Abstract
A method is provided including detecting that a first key in a virtual keypad is pressed, the first key being associated with a first symbol, determining, by an electronic device, whether a predetermined input is received after the first key is pressed, reconfiguring the virtual keypad, without displaying the first symbol, when the predetermined input is received; and displaying the first symbol when the predetermined input is not received.
