    display on the display screen of the mobile device a first portion of the link group layout, wherein the first portion does not include all links of the link group;

    logically map each of the displayed links of the first portion of the link group to a distinct user input, in which correspondence between links in the link group and keystrokes or voice commands is created;

    alter the display of the link groups to display a second portion of the link group layout; and

    logically map each of the displayed links of the second portion of the link group to a distinct user input;
