A user interface method and apparatus for an electronic device operates by detecting a stroke ( 20 ) of a touch sensitive display ( 10 ) forming a part of the electronic device. The stroke is interpreted by the user interface method ( 73 ) as a sequence of commands where each command is associated to one edge traversed by the stroke, and possibly to the direction and to the speed at which the input device crossed the edge. The touch sensitive display ( 10 ) can be shared between the user interface method and any other application. If a stroke does not traverse any edges or is identified by other means as irrelevant for the user interface method, it is translated into an application function.
