Abstract: A method of operation for a computer executable user interface program to improve the functionality of computing device input comprising providing a virtual keyboard having a set of regions comprising an inactive background area, one or more keys configured to be responsive to touch events, and one or more targets, which may be fixed in location or dynamically located relative to one or more keys, and which also may incorporate a context retrieval module, a completion generator, having an interface to a host application, an executive module in communication with the virtual keyboard, the context retrieval module, the completion generator, and the host application where the executive module is configured to execute computer code whereby if a touch event is detected having a touch point within a key, and the touch point moves until it is within a target, and the touch event ends while the touch point is within the target, then one or more values associated with the target may be transmitted to the host applicat
