What is a good FOSS Android app to scan documents and immediately convert them to pdfs? On Microsoft Lens, you can take multiple scans and also merge different ones together to create a combined PDF. Thanks.

Can you get to the numpad layout with one button or gesture? That's one of the boxes that need checking for me. I am extremely fast with a numpad layout, and I type a lot of numbers so I also want a fast way to get to it. I don't even think OpenBoard had a numpad at all if I remember correctly.

These are some of the things I want in a keyboard, in no particular order:

  1. Good predictive slide typing
  2. Word suggestion bar for misspelled words
  3. Slide on spacebar to move cursor
  4. Slide on backspace to select and slide cursor
  5. Hold on backspace to delete entire previous word
  6. Have a clipboard manager that is a single action to get to
  7. Have a numpad that is a single action to get to
  8. Show hinted symbols
  9. Have a microphone button

Florisboard is the closest to what I want, it has all the features, the word suggestion bar just isn't very good right now. I've been using Swiftkey for over a decade, before Microsoft bought it, so it's hard to make the change from it. But once Florisboard works out the word suggestion bar, I'll be switching.
