Is there a good android keyboard on f droid that is privacy and swipe friendly?

Not at all sure my stock kb is doing me any privacy favors.

  • i use Thumb-key,
    its very strict about privacy,
    and all about swiping inputs.
    but its a rather radical concept.

    i used hacker's keyboard a lot,
    but i never used swiping before Thumb-key,
    so i dont know how well it supports swiping.

    I also used Gboard a lot, because i really like the clipboard functionality,
    but thats obviously what you are trying to get away from.

    • Thumb-key looks interesting. How steep do you think the learning curve is?

      ETA: clarity

      • id say it took at least a week of concious effort to not switch back.
        after that it was still patchy but usable for a few weeks.

        now i mostly got it down, and imo my biggest gripe now is the lack of a dictionary/spellcheck.

        keep in mind that i dont chat much,
        so it might be a faster adaption, if you write a lot.
