1. A computer-implemented user interface method, comprising:
- displaying, within a region of a touchscreen of a computing device, a first sub-portion of a list of items;
receiving, from a user of the computing device, a drawn input within the region of the touchscreen, wherein at least some of the drawn input is received while the first sub-portion of the list of items is displayed within the region of the touchscreen;
determining whether the drawn input comprises a scrolling input for the list of items or an entry of a glyph;
determining that the drawn input corresponds to a particular glyph assigned to a particular item in the list of items; and
in response to determining that the drawn input corresponds to the particular glyph, automatically displaying, within the region of the touchscreen, a second sub-portion of the list comprising the particular item to which the particular glyph is assigned.

11. An article tangibly embodied in a non-transitory computer-readable data storage medium storing program code operable to cause one or more machines to perform operations, the operations comprising:
-
displaying, within a region of a touchscreen of a computing device, a first sub-portion of a list of items; receiving, from a user of the computing device, a drawn input within the region of the touchscreen, wherein at least some of the drawn input is received while the first sub-portion of the list of items is displayed within the region of the touchscreen; determining whether the drawn input comprises a scrolling input for the list of items or an entry of a glyph; determining that the drawn input corresponds to a particular glyph assigned to a particular item in the list of items; and in response to determining that the drawn input corresponds to the particular glyph, automatically displaying, within the region of the touchscreen, a second sub-portion of the list comprising the particular item to which the particular glyph is assigned. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)

14. A computer-implemented user interface system, comprising:
-
a graphical display and one or more associated processors and stored instructions configured to; display content, including content associated with characters or symbols, within a region of the graphical display across an area on which varying visible graphics are capable of being displayed, and receive a user-drawn glyph within the region of the graphical display; a glyph interpreter programmed to; receive the user-drawn glyph, determine whether the user-drawn glyph comprises a scrolling input or an entry of a glyph, and determine that the drawn input corresponds to a particular glyph assigned to a particular item in the list of items; and a drawn user input controller programmed to display on the graphical display, in response to determining that the drawn input corresponds to the particular glyph, within the region of the graphical display, a sub-portion of the list comprising the particular item to which the particular glyph is assigned. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)
