1. An electronic device comprising:
a communication device by which the electronic device communicatively couples to an external display device;
a memory having stored thereon an input style module (ISM) providing a current input style of the electronic device and enabling a conversion of original inputs into modified inputs; and
at least one processor communicatively coupled to the communication device and to the memory, the at least one processor executing program code of the ISM, which enables the electronic device to:
identify, from device data received from the external display device via the communication device, a first external display input style of the external display device;
determine if the current input style of the electronic device corresponds to the first external display input style of the external display device;
in response to determining that the current input style of the electronic device does not correspond to the first external display input style of the external display device, convert original inputs received at the electronic device using the current input style into modified inputs corresponding to the first external display input style; and
communicate the modified inputs to the external display device to enable use of the first external display input style during presentation of and interaction with electronic device content displayed on the external display device.
