I’m biased because I chat a lot with the developers, but I’d highly recommend Thunder - very sleek, very customizable, VERY nice compact mode, and a very welcoming group of people. If you try it and feel like something big is missing, they’re quite responsive on github! Been quite impressed with the leaps they’ve made with features on every release.
Thunder does look quite nice, but sadly my long defunct keyboard app doesn’t work with it, and they weren’t able to get the apk to test a fix for it. (But they did try.) You’d think, of all things, a keyboard and input field wouldn’t have compatibility issues, but I guess that’s Android for ya.

Oh, that’s a bummer :( what happens when you try to use it?
This is me typing “hello”, so it seems like it duplicates all the characters typed so far every time I add a character.
Aw man, that’s too bad :/ what keyboard is it?
It’s called Kii. You can still get a version from a 3rd party site since it hasn’t been on the play store for years.
I’m not sure how much I trust those apk sites, (so downloader beware!) but you can at least see the screenshots: https://www.apk4fun.com/apps/com.zl.inputmethod.latin/
I don’t think it’s anything earth shattering, but it’s kinda nice, and fairly minimal, and it’s what I’m used to, so I’m happy with it.
Have you tried other options like AnySoftKeyboard or HeliBoard (fork of OpenBoard)
I’m pretty sure you’ll like AnySoftKeyboard, it’s pretty minimal and similar to your current keyboard. And it works with Thunder.
You can still submit a bug report for Thunder not working with Kii, I’m pretty sure the Thunder devs would be willing to fix this.
