I use OpenBoard most of the time and it's good if you are more privacy focused.
F-Droid
F-Droid is an installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform. The client makes it easy to browse, install, and keep track of updates on your device.

Same here. It works well, and it actually was the only FOSS keyboard for which I managed to properly set up a Bépo layout like I wanted.
Is it possible with this keyboard to swipe instead of type?
If you install a fork of it with that feature, yes. I personally use this fork: https://github.com/erkserkserks/openboard
No, it's not possible by now
Same. Except i had to modify it a little bit because I got used to Swift keyboard having suggestions on inputs that don't support it by default.
I use FlorisBoard
Totally agree. You can customize it a load. It has a ton of functions even local spellchecking once setup
Second this. Tried a lot of keyboards when moving over to foss, and this one felt hands down the best for me.
I was following this for a while but see it hasn't received an update in a year now, is it abandoned?
Development is still active, there just hasn't been a new release yet.
A year is a long time to go without an update especially when so many features are still missing. If I recall previously the app was seeing very regular releases. Doesn't inspire much confidence in the project, although I hope im mistaken as i think it has a lot of potential.
There's a beta version that gets regular updates
It's been 9 months since the Beta was updated from what I can see, but the dev does appear to be active on github so hopefully it's not abandoned and we can see a release soon.
I use AnySoft Keyboard. It is very configurable and has a lot of language options.
I use https://github.com/rkkr/simple-keyboard because it has the features "hold space and swipe to move cursor" and "hold backspace and swipe to delete". You can add different languages. Which Android do you use? I'm curious because doesn't any keyboard (android) allow you to switch languages?
+1 for simple-keyboard
Another one that i use is Florisboard. It also supporta hold space and hold backspace. Additionally you can customize the layout and glide typing is available for english
I'd probably use it already if it supported emojies...
I am on Android 13. Thanks I'll give it a try!
Unexpected keyboard when using termux.
Haven't seen unexpected keyboard mentioned. Been using that for a few months now. Lots of keys, not many other features. With a compose key, it would almost be perfect. Hackers is my backup keyboard.
Vanilla GrapheneOS keyboard as per their guide.
I'm still waiting for someone to fork Minuum Keyboard
I use AnySoftKeyboard, configuring it is a mess but it's super customizable and one it's set up it's great.
