Abstract
Computing equipment may display data items in a list on a touch screen display. The computing equipment may use the touch screen display to detect touch gestures. A user may select a data item using a touch gesture such as a tap gesture. In response, the computing equipment may display a selectable option. When the option is displayed, movable markers may be placed in the list. The markers can be dragged to new locations to adjust how many of the data items are selected and highlighted in the list. Ranges of selected items may be merged by moving the markers to unify separate groups of selected items. A region that contains multiple selectable options may be displayed adjacent to a selected item. The selectable options may correspond to different ways to select and deselect items. Multifinger swipe gestures may be used to select and deselect data items.
