Abstract
A computing device includes at least one processor and at least one module. The module may determine and output for display a list of one or more suggested character strings based on a first input received at a presence-sensitive display. The module may further receive an indication of a second user input detected at the presence-sensitive display. The module may further determine whether the second user input includes a replacement gesture, wherein the replacement gesture includes a first gesture in a substantially leftward direction and a second gesture in a substantially rightward direction. Responsive to determining that the received gesture input includes the replacement gesture, the module may output for display in place of the displayed text, a character string chosen from the list of one or more suggested character strings.
