A fork of HeliBoard that uses the Android Window Blur API for a blurred keyboard background. In addition, I have made my own adjustments to the defaults, which make the keyboard look a little more like Gboard by default.
Warning
Please note that the API is not available on all Android devices and the blur effect is not necessarily active even when supported (e.g., in power saving mode).
- Add dictionaries for suggestions and spell check
- build your own, or get them here, or in the experimental section (quality may vary)
- additional dictionaries for emojis or scientific symbols can be used to provide suggestions (similar to "emoji search")
- note that for Korean layouts, suggestions only work using this dictionary, the tools in the dictionary repository are not able to create working dictionaries
- Customize keyboard themes (style, colors and background image)
- can follow the system's day/night setting on Android 10+ (and on some versions of Android 9)
- can follow dynamic colors for Android 12+
- Customize keyboard layouts (only available when disabling use system languages)
- Customize special layouts, like symbols, number, or functional key layout
- Multilingual typing
- Glide typing (only with closed source library
☹️ ) - library not included in the app, as there is no compatible open source library available
