Abstract
A method includes displaying a user interface on a display of a client device. The user interface includes a virtual keyboard including characters arranged in rows and columns. The method also includes fixing a focus of a cursor displayed in the user interface to a first row or a first column in the virtual keyboard, responsive to receiving a first request to move the cursor in a first direction in the virtual keyboard, wrapping the one of the characters around the row or the column to a last row or a last column of the virtual keyboard to present another of the characters within the focus of the cursor, and responsive to receiving a second request to move the cursor in the virtual keyboard in a second direction, moving the focus of the cursor to a list of word suggestions.
