A method for initiating a help feature includes detecting and making a first determination as to whether a first interaction with a surface associated with a user interface matches a predetermined first gesture. Following a positive first determination, a second interaction is detected and a second determination is made as to whether a second interaction with the surface matches a predetermined second gesture. Following a positive second determination, one of a plurality of controls presented in the user interface that corresponds to the second interaction is identified. A help feature corresponding to the identified control is caused to be displayed.
