    Why does every mobile keyboard developer have some controversial shit? I just want to text in peace.

        The only thing I dislike of heliboard is their swipe function requires Google binaries. Most FOSS keyboards either lack some feature I use or are immersed in wild controversies.

          And the implementation is nowhere as good as gboard.

          Futo’s keyboard isn’t much better for slide to type. I find myself switching keyboards back to gboard when I’m not using voice to text or two thumbs.

            I mean, I can’t complain about HeliBoard’s swiping feature, especially considering the alternatives.

        It looks neat but what an absolutely stupid take from a keyboard author

        Because it trusts you to write what you meant to write.

        Butch if I didn’t let it correct me I’d have to actually mook st the keyboard and who the fuck wants to do thatm.

        Phones are tiny and humans are clumsy. I absolutely never mean what I type, as you can see above.
