Video and source code:

It's a port of CellWriter (http://risujin.org/cellwriter/).

Apart from making most applications crash after a while, the plugin works very well.

I'll package it once the bugs are fixed.

It's on garage now

I hope this becomes real. The author should integrate it with the virtual keyboard. A button in the virtual keyboard should be added to switch to handwriting recognition.

Thanks!!
Looks promising

If I'm an adventurous, where should the .so file be placed?

Cool thing!
Is there any public code repo for it (e.g. svn/hg/git)?

That would be nice. Sadly, the default virtual keyboard is closed source and the example keyboard sucks. It could still be possible, but I don't yet know how.

It will make your applications crash and might brick your n900, but you can place it in /usr/lib/hildon-input-method/, run hildon-im-recache as root and then set the gconf key /apps/osso/input-method/default-settings/finger to "him_cellwriter".

Soon. I just submitted a request to the garage for a git repo.

Sorry if it is a daft question, but after doing those things, how is it actually activated? Is there a simple way to do bring it up like there is with the onscreen keyboard, or is it something else?

It is activate exactly the same way as the default virtual keyboard that it replaces. The default plugin is called hildon_western_fkb.

If you have setup another input plugin, placing "hildon_western_fkb" back in the gconf key /apps/osso/inputmethod/default-plugins/finger will restore the default keyboard.
