As a 14-year Fleksy keyboard user in search of a better keyboard, I want to share my changes to the FUTO keyboard, bringing some of Fleksy's beloved features along with my own tweaks thrown in for good measure. This can be broken down into smaller PRs if needed. I'd appreciate any feedback , and let me know if you are interested in merging any of these features.
Took some inspiration from #1898
Features:
1. Additional gestures support
Every gesture can be individually turned on or off. Note that Swipe Typing needs to be turned off for gestures to work.
2. Non staggered keyboard layouts
Inspired by Fleksy's keyboard layouts I bring you QUERTY and QUERTZ layouts with a middle row that takes full width, taking advantage of the whole usable space.
Default staggered QUERTZ layout:
New non staggered QUERTZ layout with full width middle row:
New layouts can be selected under Keyboard Layouts for your active languages:

3. Suggestion bar compact mode
As someone who uses the dedicated numbers row, having another full sized suggestion bar row takes a lot of precious screen real-estate, so I've added an optional compact mode which reduces the height of suggestion bar and removes the expand and microphone input buttons.
While the predictions will now be harder to select by pressing due the smaller size, this makes an awesome opportunity to use the new swipe down gestures for selecting suggestions.
The size of the suggestion bar might be trimmed down even further depending on the feedback.
Compact mode for suggestion bar can be turned on or off with a new toggle button:
