Description

The S pen button on my Samsung tab s7+/Note 20 ultra and even Note 8 for erasing works in whiteboard mode. I would like to suggest enpabling an option so that when you have a stylus, you can let it produce written input just when you're using your stylus, so that you can use your finger for gestures scrolling etc.

Also, S-pen gestures serious be nice. Swiping up down left right etc. Similar to the finger gestures. Also just clicking or double clicking the s pen far away from the screen.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate Android's stylus input handling API (MotionEvent) and how to differentiate between finger and stylus inputs. Look into existing gesture detection code for possible implementation patterns.
