Do you have to tap multiple times for each letter?
Similar layout, but flick your finger in an orthogonal direction instead of tapping multiple times: https://f-droid.org/packages/es.ideotec.t16fling/ . I have been using it as my main keyboard the past year and it’s OK. No haptic buzzes though and it’s incompatible with one app (Aurora store, causes random crashes, have to temporary swap keyboards).
Nope, T9 is where you tap once on each number and it predicts what word you meant. There are only a few common overlapping words so it’s very quick. I actually did try several flick-based keyboards but the phone is so small, flick accuracy is almost worse than tap accuracy when only using 9 main letter buttons for me. It would often confuse vertical/horizontal flicks for diagonal flicks and it was a messy experience.
The keyboard I’m using is called “tappy keyboard”. I tried several open source ones, but none of them were able to fit the bill for this small screen quite as much as Tappy. It has many other layouts as well, but is not flick-based. (It does have swipe for some layouts)
