I was wondering if it would be possible to have the Refine Handwriting option work in Bear?  
Also, it would be amazing to be able to write anywhere as to be able to switch between typing and writing like in Apple Notes? (Currently, you have to add the drawing square.)  
Would it also be feasible to do it within the same “space” which would make it possible to scratch or circle certain words, or add drawings or sketches next to paragraphs? Things you can do on regular paper!

I have no idea if any of this is possible to implement, I’m just asking! 🙂

I would love to use **Refine Handwriting** in the future.
