Abstract
A data processing system includes a keyboard structure for a multi-character keyboard, and controls on-screen representing of the keyboard structure. A particular key may be activated through pointing, for subsequently presenting the associated key data to the system. A first subset of keyboard keys is selected for direct pointability. A second subset of keys is selected for adjacent representation to the first subset in a relatively less space-consuming format for subsequent indirect pointability. Through shifting, the selection controls substituting a second subset for the first subset, and inherently selects a third subset of keys for adjacent representation to the second set for subsequent indirect pointability.
