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

Not only does it not have swipe typing, it doesn't have suggestions either.

There's only swipe delete and cursor movement.

ive tried bunch of android keyboards, and havent found anything i like more than florisboard, although sadly its development has been stalled for a while. this one is a bit too raw yet imo

No spellcheck, no swipe but works for me. Been using this for a long time.. Minimal app at best

oh I meant swipe to type, by the way I like the swipe to delete option, it's so convenient.

Wish someone would make one with those two finger swipes feature.

The one I'm talking about used to let you complete a word using swipes from two finger simultaneously.

Think it was called nintype or keyboard 69.

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.

Any keyboard with a clipboard manager? Eg last 10 items copied.
