    Many if you combine the language files. AOSP for example, CalyxOS did some additions.

    Heliboard is the best, Florisboard may get it.

      Hi, you’ve given me the impetus to try out ASK instead of SwifyKey, I’m now using ASK :) The one touch language shift is what I want, the mixing of several languages in suggestions is a terrible design I feel.

      Wow heliboard seems like it might be able to finally replace my m$ swift keyboard!

      I really hated having to use that, but I type a lot and it was the only one that had very aggressive auto correct.

      HeliBoard is amazing, I recommend it! For those wondering how to enable simultaneous multi-lingual support (i.e. swipe or text in both languages and get predictions in both languages), I explained it in this comment chain, and included a screenshot for reference:

      I tried both, AnySoftKeyboard was a bit too much effort and took me longer to type on unfortunately. HeliBoard was a nice replacement for SwiftKey for me though.

        Whilst Heliboard is technically capable of doing the job, the dictionaries are pretty lacking. If anybody has any recommendations regarding those? Swiftkey is pretty bad at recommendations and autocorrect, especially multi language, Heliboard is much worse.

          Same here actually, ~10 years too lol, since my first Android. SwiftKey worked very well (for me at least) but its owned by Microsoft, which gathers user data. I’ve been making a switch to FOSS apps and trying to degoogle myself in the recent months.

          It was hard for me to leave SwiftKey due to other options being unsatisfactory / other keyboards always missing something, but HeliBoard did the trick for me :)
