Off topic, can anyone recommend an Android keyboard that allows copy and paste the way Swype did (swipe to c, swipe to v) since Swype went out of business and the stock Google keyboard bizarrely doesn't let you copy and paste?
- jhauris 5y agoUsing Google's Gboard (stock on my phone), long press allows copy or paste. Selecting the text to copy is annoying, though.
- commoner 5y agoI don't know of a keyboard that replicates Swype's exact behavior (swiping from the Swype button to C or V). For rapid text manipulation, AnySoftKeyboard lets you swipe up from the spacebar to show a utility menu with buttons for cut, copy, paste, undo, redo, text selection mode, home, end, and the 4 arrow keys. Copying and pasting in AnySoftKeyboard is pretty quick. It's also free and open source. https://anysoftkeyboard.github.io https://anysoftkeyboard.github.io
- Noumenon72 5y agoI like it -- it's less taps than Swype-A, Swype-C because you usually select all and then copy right away. Thanks!

- trickstra 5y agoFloris keyboard (also on f-droid) has copy & paste buttons directly above the letters. Faster than swiping.
- tweetle_beetle 5y agoI would recommend FlorisBoard[1] to anyone looking for an alternative to Google/OEM apps. It is in beta and lacks a bit of polish, but the rate of development is very high and the results already much better than some of the other open source keyboard apps which have stagnated for a long time.
