I always loved swipe typing so much, its the one non foss thing i miss so much. Currently typing off of florisboard, but until we have word recommendations (next big release i think, tho probably a long ways away still) and even a little better swipe typing I cant say a gboard foss alternate is good enough.
Funnily enough i loved keypass 2 androids built in keyboard and would use that if the ui was better, plus swipe typing again. Atleast florisboard can understand most longer words.
But having tried every foss keyboard I can comfortably say, i like floris board the most.
I've found AnySoft keyboard to have decent enough swipe support as well as word predictions. The only complaints I have about it is that the keyboard sometimes shrinks to a weird size if you use autorotate and its word predictions don't support contractions.
Have you tried AnySoftKeyboard? It has solid word predictions and the swiping works great... available on fdroid
I have, can't remember what I didnt like there lol. Its been a while
Not OP but AnySoftKeyboard's word prediction is not as good as GBoard's. Especially when you need to use two languages, there nothing even comes close to GBoard unfortunately.
