Abstract
A method and system. A first computer device receives a selection of a form field in a web page from a second computer device that is displaying a virtual keyboard on a display screen in the second computer device. The first and second computer devices are different computer devices. The first computer device determines one or more candidate character keys. The first computer device removes one or more matching character keys from the one or more candidate character keys that match keys in the virtual keyboard. The first computer device determines one or more supplement character keys. The first computer device communicates the one or more supplement character keys to the second computer device. The first computer device causes the second computer device to simultaneously display, on the display screen in the second computer device, the virtual keyboard and the one or more supplement character keys.
