A keyboard for a computer includes at least one insertion point control device (100-110) (eg. touchpad, mouse, rollerball). When alphanumeric or typographic keys on the keyboard are actively being used, the insertion point control device is automatically disabled or ignored for a predetermined period of time. As a result, when a user is actively typing, the insertion point control device is automatically disabled, and when the user pauses, the insertion point control device is re-enabled. Automatically disabling or ignoring the insertion point control device reduces the risk of inadvertent movement of an insertion point. |
