This is a tangent, but is there a good keyboard app for Android that doesn't have emoji? I'm tired of hitting the emoji button accidentally and having emoji show up in autocomplete.

You can do this with the Google Keyboard. Long-press the comma on the left side to open the settings menu, and then it's Preference > "Show emoji key switch". Set that to off and it should hide it under the same comma key long-press.

Edit: I should say this is Android 10 on Pixel 3a, not sure about other versions/manufacturers.

If you are willing to put some effort into learning how to use it, you could give MessagEase a try:

(I'm using it because in my particular case predictions and autocorrect of other keyboards always backfired, plus swiping on those big buttons works better than trying to hit the right tiny qwerty button)

Giving this a try. Its really ugly but the concept works.

Someday I might buy an ortholinear keyboard for the desktop, it depends really on when the DasKeyboard deck breaks.

Swiftkey has a setting to remove the dedicated emoji key.

I have the emoji key turned off but they still show up when you long press the enter key which I somehow manage to do a lot

I was just thinking I should look into making one if there isn't one, seems like there would be market for a good, simple keyboard app.

what about anysoft keyboard? it might be a better idea to improve that since it's open source and it needs a bit of work.

I would switch over to it today if the swipe typing was better but its currently "in beta" and that's a bit of an understatement tbh. in my experience the predictions are wrong 80% of the time

I've been using 'keyboard with ctrl key' and couldn't code on my phone without it.

that really makes my blood boil every time it happens
