One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates selecting items of content in a graphical user interface (GUI) for a portable computing device. During operation, the system receives an indication that the portable computing device has been rotated. In response to the rotation, the system presents the user with a detailed list of items of content. Next, the system receives a command from the user to set a focus of the GUI to an item of content in the list. In response to the command, the system shifts the focus to the item of content. Next, the system receives an indication that the portable computing device has been rotated back toward an original orientation. In response to the rotation back, the system selects the item of content.
