Keyboard Options (lemmy.world)

So, I'm not sure if anyone knows the answer to this, but can Google know what I'm typing or has any triggers if certain words are spelled out or my passwords are being typed out?

Basically, I'm trying to see if the Google Keyboard app needs to be replaced, since this is something I've been using for the past 9 years.

I doubt they see what you're typing as that would've been observed already.

Yes, you should replace the keyboard. I'm running FlorisBoard myself, but there are plenty of other options.

I like the idea of using FOSS, thanks for the suggestion.

FlorisBoard is wonderful in my opinion, there hasn't been a release in a while but it has a pretty good design, and some useful features like arrow keys (only left and right) that you can enable. It's been my favorite keyboars for a couple of years now.

I've fairly recently found out that swiping the spacebar does the horizontal scrolling across the characters! Thoroughly enjoyed that :)

Oh really? I never knew that. That makes it even better in my opinion, I spend too long trying to click in a semi-correct place before I highlight text.
