Are you sure you have the fork with gesture typing support? They’re both called OpenBoard with no external distinction.
Long press the comma will bring up the settings button. Then it is on the main page of the settings.
Florisboard also has gesture typing, however i rarely use it. I find i make a lot more mistakes than i did swipe typing with gboard
Not only does it not have swipe typing, it doesn’t have suggestions either.
There’s only swipe delete and cursor movement.
No spellcheck, no swipe but works for me. Been using this for a long time… Minimal app at best
Any keyboard with a clipboard manager? Eg last 10 items copied.
