Hey #lazyweb, I need a new free #android keyboard app since #Fossify thinks I want the "current language" on my spacebar, but it is in fact a mental text injection attack every 3 or 4 words and I can't live with it.

Must be:
offline, fast
emoji capable
able to turn off completion and spellcheck

Bonus if it's on #fdroid or aurora

Screenshot, typical simple keyboard for android but with the legend "English (QWERTY)" blazed across the spacebar. Folks who switch langs often would find the longpress spacebar switch handy, and it's cool, but like you already know what language layout you're in by *looking at the fucking keyboard*. Mixed case parentheticals in the peripheral thumb zone. I ask you, what kind of fucking perverts? Is this a slop?

@ike_seblon I've been enjoying the "Unexpected Keyboard". I'm pretty sure it fits your requirements. But it has a unique way of typing other characters with swiping, which requires practice to build up the muscle memory for. So probably not everyone's cup of tea.
