Different types of user inputs can be input by a user via a keyboard of an input device. These different types of user inputs include, for example, key strikes, multi-touch interactions, single finger motions, and/or mouse clicks. Touch information regarding the pressure applied to the keys of a pressure sensitive keyboard over time (or the contact area of the user input for other types of keyboards over time) is used to classify the intent of the user input as one of the various types of user inputs.

1. A method comprising: obtaining touch information regarding a single finger touching a keyboard of an input device, the input device supporting multiple different user intents for the single finger touching the keyboard, the obtaining comprising obtaining force information; andautomatically determining, based on the touch information, which of the multiple different user intents is intended for the single finger touching the keyboard, the multiple different user intents including a key strike, a mouse click, and a single finger motion, the determining including: determining that the user intent intended for the single finger touching the keyboard is the key strike in response to the touch information conforming to characteristics of the key strike,determining that the user intent intended for the single finger touching the keyboard is the mouse click in response to the touch information conforming to characteristics of the mouse click, the characteristics of the key strike indicating that the force applied by the single finger touching the keyboard rises faster than the characteristics of the mouse click indicate,determining that the user intent intended for the single finger touching the keyboard is the single finger motion in response to the touch information conforming to characteristics of the single finger motion. 2. The method as recited in claim 1, the input device comprising multiple pressure sensors that sense the single finger touching the keyboard, and the obtaining comprising obtaining force information. 3. The method as recited in claim 1, the input device comprising a capacitive system that senses the single finger touching the keyboard, and the obtaining comprising obtaining contact information. 4. The method as recited in claim 1, the determining that the user intent is the single finger motion comprising determining that the user intent is the single finger motion in response to the single finger travelling a threshold distance across the keyboard. 5. The method as recited in claim 1, the determining that the user intent is the single finger motion comprising determining that the user intent is the single finger motion in response to the single finger having a threshold velocity across the keyboard. 6. The method as recited in claim 1, the input device comprising an input device that is physically separate from and communicatively removable from a computing device. 7. The method as recited in claim 1, the determining comprising determining which of the multiple different user intents is intended by comparing the touch information to one or more graphs representing user input intents, and determining whether the key strike or the mouse click is intended based on an intent associated with the one of the one or more graphs with which the touch information conforms. 8. The method as recited in claim 1, the determining comprising determining which of the multiple different user intents is intended for the single finger touching the keyboard in the absence of another option or button selection by a user to indicate which of the multiple different user intents is intended. 9.
