Sorry. Forget that. Didn't know I could change size on what I already

I keep switching between the two - I can't decide. Gboard seems to work
better with regard to predictive text and learning my style, but
Swiftkey has it for layout possibilities - Gboard makes some keys I use
regularly hard to get at quickly. Currently on Swiftkey, but it's
getting very complicated and I may go back soon. All I can suggest is a
long trial of each one, and then decide. Try Swiftkey first maybe?

I like open source keyboards and I try not to use Google voice typing,
where voice input can be done if you use the open source equivalents.

Long ago I tested every free keyboard on Android and settled with this.

There's a detailed thread on this topic so no sense in adding more here.

Thanks for clicking on the link provided. Most people don't even do that.

That link came from this thread.
*If not the default, what free Android keyboard are you using*
*& why do you like it?*
<https://groups.google.com/g/comp.mobile.android/c/CmZAI0OsXDs/>

Here are the images that are apparently 404 which were in that thread.
