    I had switched to HeliBoard in order to de-Google as much as possible. I’m not militant about it, but if there’s an alternative I’ll take it.

    Decided to try out FUTO because I felt like I was missing swipe typing. And it’s good. But for me it’s just too much. It turns out I didn’t really miss swipe typing, and (possibly just a me issue) that extra feature was making FUTO much less responsive than Heliboard. So back I went.

    I guess for me, simple and fast is more important than replicating my old Gboard experience. But each person is different.

      Heliboard has swipe typing? Just go to the settings and tap on “Gesture Typing”. I believe you have to download a proprietary library for it, though.

      Just learned about heliboard. Thank you! Wrote this with that keyboard and glide enabled as the others have said. Loving it!
