Wait this keyboard doesn’t support swipe typing? Hmmmm

sort of. swiping triggers every letter you cross

Exactly! That's the main innovation. What you can build on top (like a text algorithm) is adding speed and efficiency.

I loved the stylus on my Note 10 Lite so much that when the phone was irreparably damaged I replaced it with another identical Note 10 Lite. I'm now on an S24 Ultra and won't consider a new phone without a built-in stylus.

I dread having to replace my Note 10+ (kind of wish I'd future-proofed a bit by waiting for the 5G model) --- it has a wonderful synergy w/ my Kindle Scribe, Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360 and the Wacom One attached to my MacBook, since they all use the same Wacom EMR styluses.

Yes! I also use the EMR stylus with my Boox E-Ink tablet.

I'm a user of ClearFlow, a layout with similar design goals (and it's available on GBoard by default). Interestingly, ClearFlow is an ortholinear layout, but I'm not sure if that's due to a limitation of GBoard or the intention of its author.

Thank you. Started learning it last night and already up to a workable speed. I was getting frustrated with all the corrections I had to do when gliding on qwerty.
