Noob here (and I posted some of this already as a reply o an older post: https://lemmy.world/comment/8190997 )
I actually just installed HeliBoard through Obtainium, and have a bunch of questions.
First of all, I’m confused – I installed HeliBoard_1.2-release.apk . I didn’t really know how HeliBoard_1.2-debug.apk and HeliBoard_1.2-nouserlib.apk were different.
Also, I just installed that and nothing else. It’s giving me suggestions, but no corrections. Is that because I didn’t install any dictionaries? If so, how do I install one – do I just click on the download icon here https://codeberg.org/Helium314/aosp-dictionaries/src/branch/main/dictionaries/main_en_us.dict ? And what do I do then? Sorry, noob here.
On the other languages and autocorrect issues discussed here: https://lemmy.world/post/12769494 – it sounds like it used to have the equivalent of GBoard’s globe icon you could click on to switch languages but not anymore? You have to go to settings and uncheck English and check whatever other language you want to use?
And, it seems like I can do the equivalent of Shift + key on a standalone keyboard (for example, to get 1 instead of Q), but I don’t know how to, or what that’s even called.
Thank you!
I never installed any dictionaries and it worked fine for me. IIRC.

They don’t really matter to most people.

Usually you glide from the ?123 icon towards the top, or long-press the number row.
Gliding from Shift to something else will allow you to capitalize.
I didn’t know about the gliding for special symbols and numbers. Thanks for that.
Is it just me, or did the underlining switch from red to blue?
