Having just experienced this feature for the first time on my new Tab S8, I feel this is Huge. Now, if we can get this on a foss keyboard, it will be awesome!
My Palm PDAs had this 20 years ago.

Really liked it back then
That looks like a fun gimmick but it also looks pretty damn slow. It looks like it'd still be faster to just type it with the keyboard, even with the stylus. I guess it might be useful for older people.
- For me, swipe typing is essentially fast handwriting on a phone. Faster than I can write with my stylus anyway.
