I'm not sure, it might be possible. I am not the developer, just someone who wanted to guess why there is no option to disable those. You could open an issue in GitHub and ask for that option, the developers are quite active and responsive.

Heliboard does have a single hand layout, you can access it from the top toolbar (you might need to add this button in "Settings/Preferences/Additional keys/Select toolbar keys") or by long pressing the comma. Then tap the hand icon.
Heliboard is now also on the official F-Droid repository, people can choose any source!
Wish you could see a preview when customizing the keyboard. Hard to do it blind
That's a pretty good idea. You could check if there's any issue about it in GitHub or open one, the app is under active development and I think this is something the developers would consider implementing.
I don't think you can remove those buttons, because both of them give you access to more options:
- the numbers button changes they keyboard layout to give access not only to numbers but also to many symbols
- the comma button shows a pop up when long pressing for options like ”voice input, undo, redo, one handed mode, access settings...". These can be customised on the keyboard's settings.
There is already a paste button, although not directly shown. I can access it in 3 different ways (but I have made some changes to the default settings, so it might not be exactly the same for you):
- on the toolbar on top of the keyboard (you need to extend it by tapping the > button on the top left). You can customise the buttons that show up here in "Settings/Preferences/Additional keys/Select toolbar keys"
- by long pressing the comma key (my favourite way), a pop up shows with several keys, among them the paste key.
- by long pressing the enter key
I think so too. You need a non-free library for glide typing, but with it it works like charm.
It's a pity it doesn't work for you right now, but I'd recommend to keep an eye on it since it's under active development and you might see Japanese input added soon. You could also check open issues on GitHub or open a new one and give feedback about this need.
It should be available in the main F-Droid repo. It has been only on IzzyOnDroid for a while, but I can already see version 1.2 on the official F-Droid repo too.
I followed the recommendation of the developer and installed the file from GApps packages ("swypelibs"). They provide a link in Heliboard's README, scroll down to the FAQ section and look for "How to enable glide typing"
Not necessarily: you can choose to have several languages separated as different input methods (you can switch between them very quickly by sliding vertically from the space bar) OR you can go to "Settings / Languages" and select one of your active languages and inside its submenu add languages for multilingual typing. This way when you select that original language as input method it will use and recognise all the languages you added at once. I must say this can be tricky with glide typing, but still works pretty well.
There's tons to choose from, some that are also found in the Play Store (often with Google proprietary libraries or tracking removed). I would recommend:
