The first placeholder may be a first input placeholder in the first character string, or a first-ranked placeholder in the first character string, and may be specifically set according to an actual situation, which is not limited herein. The highlighted placeholder is the selected placeholder. The highlighting may be a highlighting or a bolding, which is not limited herein.

It should be noted that the input keyboard may include the second key in any input mode. And if the second key is clicked, entering a placeholder editing mode, and if the second key is clicked again, exiting the placeholder editing mode and entering a normal mode. In the placeholder editing mode, a copy operation and a paste operation for the first character string may be prohibited. In the normal mode, a copy operation and a paste operation may be performed on the first character string.

After clicking the lowercase letter "a", the first placeholder 24 is replaced with "a", as shown in fig. 2-3, and the characters obtained after the replacement are "AaB \9633;" C \9633; ".

In this embodiment, the second key can trigger the entering of the placeholder editing mode, so that the characters of the first placeholder in the second input mode are replaced, the whole process only needs to be switched once, the switching operation of the user can be reduced, and the input efficiency is improved.

In an embodiment of the application, in a case that the at least one placeholder includes a second placeholder, and the second placeholder is a next placeholder to the first placeholder, after receiving the second input by the user into the input keyboard, the method further comprises:

in response to the second input, placing the second placeholder in a selected state.

Specifically, the second placeholder is the next placeholder of the first placeholder in the first string, e.g., as shown in fig. 2-2, if the first placeholder is a placeholder between a and B, the second placeholder is a placeholder located between B and C; if the first placeholder is the last placeholder, the second placeholder is the first placeholder in the first string, i.e., the placeholder between a and B, and in the case that the first string includes one placeholder, the first placeholder of the first string is also the last placeholder of the first string.

As shown in fig. 2-3, after the first placeholder 24 is replaced with "a", the resulting string is "AaB \9633;" C \9633; "highlighted moves to the next placeholder, i.e., the placeholder between B and C, which is the second placeholder.

In this embodiment, after the first placeholder is replaced with the second character, if the at least one placeholder includes a second placeholder, the second placeholder is in a selected state, so as to continue to be replaced with the second placeholder. Through the steps, the placeholders can be selected automatically in sequence, and the user can replace the placeholders only by inputting the replacement characters, so that the user operation is simplified, and the input efficiency is improved.

Specifically, the fourth input may be an input of clicking a second key, and by clicking the second key, the second input mode may be closed, and the input mode of the input keyboard is switched to the first input mode; and under the condition that the placeholders in the first character string are replaced, the input mode of the input keyboard is automatically switched into the first input mode without manual operation of a user. Through the steps, the input mode of the input keyboard can be actively or automatically switched to the first input mode, and the input cursor is displayed again, so that the user can continuously input characters in the first input mode, the user operation is simplified, and the input efficiency is improved.

In an embodiment of the application, after replacing the first placeholder of the at least one placeholder with the second character, the method further includes:

receiving a fifth input of the user;

in response to the fifth input, replacing the second character with the first placeholder and placing the first placeholder in a selected state.

Specifically, a fifth input is used to delete the modification to the newly replaced placeholder, which may be an input clicking the "delete" button. As shown in FIGS. 2-3, if the user clicks the "delete" button, the modification of the placeholder at the "a" location will be reversed, the "a" will be replaced back to "\9633;" and this placeholder is highlighted. The first placeholder is selected in a highlighted form, which may be highlighted and selected, and the user may continue character replacing the first placeholder, i.e. entering a new character to replace the first placeholder.

Through the steps, the replacement of the first placeholder by the second character can be backed, namely the second character is replaced by the first placeholder, the user can input the character again to replace the first placeholder, the user can modify the character at the first placeholder conveniently, and the input efficiency is improved.
