Entering text by tracing

Instead of tapping the keys on the onscreen keyboard, you can "trace" to type words.
Trace keyboard in Settings > Language & keyboard > Touch Input > Trace
keyboard must be selected for you to use the Trace keyboard.
To trace, slide your finger on the onscreen keyboard to enter words. For example, if
you want to type "the", put your finger on the "t" key, and then trace the word (by
sliding your finger) "the" on the onscreen keyboard.

want to select.
