Dammit. Thanks for that. The description made it look like Foss and I fell for it. I’ve only just got my futo trained, but I’ll look at the others you recommended. I got the beta fossify before futo as I like the rest of the suite, but it didn’t even have a dictionary?
I’ve only really used AnysoftKeyboard and Heliboard myself. But my mobile keyboard ‘needs’ are really low - mostly some specifics around terminal keys and multi-language.
Honestly, if your setup works for you maybe don’t rush into changing right now. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good and so on. When you have the time and motivation you can always take some time to investigate the other options more in-depth! Sorry I can’t be of more help here
Only two of the ones you recommended show up in the play store for me. Anysoft got really bad reviews. I tried Unexpected, but it lives up to its name. I didn’t expect to need a read a manual to learn how it works. I’ve made sure futo doesn’t have internet access and it hasn’t sent any data according to android. I’m a Dvorak girl (even though it does make hilarious typos more likely on touchscreen) and its hard to find a good keyboard that works well with Dvorak.
Once fossify’s one comes out of beta, I’ll give it another go.
Oh yes, I cannot vouch for anything on the playstore since I use f-droid for most of the apps on my android. Just makes more sense to me, FOSS platform for FOSS apps.
I do know that AnysoftKeyboard has a bunch of Dvorak layouts since that’s the one I use (the kb not the layout 😅) and so could quickly check.
But regardless, if you are happy with the current keyboard functions I don’t mean to harp on about these others - and I think cutting off outbound traffic for the futo is a clever step!
