android 7 AOSP keyboard gesture typing

On Lineageos 14.1 (microg edition) the gesture typing (swiping) input does not work anymore.

Reason: - AOSP keyboard does not support it by default - When using opengapps, the google swype libraries are installed by default - so this is why I had this feature on CyanogenMod 13

• ??? How to get it back?
