Abstract
Methods and apparatuses are provided for improving character entry in an electronic device. User input of one or more characters is received via a capacitive physical keyboard. A second user input is then received indicating a desire to add or remove a word completion, such as a prefix or a suffix, to the first set of characters. Based on a generated list of word completion rules, the electronic device modifies the word based on the user input, and outputs the completed word for display.
