1. A method of processing a user input received on a capacitive touch sensor pad including a matrix of X and Y conductors, the method comprising the steps of:

  • developing capacitance profiles in one of an X direction and a Y direction from said matrix of X and Y conductors, said capacitance profiles identifying a simultaneous presence of at least two user input objects on said capacitive touch sensor pad;

    examining said capacitance profiles to determine an occurrence of a single gesture resulting from the simultaneous presence of the at least two user input objects; and

    indicating the occurrence of said single gesture resulting from said simultaneous presence of the at least two user input objects.
