A touch-sensitive display 302 of a computing device 300 concurrently outputs a first virtual keyboard 316A at a first region and a second virtual keyboard 316B at a second region. The first region is different from the second region, and the first and second virtual keyboards display sets of virtual keys. The touch-sensitive display detects a first contact at a first location corresponding to a first character within the first region, and the touch-sensitive display may output the first character. After detecting the first contact, the touch-sensitive display detects a second contact at a second location corresponding to a second character within the second region, and the touch-sensitive display outputs the second character. The touch-sensitive display outputs a terminator character, such as a space or a punctuation mark, in response to determining an absence of any contact within the first and second regions, irrespective of any contact detected at the touch-sensitive display outside of the first region and the second region of the touch-sensitive display. The two displayed virtual keyboards may be substantially identical QWERTY keyboards but may lack spacebars or space keys. The invention automatically adds a space or punctuation after the input of a word. |
