GBoard replacement? (pawb.social)

Title.

I'm not sure I'm ready to go all "lineageOS full degoogle" on my phone because some rather necessary day-to-day apps for me will freak out if I have root, let alone a modified OS. Buuuut GBoard has gotten right in my tit, and now they're offering nightmarish AI generated emoji and I'm like "NO". So.

@Dave @EddoWagt they just need to add a language switch, I doubt its that hard

They have a language switch button actually if you hold the space-bar, but I need it to be without having to switch manually

Is that what multilingual is? If you hold space you can easily switch to any of the languages you added in settings. I thought multilingual was the ability to type in any of your added languages without having to toggle between them?

Yeah that's exactly it for me, I regularly switch between Dutch and English, so having to switch with a button is a nuisance. GBoard allows me to switch without any input

@Dave its quite clunky, you don't really switch languages more like open another instance of the keyboard, a simple language switch can fix this, I'll prob make an issue
