Method and apparatus for selecting an object within a user interface by performing a gesture |
摘要 |
One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates invoking a command. During operation, the system suggests (802) with a graphic element a gesture to use to invoke a command. The system then receives (804) the gesture from a user at a device. Note that the gesture is received via an input mechanism, and also note that the gesture is a predetermined manipulation of the input mechanism. The system then determines (806) a graphic element within the user interface that is associated with the gesture. Finally, upon determining (810) the object associated with the gesture, the system invokes the command associated with the graphic element.
