GBoard replacement? (pawb.social)

Title.

I'm not sure I'm ready to go all "lineageOS full degoogle" on my phone because some rather necessary day-to-day apps for me will freak out if I have root, let alone a modified OS. Buuuut GBoard has gotten right in my tit, and now they're offering nightmarish AI generated emoji and I'm like "NO". So.

I don't really care about predictive text or swipe-typing or any of that stuff, I mostly just type normally.

The only nice-to-haves that might entice me would be support for one-handed mode and a configurable keyboard layout.

OpenBoard isn't updated anymore, use HeliBoard instead (it's a fork that's actively maintained). It's also on F-Droid https://f-droid.org/en/packages/helium314.keyboard/
