Abstract
Some embodiments provide a method for performing operations in a user interface of an application. The method activates a cursor to operate as a multi-operation user-interface (UI) tool. The method performs a first operation with the multi-operation UI tool in response to cursor controller input in a first direction. The method performs a second operation with the multi-operation UI tool in response to cursor controller input in a second direction. At least one of the first and second operations is a non-directional operation.
