Abstract
A system and method of determining a dynamic cursor advance time delay for a multi-tap key is disclosed. First, an elapsed time between a selection of a first key and a selection of a second key is measured. The measured elapsed time is then compared to a current cursor advance time delay. The current cursor advance time delay is then adjusted. In one embodiment, measuring the elapsed time between the selection of the first key and the selection of the second key includes averaging the elapsed time with previously recorded elapsed times.
