#AnySoftKeyboard, installed from #FDroid, asks for access to Contacts. Was it compromised? (EDIT: Unlikely)
I don't remember it asking me for Contacts before (but @lnxw37a2 does). [EDIT: I was] worried it may have been subject to a supply chain attack, and to be on the safe side, I uninstalled it.
It seems to be a mostly unmaintained app that I never use, but hadn't uninstalled. This is the first new version since 2025/07/25, and before that, 2022/01/14 (the first version shipped by @fdroid).

For some reason #AnySoftKeyboard stopped working in #termux. Does anyone know how to fix this or has a recommendation for another #android keyboard that has arrow keys?

Fair point.
I would say creating a privacy respecting keyboard app would be better then?
On Android, use #FlorisBoard, #HeliBoard, #AnysoftKeyboard or #FutoKeyboard
Thats like using a #VPN only in the browser, or adding #FreeSoftware apps on a system full of #spyware... doesnt make much sense and you leak more data than you think.

My hesitation to try new keyboards got solved quickly: #AnySoftKeyboard, update or not, seems to have forgotten how to do other languages from English.
On The Unexpected keyboard now.

I imagine that some of you might, like me, use a fairly popular FOSS keyboard app for android called Anysoft. A week or so ago, I installed an update for it and discovered it somehow broke compatibility with another app I use daily (termux). No big deal — I checked their bug tracker and found another user had already reported the issue, along with a simple workaround for it.
However, in the course of troubleshooting, that user incidentally triggered an apparently seldom-used component of the app’s autocomplete UI, and found that evidently an “AI”-based translation bot had “helpfully” submitted an automated pull request back in March that replaced part of said UI component with an incoherent text string containing a xenophobic slur. The maintainer who reviewed the PR overlooked this, and it ended up in the latest stable release.
The offensive text has reportedly been removed from the current beta, but the latest version available through F-Droid is still affected at this point.

In gutem Glauben das Update von #Anysoftkeyboard gemacht und wie üblich bei sehr gut funktionierender Software! Unnötige #Verschlimbesserungen die ohne Not und ohne Mehrwert ein Umgewöhnen erzwingen!
Warum ist es nicht möglich Design- und Usabilityänderungen optional anzubieten.

Seems that @anysoftkeyboard language packs are now available on F-Droid and #AnySoftKeyboard itself is no longer marked as incompatible with some Android versions.
