11. An electronic device, comprising: an input and display device; a processor; and a memory device that stores instructions executable by the processor to: present, on the input and display device, two or more adjacent input fields for an underlying application; detect, using the input and display device, one or more handwriting input strokes provided to an input field overlay application, wherein the input field overlay application encompasses the two or more adjacent input fields and wherein at least a portion of the one or more handwriting input strokes are detected outside a boundary of the two or more adjacent input fields; determine an input field targeting characteristic based on the one or more handwriting input strokes, wherein the input field targeting characteristic identifies one of the two or more adjacent input fields for insertion of the one or more handwriting input strokes; select the identified one of the two or more adjacent input fields as a target input field based on the input field targeting characteristic; and insert a converted form of the one or more handwriting input strokes into the target input field.
