But one thing that is sorely missing in Squeekboard is long presses to get alternate characters. KDE Plasma Mobile's onscreen keyboard has this already, just like on Android. I hope that adding this functionality is planned by the Purism people.
Indeed, it doesn't look too complicated to make your own. For now de is fine for me, as it's QWERTZ and has all the special characters I need. It will of course be an issue when I connect a real keyboard, but for now I ssh rather than directly type into the phone. Long press alternate keys would be great; it looks like there's a bug open for that, but it has been open for a while:
