Techniques are disclosed for providing a circular gesture mode in electronic touch sensitive devices. The user can engage the mode with a particular gesture that includes a combination of contact points that uniquely identify that the circular gesture mode is desired. The combination may include, for example, a press-and-hold activation contact point in conjunction with one or more additional contact points moving in a circular motion, or a multiple contact points moving circular motion. The circular gesture can be used to cause, for instance, specific functions within a given application, and/or within different applications. Clockwise movement can be used to cause one type of change, while counter-clockwise motion can be used to cause another type. Changing pages, sections, and chapters of a book, or changing volume of an audio application, or changing a tool within a given application, or from changing from one application to another are example uses. |
