Abstract: A computer-implemented method is described for displaying an on-screen keyboard on a touch-sensitive display of an electronic device is described. The method may detect contact of a finger in a contact area of the display and monitor movement of the contact area on display in response to movement of the finger across the display. The method may determine that the contact area is proximate a region of the display that includes a key of the on-screen keyboard, and provide a haptic effect to indicate that the finger is proximate the at least one key. The haptic effect may be provided via the display and be provided proximate to the detected contact area. In an example embodiment, an anchor on one or more keys of the on-screen keyboard is provides a further haptic effect to the finger when the finger is proximate to the anchor.
