What keyboard do you use/recommend for use with Termux on Android? I use Hacker's Keyboard but the layout it's ugly.

    My bluetooth keyboard.
    I can switch between my phone, personal computer, and work laptop with a button. It's wonderful.

    In all seriousness, I really love swiping, and most keyboard apps don't support that. I don't trust the ones I've found that do. Why the fuck does a keyboard app make http requests? Especially that many!? No. I'll stick with bluetooth.

    Yes, BT is sniffable.
    No, I'm not paranoid.
    Yes, some keyboard apps are keyloggers, because of course they are. Why wouldn't they be?
    Having read their respective privacy policies, no, I don't trust Google nor Samsung.
    Yes, I know about predictive typing/spelling dictionaries. One http request a month would be enough for that, not many a day.

    >tfw @Root investigates and finds things she doesn't trust doing things she shouldn't trust them doing.
    >tfw @Root is disappointed, but not surprised. Again.

    Anyway.
    Sorry for the tirade.

    Have you found any open source swipable keyboards that aren't terrible?

    @Root I have a Bluetooth keyboard too (Logitech K480) but I want a hardware-less solution for those moments in the bus, for example.

    @LuxARTS Agreed. Sadly I have no answers nor suggestions ☹

    @moedemonic Definitely not! I'm kind of angry that I can't remove it from my phone. Thanks, Samsung.

    CodeBoard is decent but usually I just use the GBoard/default.
