1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, by a computing device, an indication that a first gesture has been performed on a touch sensitive display of the computing device; identifying, by the computing device, a first application that corresponds to the first gesture; receiving, by the computing device, an indication that a second gesture has been performed on the touch sensitive display of the computing device after the first gesture has been performed; identifying, by the computing device in response to receiving the indication that the second gesture has been performed, a first operation that corresponds to the second gesture and that is one of multiple operations assigned to the first application, wherein each of the multiple operations assigned to the first application corresponds to a respective gesture; and in response to identifying the first application that corresponds to the first gesture and identifying the first operation that corresponds to the second gesture, executing the first application and performing the first operation in the first application.
