I used Hacker's keyboard for years before moving over to unexpected keyboard for any terminal work done via phone. Unexpected keyboard gives easier access to symbols and has slightly larger keys (less keys on the main layer) than Hacker's keyboard.

I still use Gboard for my main keyboard, but looking for replacement suggestions that have a good swipe to text

FUTO Keyboard comes to mind: https://keyboard.futo.org/

Swipe worked pretty well but I had some problems (perhaps switching languages or something? can't remember) so I switched back to plain AOSP keyboard for now.

Yes, jesus, swipe to text! It's 21st century! Why can't they make it recognize various basic words in the three languages I use?
Google seems to have forgotten how to do it well, to be fair. It's one of the lost arts of the ancient civilization of ~2019
