Abstract
A keyboard image is displayed on the touchscreen of a computing device, with images of individual keys of the keyboard being rendered in respective locations on the touchscreen. User contact with the touchscreen is detected at a location corresponding to a first key of the keyboard image and interpreted as an intentional key selection with respect the first key. An animation is thereafter displayed on the touchscreen in response to the key selection, the animation including a visual effect emanating from the touchscreen location corresponding to the first key and moving substantially away from the keyboard image.
