I'm working on a keyboard. What improvements would you make?

When I start typing a string that begins with " https:// ", disable autocorrect/auto capitalization. It gets frustrating having to fight the keyboard any time you type a url.

I don't think your keyboard can help with that? All that stuff is being done by the operating system.

Their iOS app for Gboard has been abandoned for more than two years despite frequent crashes. I've tried to move off of it multiple times, but nothing yet seems to match its swipe to text or autocomplete/autocorrect suggestions.

I've had the same experience as well, and found SwiftKey to be a decent replacement (though I'd prefer gBoard if it wasn't so crashy)

I get that this is one of their jokes, to get attention and for fun. But it would be great if Gboard itself was open source though. I could do a ton of improvements for myself at least. I love the slide / swipe typing gesture input mode in Gboard but it's needlessly closed source. There could be big privacy improvements and great features added. Maybe AnySoftKeyboard is good enough now, I'll check again.

As a German, let me capitalize letters by pressing shift at the end of the word. Swiftkey had this feature. Afaik GBoard does not.

is it? isn’t a coffee cup equivalent to a torus? which is not equivalent to a mobius strip

torus and mobius strip are both genus 1 imagine inflating the mobius strip like a long balloon, so that it loses the edge

The genus is insufficient to determine if an object is equivalent to the other. Orientability distinguishes the mobius strip and the torus, a torus is orientable whereas a mobius strip is not. Therefore, topologically speaking they are not equivalent.

I'd take a one-touch button to temporarily disable autocorrect/auto-capitalization. Either toggled or until next space. I don't usually type the " https:// " part if I'm spelling out a URL, and I type many more identifiers than URLs anyhow.

AnySoftKeyboard¹ has this²; the button disappears with the suggestions but the setting only "sticks" until you dismiss the keyboard.

Maybe on iOS? On Android the keyboard app is fully in charge of autocorrect so they all behave a bit differently.

What is orientability? Why is the torus able but not the mobius strip?
