Described herein are techniques for rendering additional keys on a display of an electronic device based on one or more characteristics of a user's selection of another key. After rendering the additional keys, the user may thereafter select one of the additional keys now available and rendered on the display.

Facilitating selection of keys related to a selected key

Systems, devices, and techniques are provided for customization of a layout of keys based at least on position of a finger of an end-user of user equipment. The customization can be implemented dynamically in response to changes in actions associated with interaction between end-users and the user equipment. A customized layout of keys of a keyboard layout associated with the user equipment can be leveraged for implementation of a typing technique.

Keyboard customization according to finger positions

Techniques for performing progressive updates on displays of respective electronic devices. The techniques may update a display in two or more steps for the purpose of first providing a quick response and thereafter providing a higher quality rendering of the update. For instance, when the techniques receive an indication that the device has received an instruction to perform an update on a particular portion of the display, the techniques may compare one or more aspects of the update to one or more predefined criteria. If the update satisfies the criteria, then the techniques may instruct a display controller to first perform the update in black and white and may set a timer for later instructing the display controller to perform the update in grayscale.
