1. A method comprising:
- recognizing a first input as selecting an object displayed by a display device;
recognizing a second input as a line drawn outside the bounds of the object, the line recognized as being drawn while the object is selected; and

Abstract
Techniques involving gestures and other functionality are described. In one or more implementations, the techniques describe gestures that are usable to provide inputs to a computing device. A variety of different gestures are contemplated, including bimodal gestures (e.g., using more than one type of input) and single modal gestures. Additionally, the gesture techniques may be configured to leverage these different input types to increase the amount of gestures that are made available to initiate operations of a computing device.
