What android keyboard app do you use and why? (lemmy.today)

I use Gboard.

The main things I like about it are:

Very customizable (I like having number row always visible, and having long press for symbols on each letter).
Has gif support built in.

My biggest pain point is:

It auto corrects words that are spelled correctly to other words. I type "our" and it changes to "out", I recently typed "purpose" and it changed it to "purple". Autocorrect is awesome and necessary, but I hate that it corrects words to other words and not just typos. I wish I could find a keyboard that has the things I like without this annoyance.

Am I looking for a unicorn? Let me know! 😄

I used Swiftkey until I noticed that Microsoft is adding weird shit to it and so I deleted it and now I just use the built-in Samsung keyboard because none of the others will be any better.

You can pretty much configure the whole layout. Not sure about gif support though.

Keyboard Designer.

It allows me to put the numbers on the bottom row and the space bar on the 2nd row and the backspace next to the L where it belongs.

Whoa so that's like a build your own keyboard app or something?

Multiling-o keyboard might fit the bill.
