1. A computing system comprising:
- a display;
one or more processors;
one or more computer storage media storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform acts comprising;
displaying a text entry area in a graphical user interface on the display, the text entry area having a plurality of associated activation areas, each activation area associated with a respective entry mode of a plurality of entry modes, at least two of the activation areas associated with different entry modes of the plurality of entry modes;
receiving an input command to activate the text entry area for text entry, the input command being associated with one of the plurality of activation areas; and
activating the text entry area for text entry in the entry mode that is associated with the activation area with which the input command is associated.

Abstract
Some implementations provide techniques and arrangements for text entry mode selection. For instance, some examples display a text entry area in a graphical user interface. The text entry area may have a plurality of activation areas, with each activation area corresponding to a respective text entry mode of the text entry area. Upon receiving an input in one of the activation areas, the text entry area may be activated in the text entry mode corresponding to the activation area in which the input is received.
