Fix: HeliBoard keyboard doesn't show suggestions in Google Keep

If you use HeliBoard, a customizable and privacy-conscious open-source Android keyboard, you may have noticed it doesn't show next word suggestions in Google Keep, while default keyboards like Samsung or GBoard do:

The cause

This is because by default, HeliBoard respects the "No suggestions" flag apps can set on their input fields. Usually, this flag is used where you enter a parcel identifier, one-time password, or anything else not being a meaningful word or a sentence. Weirdly, Google Keep has this flag set on both note title and content fields.

The fix

To make HeliBoard show suggestions in Google Keep and in other input fields with the "No suggestion" flag, go to HeliBoard settings, open the Text correction preferences and enable the "Always show suggestions" preference:

I recommend HeliBoard. It's 100% transparent, open-source and offline – in my opinion, this is crucial for an app which has access to everything you type on your phone. I encourage you to give this keyboard a try, and if you like it, support the developer.
