expanding from Chinese language input setup which discuss phonetic input, is there any way to draw chinese (or japanese or korean) characters on the laptop touchpad, like one can on Mac OS?
There are several input methods framework ( Fcitx5m, IBus, Uim, Emacs heh, Scim, Hime, Gcin, more?) and on top of those they work with tons of input editors (i’m not even 100% sure i got the IMF IME terminology correctly. it’s way too much for an end user 
)
