Thanks for linking! Currently using OpenBoard but not a fan of the lack of swipe. FlorisBoard is en route to swipe but it's still very much in beta (but feels like alpha)
Comment on Do you use the swipe to type feature on your phone?

I do now. I’ve been using OpenBoard for a few years after ditching the Google spyware keyboard, and recently I’ve learned about a fork of OB with gesture typing. It’s perfect if I have just one hand available.

I’m not optimistic about Floris. A while ago they’ve made the decision to completely rewrite everything - a common occurrence among small-time FOSS projects, and almost always results in the project completely dying (or in a “better” case scenario, coming out of the ordeal as only a shell of its former self). Floris Board… Has not had any receipt in a while.
But fortunately with this fork of OB existing, there isn’t much need for it anymore. It would be nice to have a selection of modern FOSS keyboards, but, ah well.

Does it work with password manager apps like Google keyboard does?

Idk I don’t use those.

I’ve swiped since the early days of Swype. This forked version of OB let’s you swipe only on the English layout. Swipe doesn’t work for the other two languages I use. And English isn’t my main one. Don’t see much development for the keyboard either, so I’ll probably have to wait a long time to use it as a daily driver. So, sadly I’m stuck with GB for now…

You can try AnySoftKeyboard or FlorisBoard, but both are more experimental than OB the commercial products.
