I’m having a few problems with the Onyx keyboard and handwriting input.

The handwriting recognition works very well. I would like to be able to delete a recognized letter or an entire word with a gesture using the pen. That doesn’t seem to work. I always have to tap the backspace symbol next to the input field with the pen to delete individual letters.

The second problem: If I don’t write a complete sentence, there is no space after the last word. When I continue writing, the next word is added directly to the last word – without a space. I can set the settings so that a space is always inserted after a word, but then a space is ALWAYS inserted. I would prefer to be able to enter a space above the input field with the pen using a gesture. Is that possible?

Does the Onyx keyboard recognize gestures?
