Loving it, I've been looking for a more customisable keyboard.

Is this better in any way tohan florisboard? I've been using it (florisboard) for a year now and had no problems and have loved its features (especially the text navigation arrows and clipboard history).

Does not use internet permission, and thus is 100% offline.

Does the AOSP keyboard access internet?

Nice! Guys, any ideas of when other languages keyboard will stop underline red the words that are correct? I don't like to use multilingual keyboard, I prefer to have multiple keyboards with their own dictionaries. Everything else seems to be working quite well for me. Am I missing something?

If you can't tell me what it is or how it's useful to me when I scan through the primary landing page, not worth my time.

There's a section you're supposed to read called readme, it's really your fault unless you've never installed software from github before.

HeliBoard is a privacy-conscious and customizable open-source keyboard, based on AOSP / OpenBoard. Does not use internet permission, and thus is 100% offline.

First Paragraph of the readme.md in that repository.

I mean in a way he has a point next time I'll add the description in the news and the small description in the text.

Looks nice but I wish the clipboard history could be based on number of items and not just time.

I'm sure that could be implemented.

Why do they always tell you it's the successor of whatever, but never what it is for?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Read the whole sentence?

It was late...

Why do I have to read a hole?
