Specifically for email autocomplete, its especially useful for your own email addresses

Until this happens, I suggest asking an AI to make you a script that converts a list of email addresses into the user dictionary format of android.

To do this, I tried downloading the user dictionary manager (UDM), but couldn't get it to work. So maybe you can find an example userdict file that we can inspect the format of? Once we've got that we can ask an AI to make a script to bring your email addresses in

I think stuff like this is vital.

I definitely like the idea of my keyboard not connecting to the cloud for things. But then if my keyboard is local to my device, I want it to be able to access every single bit of information on my device in order to make swiping and auto-complete easier.

If my keyboard is local, then my device is the cloud. Use everything on it.

It is a great feature for convenience. Let's take an example of my email address i.e., kamalkothari4567@gmail.com, gboard having this feature can recall the email in just 4-5 characters 'kamal', it just needs an additional tap and my email of 26 characters containing letters, numbers and symbols can just be typed with 4-5 characters and a tap.

Few time I forget others email that I have typed with gboard but gboard remembers it and just by typing the first few characters that I remember I have the full email address without having to ask them about it each time.

The other day I found this interesting virtual keyboard: https://altkeys.ai/features.html

(I am not recommending it in any way; it's sketchy and not optimized for the western market, but...)

It has a full-on contacts menu to input any information from your contacts. I find this sort of feature super underrated, and I hope FUTO can consider implementing something similar. Of course, like others mentioned, autofill should also be capable of accessing contact data to help when you type things in manually.
