Heliboard works really great, but for swiping you need to manually add Google's lib (which I did), and support for alternative language layouts is very basic (if that's something you need).

Futo keyboard has much better word prediction

It's nice, but I've gotten too used to seeing the long-press keys in my previous keyboards, and having a number row. Let's see how the layout for other languages (mainly Japanese) shake out though.

That was the first thing I enabled. The option to show the symbols isn't the bottom of the theme settings

Interesting. Still no number row, but much better. And having voice input integrated means that I can remove the dedicated app. Still really just missing Japanese keyboard layout support.

There's a separate option for the number row but it's on a different page

Yeah I eventually saw it.
