First Claim
Patent Images
1. :
- A method, comprising;
activating, by a computing device, a graphical key that comprises a touch-target and is displayed at a touch-based interface of the computing device;
upon activation of the graphical key, receiving gesture input corresponding to a directional gesture at the touch-based interface of the computing device; and
moving a text cursor displayed at the touch-based interface from a first graphical location at the touch-based interface to a second graphical location at the touch-based interface by at least one selected increment based on a property of the gesture input, wherein the at least one selected increment is one of a space, a letter, a word, a line, a sentence, a paragraph, or any combinations thereof.

Abstract
In general, this disclosure describes techniques for moving a graphical selector. In one example, a method includes activating, by a computing device, a graphical key that is displayed with a presence-sensitive interface of the computing device. Upon activation of the graphical key, the method also includes receiving gesture input corresponding to a directional gesture using the presence-sensitive interface of the computing device and moving a graphical selector displayed with the presence-sensitive interface from a first graphical location to a second graphical location by at least one selected increment based on a property of the gesture input.
