I came across everyday topic on Techlore Discussions about free and open source keyboards for Android and discovered this little gem. It is FlorisBoard, a virtual keyboard for Android which respects privacy of the user. I can sigh with relief and finish my search for that singular keyboard for typing stuff on the go.

It has everything I need and more.

Multilanguage support: detailed layout options, popular presets
Swift and glide typing experience
Customizable gestures: switch language by fast swiping the keyboard itself left and right, change case by swiping up, the infamous cursor swipe on space bar
Emojis
Clipboard
Smartbar: quick actions and clipboard cursor tools
One-handed mode
Other look-and-feel settings

I'm sure there's some way to monitor that using ADB or another tool, but at that point you're wasting so so much time that you should just get an open source trusted app.
