Abstract
Soft keys (6, 8) are allocated desired functions and associated labels (10, 12) in accordance with predetermined rules and in dependence upon variable mapping control data in order to match the display data to the display capabilities and available soft keys of a particular device. Candidates for allocation to soft keys can be given relative priorities for this allocation and preferred relative locations can be specified for individual or pairs of soft keys. User options can modify the way the soft keys are allocated to take account of left handed or right handed user of a device.
