Which keyboard app do you use on your phones? Do you enable clipboard history in it? - eviltoast

I use Gboard, as I’m on Android.

Do you use Gboard or the clipboard feature? Or use a similar feature of an other keyboard app?
Do you use apps like NetGuard or TrackerControl to restrict net access to the keyboard apps?

Have tried some FOSS apps some years ago, but didn’t stay on them because, Malayalam(my mother tongue) and the handwriting mode(which is quite good), is not available in most other apps.

I had thought about turning on the clipboard history option and am thinking about the privacy/security aspect behind it. As per Gboard, it remembers history for 1 hour and there seems to be no sync option. So it seems sort-of safe. Thinking about such things since I do copy-paste OTP’s.

    Also using this, but the swipe prediction is garbage sometimes.

    In the sentence above, it didn’t predict 3x words, nor give me the correct one as an option, and I had to type it manually.

    If I swipe really slow, it performs a little better. But who wants to do that?

    Maybe in doing something wrong in the settings.

    What I like about it: it isn’t google, and I can use a QWERTY layout, with number row, and the shift+number matches that of a standard keyboard. Couldn’t get that to work with other FOSS keyboards,
