I want to see pen-on-tablet experience that allows working without a keyboard. Then, plug tablet to monitor and “type/write” on the tablet.

  Why? Writing is much slower than typing and less accurate to boot. There are also a lot of problems to solve for a variant input which have long been settled with keyboard. For example code completion, jumping to the definition, showing errors where they keyboard focus is, etc. Unless someone were to come out with some kind of massive productivity gain by switching input types, people aren't going to switch and these supplemental technologies will never get built.

    Ever sketched a quick diagram in a notebook to try and work out a problem? Handwriting isn’t dead.

    Writing + voice input + Soli gestures + Selfie type would go a long way. I could live without a keyboard.

    I often typo and get corrections from the text editor I used, when I write not-code text. When I write code, I don’t need to type fast. However, I like to layout things quickly: proper indentation, docstrings, spacing, order/position of functions. I think those can be solved.
