I have been looking all day for a FOSS keyboard that's under active development. It seems like more of not all of the ones I've seen recommended haven't been updated in over a year some three years. I don't mind if it's a long time between updates but I want to know bugs will be fixed eventually.

For anyone who didn't read the linked cross post: he's looking for FOSS Android on-screen keyboard.

I tried several and settled on the open board fork that has swipe typing.

Sorry. I eventually edited my post. But edits don't federate well for some reason. How do you get swipe on openboard?

[–] warmaster 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You don't. You just install the fork that already has it:

Why isn't this merged in the official version?
