A stylus (pl.: styli or styluses[1]) is a writing utensil or a small tool for some other form of marking or shaping, for example, in pottery. It can also be a computer accessory that is used to assist in navigating or providing more precision when using touchscreens. It usually refers to a narrow elongated staff, similar to a modern ballpoint pen. Many styluses are heavily curved to be held more easily. Another widely used writing tool is the stylus used by blind users in conjunction with the slate for punching out the dots in Braille.[2]
The Latin word had several meanings, including "a long, sharply pointed piece of metal; the stem of a plant; a pointed instrument for incising letters; the stylus (as used in literary composition), 'pen'".[4] The last meaning is the origin of style in the literary sense. The Latin word is probably derived from the Indo-European root *stei- 'to prick', also found in the words stimulus 'a goad, stimulus' and instigare 'to incite, instigate'.[5]
Styli were first used by the ancient Mesopotamians in order to write in cuneiform. They were mostly made of reeds and had a slightly curved trapezoidal section.[6][7][8] Egyptians (Middle Kingdom) and the Minoans of Crete (Linear A and Cretan Hieroglyphic) made styli in various materials: reeds that grew on the sides of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers and in marshes and down to Egypt where the Egyptians used styli from sliced reeds with sharp points; bone and metal styli were also used. Cuneiform was entirely based on the "wedge-shaped" mark that the end of a cut reed made when pushed into a clay tablet; from Latin cuneus 'wedge'. The linear writings of Crete in the first half of the second millennium BC which were made on clay tablets that were left to dry in the sun until they became "leather" hard before being incised by the stylus. The linear nature of the writing was also dictated by the use of the stylus.
In Western Europe styli were widely used until the late Middle Ages. For learning purposes the stylus was gradually replaced by a writing slate. From the mid-14th century improved water-powered paper mills produced large and cheap quantities of paper and the wax tablet and stylus disappeared completely from daily life.
Styluses are still used in various arts and crafts. Example situations: rubbing off dry transfer letters, tracing designs onto a new surface with carbon paper, and hand embossing. Styluses are also used to engrave into materials like metal or clay.
Modern day devices, such as phones, can often be used with a stylus to accurately navigate through menus, send messages etc. Today, the term stylus often refers to an input tool usually used with touchscreen-enabled devices, such as Tablet PCs, to accurately navigate interface elements, send messages, etc. This also prevents smearing the screen with oils from one's fingers. Styluses may also be used for handwriting, or for drawing using graphics tablets.
A passive or capacitive stylus is a stylus that acts just like a finger when touching a device screen. There is no electronic communication between a passive stylus and a device, and the device treats the stylus the same as a finger. Passive styluses are considered less accurate than active styluses.
An active stylus includes electronic components that communicate with a device's touchscreen controller, or digitizer. Active pens are typically used for note taking, on-screen drawing/painting, and electronic document annotation. They help prevent the problem of one's fingers or hands accidentally contacting the screen.
Since many modern tablets make use of multi-touch recognition, some stylus and app manufactures have created palm rejection technologies into their products. This works to turn off the multi-touch feature allowing the palm to rest on the tablet while still recognizing the stylus.
Other than the types above, a haptic stylus is a stylus that simulates, through haptic technology, realistic physical sensations which can be felt while writing on paper. The sensation is sometimes enhanced by the combination of auditory and tactile illusions, such as with RealPen.[9]
A stylus is also an instrument used to scribe a recording into smoked foil or glass. In various scientific instruments this method may be employed instead of a pen for recording as it has the advantage of being able to operate over a wide temperature range, does not clog or dry prematurely, and has nearly negligible friction in comparison to other methods. These characteristics were useful in certain types of early seismographs and in recording barographs that were once used to verify sailplane records. The styluses used in scanning tunneling microscopes have only a single atom at the tip; these are effectively the sharpest styluses possible.
Your Surface Book seems to have a keyboard that you can use.
If you remove/disable/fold it down, you miss the modifier keys which are needed for changing modes of pointer tools, the character keys for switching between tools and some keys for controling start/end of operations (enter, delete, esc). In that case you should use an onscreen keyboard. If you have a configurable OSK, you can customize it to show only the buttons you actually need for SketchUp (e.g. maybe only modifier keys).
So a pointing device with hover mode and primary&secondary click (like a trackpad or 3-button mouse) is essential. I still like to use a stylus in combination, since for some tasks it feels more natural (you click where you see something on the screen) and for tasks similar to lasso selection it is more precise.
And now we have touch screens, ipads, and the like. We are a big step closer. Nothing like there yet but getting closer. Of course, as has been pointed out here, to make this kind of thing work is not just a question of the hardware. The software must be designed to enable it too. Maybe when the techies realize that using a pen-like device on a drawing board-like surface is so intuitive and natural that everyone will want to do it, things will start to fall into place?
During my education as a architectural draftsman I drafted with drawing ink on paper (Shortly after, we moved to cad). Now, 25 years later, I consider purchasing a Wacom Cintiq 24". The pen has two buttons. Would be possible to use them for Pan and Orbit. Everything else with shortcuts, like I do it anyway. On my keyboard and/or the little remote, which comes with the Wacom.
Could be a lot of fun.

I recently upgraded to the new Square terminal. The stylus I had used with my cell phone is not compatible with the screen on the new terminal (it makes no Mark's on the screen). Can you recommend a brand or type of stylus that will work with the screen on Square's new terminal? Thanks.
The Square stand alone terminals do not support the use of a stylus. Our Salon members and clients prefer a stylus, especially when using the Square Terminal due to its small size. We are presently in a discussion mode in respect to returning the terminals and returning to the use of Android Tablets for our Salon transactions. Is anyone else experiencing this challenge with the Stand Alone units? Thoughts?
Signatures have historically been used as an extra form of verification for purchases, but the use of EMV technology has increasingly limited the need for customer signatures. It is also helpful that Signature Capturing can be removed from your Settings Tab.
However, my environment is an extension made for Chrome and Opera. It works in a JS environment and it works offline, so neither 1, 2 or 3 applies. What I'm really looking for here is just a way to write CSS more efficiently with less headaches, more variables, nesting and mixins.
CSS Preprocessors aren't actually meant to be run client-side. Some tools (i.e. LESS) provide a development-time client-side (JavaScript) compiler that will compile on the fly; however, this isn't meant for production.
The fact that Stylus/Sass do not provide this by default is actually a good thing and I personally wish that LESS did not; however, at the same time, I do realize that having it opens the door to people that may prefer to have some training wheels which can help them along in the beginning. Everyone learns in a different way so this may be just the feature that can get certain groups of people in the door initially. So, for development, it may be fine, but at the time of this writing, this workflow is not the most performant thing to do in production. Hopefully, at some point, most of the useful features in these tools will be added to native CSS then this will be a moot point.
Right now, my advice would be to deploy the compiled CSS only and use something like watch or guard or live-reload or codekit (or any suitable equivalent file watcher) in development so your stylus files are getting re-compiled as you code.
Earlier implementations needed javascript to compile the LESS files into CSS in the browser, I've never tried to work this way didn't seem that great to me and as you say if JS is switched off your in for a rough time.
Using this work flow, I'm able to get around the issues your raised above, when I'm done doing development I just upload my css file outputted from simpless which is also heavily minified which also saves time in terms of needing to optimise the css further.
I've been trying to use stylus to grade math papers with my HP Envy. My computer & stylus do great with all other programs but Canvas. When I try and use the pen tool in speedgrader, if I pick up the pen at all (even to create a T), it shifts all around. Other than downloading and uploading, any ideas? Is the IPad and Apple pencil truly the only compatible tool for this? And does it even work?
