Anyone tried this? Works perfectly for me. Any reason why I should go back to the OpenBoard fork with Swipe?
Does it actually have swipe typing? I just downloaded to check and it doesn’t seem like it does.
There’s a fork of Openboard that has swipe to text.

Jeez, I tried it before and just tried again now and I can not find the swipe to text option. I think I’m either blind or stupid. I hope I’m not both
Long press the comma will bring up the settings button. Then it is on the main page of the settings.
Dude !! You made a video in order to help me ?! Thank you so much.
I don’t have the option for gesture typing though. I have this version installed:
That’s bizarre. That’s the same version I have. The only thing I can think of is that your system language isn’t English and maybe it removes that option. ¯_ (ツ) _/¯ If that is the case it’s unfortunate that it doesn’t work for different languages.
You could try switching the system language to verify that that is what is happening. I have no idea what kind of effort it takes to add that feature for other languages but you could always ask the Dev.
Uninstall and reinstall did the trick 🤔
Thanks for helping :)
Oh, that’s awesome!
that’s actually really good - thanks!
Florisboard also has gesture typing, however i rarely use it. I find i make a lot more mistakes than i did swipe typing with gboard
Hey fellow Lemmy … Thx a lot for this tip!
Was messing around with floris today, which is nice … But funding this fork is great - missed swiping more than expected
Unfortunately the development seems stale
I like openboard because of the similarities to gboard and this fits the bill well. However I do agree that this fork doesn’t seem active. But I have a feeling that perhaps it was just a personal project to add swipe to openboard.
Google Play page says it doesn’t and probably never will.

I’ll try it again when it has suggestions.
No spellcheck, no swipe but works for me. Been using this for a long time… Minimal app at best
Wait, it does hace swipe. I’m using it.
oh I meant swipe to type, by the way I like the swipe to delete option, it’s so convenient.
Any keyboard with a clipboard manager? Eg last 10 items copied.
Florisboard
Wish someone would make one with those two finger swipes feature.
Thumb-key?
The one I’m talking about used to let you complete a word using swipes from two finger simultaneously.
Think it was called nintype or keyboard 69.
I have been using Simple Keyboard for more than a year now and I’m a big fan of it, no annoying auto corrections or spooky telemetry, and the swipe to move the cursor or delete it’s really amazing.
