The Chrome OS Virtual Keyboard provides two modes: a full width keyboard, or a floating keyboard. Under both modes, user can switch to handwriting and write within a given writing area. This setting has two issues:
1. For full width keyboard, the area covers almost half of the screen, which blocks the web contents when user is writing.
2. On small screen devices, the area could be too small for writing.
This bug tracks the implementation of a full screen handwriting feature, which makes the writing area full screen and transparent (i.e., users can still see the web pages during writing). This feature is already available on Android for some languages, such as Chinese.
