Title.

I'm not sure I'm ready to go all "lineageOS full degoogle" on my phone because some rather necessary day-to-day apps for me will freak out if I have root, let alone a modified OS. Buuuut GBoard has gotten right in my tit, and now they're offering nightmarish AI generated emoji and I'm like "NO". So.

I don't really care about predictive text or swipe-typing or any of that stuff, I mostly just type normally.

The only nice-to-haves that might entice me would be support for one-handed mode and a configurable keyboard layout.

No multilingual typing with FUTO though right, or did I miss something?

    As far as I can tell, just the switch menu (hold space), not multilingual. I didn't even realise it was a thing until you mentioned it (in my defence I only speak one language).

    @Dave @EddoWagt they just need to add a language switch, I doubt its that hard

    Is that what multilingual is? If you hold space you can easily switch to any of the languages you added in settings. I thought multilingual was the ability to type in any of your added languages without having to toggle between them?
