Title: Stock keyboard handwriting shortcut?
Post by: fxsarge on August 31, 2012, 07:46:21 PM: So I was sitting on the couch set my N7 down on my chest it vibrated I picked it back up and the keyboard changed to a handwriting keyboard like touchwiz on Samsung. Any ideas what to push again to get there?

If not, describe a handwriting keyboard. It's an oxymoron.

There's a pencil in the lower right corner of the screen, and when you touch it, you can write in the large black space that pops up.

That might have been it cause wouldn't you know I was using translate?
