Unexpected Keyboard – customiseable Android Keyboard with all keys available

As a side advantage: I trust it to not log keys more than Gboard in incognito mode
Unexpected keyboard is one of my favorites. But suggesting word completions would be nice. I see no reason why this could not be done with free software and locally.
Interestingly while searching for that issue I learned that FUTO claims to have both a machine learning based autocomplete[2] and a swipe input so I'll definitely have to try that out. I wonder if it wouldn't be easier to teach FUTO about the corner keys than to try and integrate predictions and swiping into Unexpected

The ability to use actual shortcuts like Ctrl+C and CTRL+V is really nice, shift selection and swipes to move the cursor by one character are truly amazing.
I don't really care for autocorrect, but sometimes it would have been nice to make the typing more reliable. What I wish for would be more customizing options, e.g. moving the cursor by horizontally wiping is amazing, but way too fast/inaccurate on my device.
One feature I miss from Swift Key for android 2 is that it'd record and calculate heatmaps of where you hit keys, and use them instead of the visible boxes(or maybe just to tweak probabilities of autocorrect?), which worked invisibly to massively reduce mistakes.
I need 5 languages, 3 daily and 2 more weekly or less. Switching between them should be easy.
