Florisboard beta is what I use. Extremely customisable. I think the biggest things that lacks are custom background photo and text-gliding (I ~dont use any of these though).

I made it almost identical to the gboard theme I was using previously and it's so cool.

Best keyboard so far

[–] gayisha@lemm.ee 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Agree.

Wow, I missed the introduction of extensions, thanks! That's cool

I am a big florisboard fan too, but I can not get autocorrect to work? How did you manage that? Also, I have glide typing, how do you not?

Oh, I don't use any autocorrect.😅 Does it have one? I know it has autofill, suggestions with dictionaries and spell check, but not sure if it has autocorrect.

I have all of these disabled (I only have the auto-capitalization after a period and auto period after double space).😄

Wait, are you on beta? I think in they have gliding, but it is only for gestures, not typing.
