I definitely wouldn't go back to a tracking / fingerprinting keyboard ever again. OpenBoard is my keyboard of choice for nearly a year now and I recommend it to anyone. It's not a problem with all the vowels and it's not terribly difficult to get the right option when this happens, but it's also not an ideal layout.Īnyway, I don't want to be too negative. I expect to see the vowel with a diacritic mark when I long press, but for example the α key defaults to instead of ά. The Greek keyboard layout has some unexpected defaults when you long press the vowels. This is annoying because I often swipe left and right on the space key to move the cursor (genius feature!) and accidentally end up with the popup.

I can't find a way to prevent the space key from triggering the "Choose input method" popup when long pressing it. I used to love that in my old Sony Xperia keyboard There's no swipe-to-type capability as far as I can tell. Same here, except I have three complaints: It is recommended you properly and thoroughly research any product or service you are interested in using.
