Abstract

Systems and methods for adaptively presenting a keyboard on a touch-sensitive display are disclosed herein. In one aspect, a method includes: monitoring typing inputs received from a user at a touch-sensitive display of an electronic device. The method also includes: determining whether the typing inputs are converging towards a midpoint of the touch-sensitive display or diverging away from the midpoint of the touch-sensitive display. In accordance with a determination that the typing inputs are converging towards the midpoint of the touch-sensitive display, the method includes: providing a first feedback to the user to indicate that the typing inputs are converging. In accordance with a determination that the typing inputs are diverging away from the midpoint of the touch-sensitive display, the method includes: providing a second feedback to the user to indicate that the typing inputs are diverging.
