        Sigh, it used to be a good piece of software…before Microsoft bought it. I’m not a fan of gboard though. I want something that is very customizable.

          I moved away from Swiftkey for the same reason and currently I’m pretty happy with what Heliboard has to offer. You can download it from F-Droid.

          Samsung Keyboard literally lets you design your own keyboard layout in a surprisingly robust and rich way. I don’t know if it’s available on non-Samsung phones though, and I can’t wholeheartedly recommend it because it has a bunch of flaws and quirks. For example, every once in a while it seems to do select all + copy + paste, without you going anything besides typing normally. This can scroll the text to an inconvenient place, and remove special formatting. On YouTube if you’re replying to a comment it destroys the username you’re replying to, replacing the special highlight with just their name in plain text.
