I'm a fool that cannot seems to remember how words are supposed to be typed, thus I'm heavily relaying on auto-correct or suggestions like OpenBoard does. If Unexpected Keyboard would support that, I see myself switch to it as my main board
Been using it for about a month now, and I quite like the repertoire or keys it gives. The only feature I personally find missing here is a clipboard history (it has its own buffer for copying text as far as I can tell, but users can only copy and paste through it, not see its contents)
@G0FuckThyself it's okay even on iOS. They canceled it for iOS for a couple of months, there was a big stink about it, and I'd bet they renewed development only after they figured out how to shoehorn AI onto it :)
@G0FuckThyself then there's (hidden) features such as word-for-word suggestions of texts you have last written, which is super useful when you lose a typed text in faulty entry fields or something like that. Saved me re-typing so many times.
Same for me. I am trying OpenBoard right now but the auto correct is no way near as good and when I go back to manually correct it removes the spaces before words itauto corrected leavingweird things for me to fix like "itauto". I'm so mad that Microsoft bought SwiftKey.
Are you using jerboa? The auto correct removing spaces isn't a general thing, it is specific to a library jerboa uses (compose), which has odd behaviour, causing openboard to malfunction.
MS haven't done anything to SwiftKey that I have a problem with (to my knowledge). However, the more consolidated my data is the less happy I am. If my data has to go somewhere, I'd prefer it if a bunch of servers owned by different companies have my data, as that makes it harder for companies and to get value out of it.

Wait. Just NOW it is perfect for everyday use? I installed it for Termux a year ago, and has become my main keyboard on Android since.

@G0FuckThyself SwiftKey is definitely THE 3rd-party keyboard on iOS. Even with their tacked-on "AI" bullshit

Interesting! I've been stuck on Fleksy for years as no other keyboard offers anything like it. I'll give this a try!
