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!

This has answers to some of your questions. Where to get the dictionaries are on this page too.
Press and hold the letter gets the number for me, but there may be something in settings to change that behavior.
There is also an option in Settings to “Always show the number row”
Is it just me, or did the underlining switch from red to blue?
