Support Windows 10 wordflow keyboard


Muzzamo

Idea

Evernote does not currently support the new "shape writing" on the narrow keyboard in windows 10. 

It is possible to type one letter at a time but it is not possible to "draw" words, swiftkey/swype style. This works in edge, onenote, etc but does not work in evernote. 

This is the best way to type when using a windows 10 device as a tablet and supporting this would go some way towards creating a usable tablet experience for evernote.

Thanks for the info - I'm sure it will come,  but probably not very soon - lots of priorities and (I guess) not that many using 'shape writing' keyboards yet.  I do have Swype on my android tablet and can use that input to create notes,  but the Win 10 desktop is old-fashioned key hitting.

I have stumbled on this issue too.

Swype, a pioneer in the swipe-to-type keyboard space, was born in 2009, 9 years ago.  And the idea has become so prevalent that it has been integrated into the builtin keyboards making the addon keyboard irrelevant.  I can't give you statistics on how many people swipe-to-type rather click buttons, but likewise, I question the claim that not many are using it.

If that was me,  it wasn't a claim,  it was a guess - and the point was (if I read the OP correctly) using a Windows on-screen keyboard for "Swype-writing".  The Fall update was slightly more recent than 2009,  and AFAIK prior keyboards just didn't support it.  My Windows 10  doesn't, anyway.
