A system and method on a computing device that significantly reduces the average time required to locate and select a desired command of the device. A two-dimensional menu (grid) of commands is provided, in combination with improved selection techniques including simultaneous hardware button usage. Pressing and holding a menu button causes display of the command menu, with the center, default item initially selected. A directional control button may be used to change the selection, and scroll the display if more commands are available than presently displayed. When the menu invoke button is released, the currently selected item is invoked, thereby rapidly enabling selection and invocation of a command. The method and system may be enhanced with a menu locking feature to facilitate single-handed command selection.
