6. The method of claim 1 , wherein outputting the gesture completion path extending from the second character key comprises outputting the gesture completion path extending from the second character key toward an edge of a third character key corresponding to a third letter of the candidate word.
1. A method comprising: outputting, by a computing device and for display at a display device, a graphical keyboard comprising a plurality of character keys; receiving, at the computing device, an indication of a first input gesture, a first portion of the first input gesture indicating a first character key of the plurality of character keys and a second portion of the first input gesture indicating a second character key of the plurality of character keys; determining, by the computing device and based at least in part on the first character key and the second character key, a candidate word; outputting, by the computing device and for display at a region of the display device at which the graphical keyboard is displayed, a gesture completion path extending from the second character key, the second character key being the most recently indicated character key, and the gesture completion path being associated with the candidate word; and selecting, by the computing device and in response to receiving an indication of a second input gesture that substantially traverses the gesture completion path, the candidate word associated with the gesture completion path.
