    Which of them offer spelling check underline?

      Idk if that’s a feature keyboards have or if it’s more on the os side

        Have no idea. I just know that Swift only does word suggestion, couldn’t find an option to just underline words.

      I’ve not tried Florisboard yet, but OpenBoard doesn’t have it (neither in the main build nor forks from what I can tell) and nor is it available in AnySoftKeyboard’s default install, but it’s highly customizable so it may be an option there.

      That said, isn’t spellcheck underlining more frequently in the apps you’re typing into rather than the virtual keyboard? Tbh I hadn’t ever noticed it in Gboard before, but I haven’t used it in a little while (though in looking into its settings I see it now, I guess I thought it’d been the other apps instead the whole time).

        That is something that has always puzzled me, and yes, I believe you’re right.

        But, the confusing part for me is, Gboard has a spellcheck option, and if I disable it, it doesn’t underline words when typing (in apps that normally check spelling).

        But, let’s take Jerboa for example. It doesn’t work in Jerboa. No matter if enabled or disabled, there is no spellcheck in Jerboa, period.

        And that is why things are confusing. Is it the apps that do the spellcheck or the keyboard 🤔.

      You can enable spell check underline even for keyboards that don’t have it, by changing which app it uses for spell checker specifically. In my case it’s under Android settings >> System >> Languages & input >> Spell checker (under the Tools category), It might be different on your phone, in that case I guess you can just search for “Spell checker” and then u can use Gboard for spell checking for example.

        That’s just it. It’s set to Gboard spell checker, but it doesn’t work in Jerboa.

  Florisboard is nice.
