Tealscript. It's not free. But it will do what you want
and is better tha Graffiti IMHO.

p.s. At first I too longed for a Graffiti type
input. But after using the thumb board
with TextPlus I now *only* use the
thumb board (even with my rather large
hands/thumbs).

I have not found anything where Graffiti would work better than the
keyboard. Only where it would work differently. If you really want
handwriting input, Jot, TealScript, etc is the way to go.

No. But if you hit Opt/Menu, it'll dim the backlight by half until the

Don't know that one.

I have large hands, but I can't imagine using graffiti when I have a
keyboard available.

If all I had to type was letters I'd agree, but for a mixture of letters,
numbers and punctuation, graffiti would seem to be easier than trying to
use the tiny keyboard and shift keys.

Maybe I'll get used to it

For letters, numbers, and punctuation available on the keyboard, I can
still type far faster on the keyboard then on graffiti (and I considered
myself fairly fast using graffiti, although once I went to a T|X I
started having issues with graffiti -- In all cases, I used graffiti 1)

Take a look at Keycaps650. I use it on my 650 and it works great -
double tap a key to get the number or punctuation mark, hold it down
to get the upper case letter. I don't know it if works on a 680.
