Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I just wanted to know if handwriting would be feasible to implement and checked if this was ever requested before posting this. This may not be very popular or important to many people since I think handwriting with your fingers doesn't seem right to do and I don't know how many have/use a capacitive or, if they can, an active stylus with their device to want this feature.
Describe the solution you'd likePlease provide a description of what you would like to have. The clearer it is described, the better it can be implemented the way you want it.
GBoard's implementation is nice from what I remember, but I don't have it installed anymore and don't wish to reinstall it
Samsung Keyboard lets you edit your written text with some proofreading marks but it's rather finicky to use. My version of the app, however, is 3.3.23.33 vs. the current latest version 5.8.20.12 which I cannot update to due to using a Galaxy Note8, so Samsung Keyboard may have made editing better/easier by now
Use caseProvide a clear and concise description of your use case and what you thus think is missing, and why.
To write Japanese characters to put into a translator from something you can't just highlight and copy the text from (like an image), and/or when an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) or screen translator is unable to read or recognize characters correctly due to various factors such as noisy background, being handwritten, font, etc.
Might be hard to use if stroke order is important and if suggestions don't show similar characters to what is being attempted to be written
I'm not very good at typing on mobile and using glide typing is sometimes frustrating when it chooses other words and there's no suggestion for the one you meant to type so I have to erase and retry
Sorry, I can't remember any examples of this, but I remember the feeling
Handwriting means I can write words without needing to put it in my personal or the keyboard's dictionary at least in the case of glide typing
Just for fun
Describe alternatives you've considered (if any)
Temporarily switching to Google Board or Samsung Keyboard to use their handwriting function
Switching from Heliboard to Samsung Keyboard is easy by holding down the spacebar to get the "Change input method" window, but it is inconvenient to switch back to Heliboard from it since I can't do the same on Samsung Keyboard and instead have to pull down the status bar and tap on "Select keyboard"
Use a notebook/notes app with handwriting
Very few if at all seem to have it
Samsung Notes can have handwriting and even has an option to convert it into text
Handwriting would be limited to this app and be unusable outside it though
