1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving a user touch input; and
responsive to receiving the user touch input at a touch screen of a device, displaying a menu on the touch screen comprising multiple selectable items to allow a user to select an item of the multiple selectable items, the selectable items including;
a first item of the multiple selectable items configured to cause a first action comprising directing a computer system to interpret one or more subsequent user touch inputs as hover cursor input, keyboard input or right-mouse button input; and
a second item of the multiple selectable items configured to cause a second action that is different from the first action, the second action comprising directing the computer system to interpret one or more subsequent user touch inputs as hover cursor input, keyboard input or right-mouse button input.

Abstract
Systems and methods for a user interface for stylus-based user input is described. In one aspect, a stylus-based user input is received. Responsive to receiving the input, a menu is displayed. The menu includes selectable items to allow a user, by selecting one of the selectable items, to direct the computer system to generate right-mouse button input or to interpret one or more subsequent stylus-based user inputs as hover cursor input, keyboard-like input, or handwriting input.
