Abstract
Systems are provided for adjusting a keyboard or a touch screen in a handheld device. A user may configure the handheld device to automatically shift to a pre-determined location in the handheld device. The handheld device may implement software that records keystrokes. Based on the majority of keystrokes determined from each hand, the keyboard may shift to the hand with the majority of keystrokes. The handheld device may implement a sensory mechanism that records touches on the handheld device. Based on the touches, the keyboard in the handheld device may shift to or away from the hand touching the handheld device or the hand recording the majority of touches on the handheld device.
