I've noticed I'm often writing the first part of the character, and sometimes working the rest out given the positioning of the first elements and the amount of space left. An advantage I don't have writing on paper!

I was wondering if an option for 'wait until all strokes and written' before snapping the character in place might be possible?

Hmmm, true, that would make it way harder to write, and memory recognize would likely go down from 96% to 80-something in my case, LOL.

I agree, this would be quite helpful.

If it would be an option I can see the use of this. But frankly I don't mind the 'not so subtle' hints of strokes moving to the right place in the grid as I write. For me, I see it all as part of the learning process. When I am not happy, I just mark the characters as wrong or so-so, even when it stayed green. After x repetitions, it will be ok anyway. Having the strokes moving around, allowing you to guess-write in the beginning, makes for a smooth transition from 'not knowing' to 'knowing'. Great help for me.

That's the idea behind the plans for eventual component-based recognition. You don't have to finish writing the whole character, but if you write a component (like a radical or significant part), then it snaps--until then it wouldn't give you any hints, and if you wrote an entirely wrong component, it'd reject it once it figured out you had the wrong idea.

That's a long ways off, but I think it has potential!

Sounds good :)!

I like this idea

I support this idea as well :)
