Customizable open-source keyboard

Republished from GitHub / F-Droid by the Zapstore main account.

HeliBoard is a privacy-conscious open-source keyboard, based on AOSP / OpenBoard. Does not use internet permission, and thus is 100% offline. Features: - Add dictionaries for suggestions and spell check - build your own, or get them [here](https://codeberg.org/Helium314/aosp-dictionaries#dictionaries), or in the [experimental](https://codeberg.org/Helium314/aosp-dictionaries#experimental-dictionaries) 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](https://github.com/openboard-team/openboard/commit/83fca9533c03b9fecc009fc632577226bbd6301f), 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](https://github.com/HeliBorg/HeliBoard/blob/main/layouts.md) (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 - can be extracted from GApps packages ("_swypelibs_"), or downloaded [here](https://github.com/erkserkserks/openboard/tree/46fdf2b550035ca69299ce312fa158e7ade36967/app/src/main/jniLibs) (click on the file and then "raw" or the tiny download button) - Clipboard history - One-handed mode - Split keyboard (only available if the screen is large enough) - Number pad - Backup and restore your settings and learned word / history data
