APPARATUS AND ASSOCIATED METHODS
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory having computer program code stored thereon, the computer program code and at least one memory being configured to, when run on the at least one processor, perform:
- detection of physical tilting of a display, the display being configured to provide user visual output associated with at least one running application, and wherein the at least one running application has a virtual keyboard associated therewith provided on the display; and
provide, in response to detection of said physical tilting of said display, corresponding graphical tilting of an onscreen area of a display to reveal a previously off-screen area of the user visual output associated with the at least one running application.

Abstract
In one or more embodiments described herein, there is provided an apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory having computer program code stored thereon, the computer program code and at least one memory being configured to, when run on the at least one processor, perform detection of physical tilting of a display. The display is configured to provide user visual output associated with at least one running application. The at least one running application also has a virtual keyboard associated therewith provided on the display. The computer program code and at least one memory are also configured to, when run on the at least one processor, provide, in response to detection of said physical tilting of said display, corresponding graphical tilting of an onscreen area of a display to reveal a previously off-screen area of the user visual output associated with the at least one running application.
