1. A method of selecting input of a computing system including a touch sensing surface, the method comprising:

  • tracking contacts on or near the surface to obtain touch information of the contacts;

    detecting a first gesture corresponding to a first input of the computing system;

    selecting the first input in response to the detection of the first gesture;

    detecting a second gesture corresponding to a second input of the computing system; and

    determining whether to transition from the first input to the second input in response to the detection of the second gesture, wherein determining whether to transition includes determining whether first information satisfies a predetermined criteria, selecting the second input in response to the detection of the second gesture if the first information satisfies the predetermined criteria, and maintaining the first input despite the detection of the second gesture if the first information does not satisfy the predetermined criteria.
