1. A system comprising:
- one or more processors; and
memory having one or more instructions stored thereon that, responsive to execution by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform operations comprising;
presenting, based on a selected character and in a user interface, multiple character strings representing words or later parts of words or acronyms of which the selected character is a part, at least one of the multiple character strings being a multi-string having two or more character strings of the multiple character strings, the multi-string having or completing a long word and at least one of the two or more character strings having or completing a short word, the short word being shorter than the long word and being a constituent part of the long word, the short word and the long word being presented at the same time in the user interface;
enabling selection, through the user interface and with a gesture, to select the short word or the long word through selection of one or more of the multiple character strings, wherein the selection of the multiple character string for the short word would be selecting a portion of the multiple character string for the long word;
receiving selection, through the user interface, of the short word or the long word of the one of the multiple character strings through the gesture; and
providing or presenting the selected short word or long word.

1. A system comprising:
-
one or more processors; and memory having one or more instructions stored thereon that, responsive to execution by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform operations comprising; presenting, based on a selected character and in a user interface, multiple character strings representing words or later parts of words or acronyms of which the selected character is a part, at least one of the multiple character strings being a multi-string having two or more character strings of the multiple character strings, the multi-string having or completing a long word and at least one of the two or more character strings having or completing a short word, the short word being shorter than the long word and being a constituent part of the long word, the short word and the long word being presented at the same time in the user interface; enabling selection, through the user interface and with a gesture, to select the short word or the long word through selection of one or more of the multiple character strings, wherein the selection of the multiple character string for the short word would be selecting a portion of the multiple character string for the long word; receiving selection, through the user interface, of the short word or the long word of the one of the multiple character strings through the gesture; and providing or presenting the selected short word or long word. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

7. One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having instructions stored thereon that, responsive to execution by one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving an indication indicating selection of a character, the selection of the character through a gesture-sensitive character-entry interface; presenting or causing presentation of, responsive to the selection of the character, based on the character, and through a completion interface, multiple characters adjacent a location at which the character was selected or superimposed over at least a portion of the gesture-sensitive character-entry interface, at least one of the multiple characters being a multi-string having or completing a long word and a short word, the short word being shorter than the long word and being a constituent part of the long word, the short word and the long word being presented at a same time and in the completion interface; enabling selection, through the completion interface, to select the short word or the long word, wherein selecting the short word would be selecting a portion of the multiple characters for the long word; receiving selection, through the completion interface, of the short word or the long word; and providing or presenting the selected short word or long word. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A system comprising:
-
one or more processors; and memory having one or more instructions stored thereon that, responsive to execution by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform operations comprising; presenting a first user interface having, and enabling selection of, multiple characters or character strings through a gesture or gesture portion, the multiple characters or character strings presented at least partially obscuring an unselected character entry control or adjacent to or surrounding a selected character entry control, at least one of the character strings having or completing a long word and a short word, the short word being shorter than the long word and being a constituent part of the long word, the short word and the long word being presented at a same time in the first user interface; and responsive to selection through the first user interface to select the short word or the long word through selection of one or more of the multiple characters or character strings, wherein selecting the multiple characters or character strings for the short word would be selecting a portion of the multiple characters or character strings for the long word, providing the selected short word or long word. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
