Cross-slide gesture to select and rearrange

摘要

A cross slide gesture method for touch displays is described. The method comprises detecting a gesture slide input relative to a display device of a computing device and determining the gestural slide input direction is different from a panning or scrolling direction. If the gestural slide input is in a direction that is different from the panning or scrolling direction, a speed bump effect of gestural feedback that is slower than the gestural slide input is provided to a user. The speed bump effect is associated with a speed bump that defines a distance threshold. If the gestural slide input exceeds the distance threshold, the speed bump effect of the gestural feedback is removed and a first object-related action is performed.
