Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus that provides for user interaction with soft key functions on a wireless communication device (100) where the number of softkey functions exceeds the number of physical softkeys available. An initial assignment of softkey functions to the available softkeys (118) on the user interface of the wireless communication device is made. Thereafter, subsequent softkey assignments may be altered through an interaction with the navigation keys (120). Additionally, the user is given the option of selecting among different softkey function presentation and alteration schemes.
