An unofficial LSPosed and Vector module for rooted phones that adds keyfx effects and typing extras to the official FUTO Keyboard. It changes the keyboard at runtime, so you keep using FUTO’s own app, and it contains no FUTO code: it hooks the app you already have installed.

Effects while you type. Key pops, floating letters, backspace fire, black holes, swipe trails, letter hop and more, each with its own settings, designed in the browser lab and imported into the module.

Typing extras. A vertical spacebar cursor: once a drag goes mostly vertical, the module moves the cursor by line, and by character sideways. Hold backspace for whole words: after a few single letters a held backspace deletes a word at a time, at a pace you set, through FUTO’s own backspace so its word tracking stays correct. And an option to hide the keyboard navigation bar on Android 15 and newer.

Every feature has its own switch and changes apply right away, even while the keyboard is open. No root? FXboard has the same extras built in. FX for FUTO Keyboard is not made, endorsed or supported by FUTO.
