    I use Unexpected Keyboard when I’m working in Termux. It’s Open Source and does allow some layout customization.

    Unfortunately it doesn’t support “glide/swipe typing” so I find it doesn’t replace Gboard for everyday usage.

      Thanks, I’ll take a look. I don’t use glide typing myself.

      EDIT: I don’t think that I’ve tried this one. The support for terminal keys is great – I use Termux, as well as the abilitty to remove the voice typing key. Good access to mathematical symbols.

      There’s no autocorrection support, which the major keyboards have. The spacebar horizontal drag to move the cursor has acceleration that differs feom the gboard one; I prefer gboard there. There is no quick access to some characters that I like, like superscript characters and em-dash.

      It’s definitely a worthy competitor, thanks.
