Summary:A method ( 300 ) for entering a character into an electronic device ( 100 ) is provided. The method ( 300 ) includes displaying ( 301 ) input character keys ( 204 ) on a touch sensitive region ( 202 ) of a display screen ( 105 ) of the device ( 100 ), the keys identifying an associated character. Next, a display step ( 309 ) shows at least one entered character in a display region ( 201 ) of the screen, the entered character having been selected by actuation of one of the character keys ( 204 ). Next, a group of potential subsequent characters that follow the entered character is predicted ( 311, 317 ). A second set of input character keys ( 205 ) identifying the potential subsequent characters is displayed ( 327 ). The second set of keys ( 205 ) are grouped together ( 323 ) such that their relative screen locations with respect to each other are different to that of corresponding keys in the first set of keys ( 204 ). Finally in receiving ( 303 ) and displaying steps ( 309 ), the potential subsequent characters are entered adjacent the entered character, the entering having been in response to actuation of one of the second set of keys ( 205 ).
