Could you specify wether these support physical keyboards? (showing only a toolbar when one is detected). I'm using the default proprietary Kika-keyboard on my device and it's not great. Microsoft Swiftkey works but is not perfect and not FLOSS.

I like Fossify's, but I won't recommend it - it has no predictive text and no symbols on its main keyboard, the first which is a huge deal for almost everyone. Not sure if they're working on those or if it will never get those features, because if it had those two it would be the perfect keyboard because it's so great in every other sense.
