In this report, we analyze the Windows, Android, and iOS versions of Tencent’s Sogou Input Method, the most popular Chinese-language input method in China. Our analysis found serious vulnerabilities in the app’s custom encryption system and how it encrypts sensitive data. These vulnerabilities could allow a network eavesdropper to decrypt sensitive communications sent by the app, including revealing all keystrokes being typed by the user. Following our disclosure of these vulnerabilities, Sogou released updated versions of the app that identified all of the issues we disclosed.
Vulnerabilities in Sogou Keyboard encryption expose keypresses to network eavesdropping.
What’s the fork? I’ve been using Florisboard beta (ehich is also opensource) and pretty happy with it. The only things I miss is swipe for dictionary words

Important to note that you need to install a library from inside the app’s settings to enable swipe typing. Ctrl+F “enable gesture typing” on the Github page to see where to get it.
No, it’s the fork I’ve linked. You got it from here, yes? Also, the option only appears after you successfully load a library by going to Advanced > Load gesture typing library. Since you said you’d already loaded it I didn’t mention that. You might’ve loaded the incorrect file or something.

I loaded the library but couldn’t see a toggle to turn it on.
Uhhh it’s pretty blatant.
OpenBoard Settings > Gesture Typing > Enable Gesture Typing
