Abstract
A computing device, and method thereof, may have a first display. A first user input is received from an input device of the computing device. In response, a task manager is displayed, the task manager having representations of respective objects on the computing device. When a second user input is received via the input device, a target representation is selected according to the second user input and an application window of an application corresponding to the target representation is displayed on the second display.

8. A computing device comprising:
-
a first display; an input device usable by a user to provide two-dimensional inputs; storage hardware storing an operating system, applications installed to the operating system, and instructions; processing hardware, when operating, to execute the instructions to perform a process comprising; responsive to a user interaction with the computing device, displaying on the first display a user interface element comprising representations corresponding to applications, the user interface element able to handle input instances of a first input type, the input instances corresponding to uses of the input device, the handling comprising invoking a transfer operation, and responsive to detection of an input instance of the first type of user input determined to be associated with a target one of the representations of the user interface element, automatically establishing a connection between the computing device and a second display and then displaying an application window of the target application on the second display. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
