Abstract

Input from a keyboard of a computing device may include displaying a character associated with a key depending on whether the user single-tapped or double-tapped the key. A single touch on the key may cause the computing device to display an initial character that is associated with the key. A double touch on the key may cause the computing device to display an alternate character that is associated with the key.
