Gesture typing / swiping

[jerry1970]

I see the terms "swiping", "gesture typing", and then also "Horizontal spacebar swipe gesture". I have seen different explanations for all these so I don't really know what is considered what in this repo, to be honest.

For many years I used swiping in SwiftKey to type whole words. It worked great, but MS taking over SwiftKey was not so great. I tried Google keybaord (without network access) but that just does not work very well.

HeliBoard is the best so far when it comes to having multiple languages. Best thing: it is the first app I only need two keyboard layouts (UK/SE) for the three languages I write (UK/NL/SE).

But I do miss swiping words (gesture typing)? The docs tell me it might be possible but I would like a little more info on how to make this possible.

Thanks!

Mir erging es exakt sgenauso! Swiftkey war durch seine Autokorrektur und die swipe-gesten Eingabe unschlagbar. Ich habe es Seit dem ich ein Smartphone hatte verwendet. Auch der Support von Gif und die eingebaute Übersetzung ist unschlagbar.
Nach einigen Monaten habe ich mir jedoch auch überlegt, dass mir Datenschutz wichtig ist. Nachdem dort auch AI eingebaut wurde.

Die Swipe Funktion von Swiftkey hat die Eingabe mit einem Finger total vereinfacht, vor allem wenn man Micro-Smartpohnes verwendet. https://www.unihertz.com/de-de/products/jelly-star
Das fehlt mir bei dieser Tastatur sehr!

Ah! Took a while to find that but then it was really easy. Thank you very much! It seems to work!

Thank you for this. Worked perfectly!

There is a section about this in the FAQ and the readme. Is there anything to make it more clear?

Whether it's called gesture typing, swiping, swyping, glide typing... all this is used interchangeably, no idea what would be "best".

(closing because initial question is answered)

Thanks I loaded it but how do I specify gestures?

I want e.g. to swipe L to Select All or swipe Down or Γ to Delete All (swipe within all keyboard area}.

Thank you

Sorry, but I don't know. I don't use gesture typing. I just know how to load it.

The option is not searchable, I can't find that option in latest update.
