1. A method, comprising:
- receiving an input of a character from a virtual keyboard displayed on a display;
generating one or more sets of predicted input characters based on the input character, wherein each set of predicted input characters corresponds to a subsequent candidate input character; and
displaying a visual indication of at least some of the one or more sets of predicted input characters, wherein the visual indication is displayed at keys of the virtual keyboard associated with subsequent candidate input characters corresponding to the sets of predicted input characters.

20. A keyboard rendered on a touchscreen display of an electronic device, the keyboard comprising:
-
a plurality of keys, each key corresponding to one or more different characters of a plurality of characters; wherein in response to receiving an input of a character, the keyboard is configured to generate one or more sets of predicted input characters based on the input character, wherein each set of predicted input characters corresponds to a subsequent candidate input character, and display a visual indication of at least some of the one or more sets of predicted input characters, wherein the visual indication is displayed at keys of the virtual keyboard associated with subsequent candidate input characters corresponding to the sets of predicted input characters.
