Stock keyboard handwriting shortcut?

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?

I cant find that option with the stock keyboards? Strange

Is this what you're talking about?  If not, describe a handwriting keyboard.  It's an oxymoron.

You can do that with any device. The way the post reads it was stock. Even source ive read has no handwriting functions. Find that odd for a tablet. Guess google was in a rush to push it out. So watch for a update :-)

Nope that wasn't it. Its literally where its like keyboard was up but none of the buttons were there except the space bar and you could write with your finger or stylus where the buttons usually are.

I found a handwriting recognition function in Google Translate (not sure if I downloaded it, or it came with the N7).  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.

No, it's Google Translate at the Google Play store.
