What is a good FOSS Android app to scan documents and immediately convert them to pdfs? On Microsoft Lens, you can take multiple scans and also merge different ones together to create a combined PDF. Thanks.

There's a fork of OpenBoard with gesture typing. Finally made me switch.

Can you get to the numpad layout with one button or gesture? That's one of the boxes that need checking for me. I am extremely fast with a numpad layout, and I type a lot of numbers so I also want a fast way to get to it. I don't even think OpenBoard had a numpad at all if I remember correctly.

These are some of the things I want in a keyboard, in no particular order:

Good predictive slide typing
Word suggestion bar for misspelled words
Slide on spacebar to move cursor
Slide on backspace to select and slide cursor
Hold on backspace to delete entire previous word
Have a clipboard manager that is a single action to get to
Have a numpad that is a single action to get to
Show hinted symbols
Have a microphone button

Florisboard is the closest to what I want, it has all the features, the word suggestion bar just isn't very good right now. I've been using Swiftkey for over a decade, before Microsoft bought it, so it's hard to make the change from it. But once Florisboard works out the word suggestion bar, I'll be switching.
