Push-Pull Type Gestures

摘要

Techniques for push-pull type gestures are described. In embodiments, a push gesture away from a cursor object that is displayed by a display device is recognized. An assisted location object is then displayed to assist a user in repositioning the cursor object based on the push gesture. In implementations, a prompt gesture is recognized effective to cause a prompt object having one or more options to be displayed. The options that are displayed are selectable to initiate a function that is operable using the cursor object. In addition, a motion select gesture that selects one of the options is recognized effective to replace the prompt object and initiate a function corresponding to the selected option. Also, selected text is automatically divided into a plurality of vertical sections that are individually selectable to include or exclude when performing a subsequent function, and then the subsequent function is performed.
