Yeah, I’m not actually sure where the issue is. It only happens for me with openboard, but also only happens in Jerboa. It seems more likely a jerboa issue since it apparently also happens with the AOSP keyboard that openboard is based on, but the distinction may not matter to someone who’s just looking for a good keyboard app
I’ve been meaning to open a bug report in the repo for openboard and jerboa so it can get sorted, but haven’t done so yet
Open board has an active fork here: https://github.com/Helium314/openboard
It has typing suggestions, backspace and space bar gestures, and now some custom theming. Though it does have a weird bug with backspace behavior in the jerboa app- so does the original openboard and aosp keyboard that openboard is based on.
Its not available on f-droid, though hopefully that’ll change in the future, but you can install the apk from the releases tab on github, or you can use obtainium to do that for you and it’ll let you know when there’s a new release
Do it! Community projects only happen when a community makes it happen. Developing an app that has to engage with someone else’s back end is difficult and they could probably use the help
If they don’t like your commit, you can ask them why in case its something easy to fix, and if you can’t make them happy then fork the project
