Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy/issues/8457

Bug Description

On touch screen device, app does not support Handwriting (Windows Ink with Pen or Stylus) as web version does. On web version, I could easily put text in input fields with a pen, but same behavior does not follow on an app. Rather it treats a pen like a cursor only

How to Reproduce

Use AppFlowy app with any touch screen devices (laptop or mobile device). Try to write, with a stylus or a supported pen, on any input field in the app.

Expected Behavior

When input field is focused, it should allow regular handwriting (from stylus or pen) to be transformed as text for that field.

Operating System

Windows 11, Android

AppFlowy Version(s)

0.11.0
