Heliboard is fantastic ❤️
- glide typing.
- multiple languages at the same time (without switching).
- extremely customizable in nearly every way.
- customize long-press options for each key with multiple / list of options. For instance, I’ve extended the number keys row with my most-used emojis, so holding ‘1’ gives me a pop-up with ‘❤️😍😘🥰’, 2 gives ‘🙂😊😃😄’, etc.
- ‘snippets’ via custom dictionary with shortcuts (typing ‘xx’ shows my primary email for 1-click insertion, ‘yy’ shows secondary email; endless possibilities). Possible with most keyboards, though.
- and so much more.
I haven’t found anything that comes even close.

In addition to glide typing, Heliboard also has some of the best layout customization options out there, such as the option of disabling context-dependent menus. I HAAAAAATE how other keyboards change the keys available on the period key menu on URL bars. I use colons and forward slashes way more often than “.com”, which I use… well, never.
