I wish “swipe right” could work as a “back” feature in IceCubes, like it does in virtually every other app. Sure, the quick actions are nice for those that want them, but allowing the system default action would also be cool. Having to find the tiny “Back” text far up in the left corner is the main reason I don’t use this app that much. For instance Metatext has a back swipe.

This feels like #sciencefiction!

So the winner appears to be .... Heliboard.
Added the #IzzyOnDroid Repo, which contains a build of it, and loaded the swipe library, and it has the kind of feeling that I want. Thanks to @ButterflyOfFire and @plym for the recommendation and a suggestion to @jsjoshua to actually give it a try.

I also tried AnySoftKeyboard, but that didn't work for me.

Also found UnexpectedKeyboard at github.com/Julow/Unexpected-Ke and must say, this is also a pretty nice one. Just missing swipe, so nothing for my daily driver, but the ease on which you can access all the extra symbols and stuff makes it a nice thing whenever I need to run a terminal on my phone.

I write fanfiction on my phone using swipe, and honestly I think anyone who does this deserves a badge for patience.

Any decent three-syllable word and Google keyboard just has no idea what I'm trying to say until I get 80% of the way through typing it out letter by letter.

So, here I am again, asking the questions that grind their way deep into my heart.

To wit:

Does anyone actually use "swipe" style typing on mobile? As opposed to tapping each letter to type.
