    I didn't last long with the stock keyboard before installing AnySoftKeyboard which is one of the few FOSS alternative with support for swipe typing. The experience was... OK. It felt slow and it's accuracy left a lot to be desired. I still had to be slow and pretty accurate, so it didn't really feel like much of a change from the stock experience. FlorisBoard have also introduced their own implementation but the feedback I read suggested it would be much the same as my experience with AnySoftKeyboard's gesture typing.

    The Github code repository (https://github.com/florisboard/florisboard) had an update on February 24, so the app is not abandoned. It reads like they plan a massive update for the next version, and word suggestions will be available.

    I tested two: AnySoftKeyboard, it's stable and works even on very old devices, but it lacks modern features and the settings are really ugly and confusing (but once you look at all of them, you'll be able to make the keyboard the way you like it, is very customizable). And I also tested FlorisBoard, it's modern, beautiful, but it's a work in progress currently in early-beta stage and it has many incomplete or buggy features. So I ended up with AnySoftKeyboard. I know there are others, but it was these two projects that caught my attention the most.
  • Custom keyboard extension

    Probably only via AOSP mirror. It's an AOSP component so not officially available as its own component. Check out https://github.com/florisboard/florisboard for a GitHub based OSS keyboard.
  • Any good (preferably FOSS) keyboards to recommend?

    The developer is rewriting the word suggestions feature. It was removed in v0.3.14 and is planned to be ready in v0.4.0.

    Version 0.3.13 of FlorisBoard was the last version that supported both glide typing and word suggestions at the same time. If you install that version, you can disable updates for the app on F-Droid (and your other app stores) to lock in this version until FlorisBoard restores the word suggestions in its next version.
