Is there an Android keyboard where you control the sursor with the spacebar like on iOS?
FUTO keyboard and Heliboard
In my opinion, the best one is the heliboard.

HeliBoard let’s you move the cursor by swiping on the space bar. Is that what iOS does?
Thanks, that’s exactly what I’m looking for
Just a heads up, glide typing requires loading a closed source library in Heliboard. Instructions are in the readme and it’s pretty straightforward, but it’s something to be aware of.
I’m not sure what glide typing is but I installed the keyboard and I can move the cursor with the spacebar.
Also known as gesture typing or swype, typing by dragging your finger for each word rather than tapping each letter.
Fossify Keyboard can do it
This is a very basic feature, you have a lot of options to choose from like the other comments have suggested. I use Heliboard personally with glide typing.
Why is there so much removed in these comments?
People promoting proprietary software, which directly goes against the rules and purpose of this community
Oh shit is Lemmy (at this instance) going the way of reddit? I don’t like mods much at all. Shouldn’t I decide what to read or not?
Unless is was completely off topic or something horrible I guess.
unexpected keyboard also does this, as well as a dedicated arrow keys button. it’s also open source and on both fdroid and play store.
- Unexpected Keyboard - also has a vertical cursor slide key.
- Thumb-Key - optional setting. Also works intuitively for text deletion on backspace. Text selection too but that’s buggy.
Where is the vertical dedicated key?
FlorisBoard is a good option, very customizable too https://github.com/florisboard/florisboard
https://keyboard.futo.org/ maybe this? Cursor moves on Spacebar, Swipe works and it has an optional feature to have speech to text.
Futo keyboard does
This is a stock Samsung Keyboard feature
They want an Open Source app…
Works just fine in Gboard too.
