        The problem is how aggressive it is with its Personal Dictionary use; it auto-applies shorthand instead of requiring you to tap in the autocorrect pane. I’ve sorta gotten used to it, but it’s quite a departure from every other keyboard I’ve ever used.

          Also it has some quite annoying behaviors with copy paste :

          • not always pasting the latest copied text
          • deleting whole pasted text when deleting last character after pasting

            I don’t think I experience the first bullet, but yeah, the full clipboard deletion issue I deal with as well. Some others and I circumvent it by typing a space or other character and then deleting it.

            You know what? Maybe we should try Futo after all 🤣

    Lol this has been on FUTO forever. It has better voice typing, too, and its all on-device.

      Let me know when they fix the Swype accuracy (currently it’s unusable)

      I was about to say the only thing missing from futo keyboard is multilingual typing, but then I checked to be sure, ans turns out they already added that!

    Just needs florisboard to have swipe typing and word suggestions/autocorrect back. Then I can ditch Gboard

    Also I need to close a bank account because its bank app doesn’t even allow a third party keyboard. Yes, it’s bloody asinine, and there are plenty of people that have the bank 1 star reviews and they still double down on “It’S fOr SeCuRiTy AnD yOuR oWn GoOd”

    Extremely frustrating
