Classification:Enhancement Reproducible:Sometimes
 
Summary:
I have found the new Scribble feature in Messages unexpectedly useful for quick responding. I'd like this functionality in all text input triggered by `WKInterfaceController .presentTextInputControllerWithSuggestions(_:allowedInputMode:completion:)`.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a (good) watch app for Twitter, such as Tweetbot or Twitterrific.
2. Force-touch and select "New Tweet."


Expected Results:
I can pick between Scribble and Dictation like I can when replying to a message in Messages.

Actual Results:
I'm forced to try and get Siri to understand about my joke about NSGestureRecognizer. (It's really good, though, I think you'd like it.)

Version:
watchOS 3.0 (14S5247t)

Notes:
Other use cases:
- Add new Reminder interface, without having to mangle, "Hey Siri, add Radar colon watch message scribble to my Work list."
- Could be used to drive a search UI for e.g., Music; such a palmOS-graffiti-like is used to drive search in my car.

Configuration:
Occurs in any non-Messages app
