Hi ATDM This is the default behavior of Android when activating a custom keyboard. They can - by design - read your keystrokes. I cannot recommend you a good keyboard, however a good indication (as for all Android apps) is to check the permissions an app requires. Maybe a keyboard shouldn't request "INTERNET" permission etc. Use you brain ;-)
