Abstract: Techniques involving gestures and other functionality are described. In one or more implementations, the techniques describe gestures that are usable to provide inputs to a computing device. A variety of different gestures are contemplated, including bimodal gestures (e.g., using more than one type of input) and single modal gestures. Additionally, the gesture techniques may be configured to leverage these different input types to increase the amount of gestures that are made available to initiate operations of a computing device.

Abstract: Bezel gestures for touch displays are described. In at least some embodiments, the bezel of a device is used to extend functionality that is accessible through the use of so-called bezel gestures. In at least some embodiments, off-screen motion can be used, by virtue of the bezel, to create screen input through a bezel gesture. Bezel gestures can include single-finger bezel gestures, multiple-finger/same-hand bezel gestures, and/or multiple-finger, different-hand bezel gestures.

Abstract: Embodiments of a multi-screen dual tap gesture are described. In various embodiments, a first tap input to a displayed object is recognized at a first screen of a multi-screen system. A second tap input to the displayed object is recognized at a second screen of the multi-screen system, and the second tap input is recognized approximately when the first tap input is recognized. A dual tap gesture can then be determined from the recognized first and second tap inputs.

Abstract: Techniques for selecting and editing visual elements (e.g., shapes) across multiple visuals (e.g., presentation slides) are described. The techniques obtain the multiple visuals each including visual elements. The visual elements may be grouped and synchronized based on similarities of an attribute among the visual elements. The visual elements may be presented to a user for evaluation. The user may select and make changes to a visual element. These changes may be propagated to other visual elements that belong to the same group of the visual element.

Abstract: Bezel gestures for touch displays are described. In at least some embodiments, the bezel of a device is used to extend functionality that is accessible through the use of so-called bezel gestures. In at least some embodiments, off-screen motion can be used, by virtue of the bezel, to create screen input through a bezel gesture. Bezel gestures can include single-finger bezel gestures, multiple-finger/same-hand bezel gestures, and/or multiple-finger, different-hand bezel gestures.

Abstract: Embodiments of a multi-screen bookmark hold gesture are described. In various embodiments, a hold input is recognized at a first screen of a multi-screen system, and the hold input is recognized when held in place proximate an edge of a journal page that is displayed on the first screen. A motion input is recognized at a second screen of the multi-screen system while the hold input remains held in place. A bookmark hold gesture can then be determined from the recognized hold and motion inputs, and the bookmark hold gesture is effective to bookmark the journal page at a location of the hold input on the first screen.

Abstract: A user interface may present multiple presentation slides for user selection. Each slide may include one or more shapes, and a shape thread may be associated with each shape on the slide. For a selected slide, the user interface may present one or more shape threads associated with the selected slide. Each shape displayed on the selected slide may be associated with a particular shape thread, and a user may independently adjust one or more slide transition attributes of a shape via the associated shape thread.

Abstract: Some implementations may include a computing device to generate a presentation including a plurality of slides. The presentation may be generated based on an input file that includes commands from a presentation markup language. The commands may specify details associated with the presentation. The details may include a title and a background image associated with each of the plurality of slides, one or more points to be included in each of the plurality of slides, and a style associated with the each of the plurality of slides.

Abstract: Embodiments of a multi-screen synchronous slide gesture are described. In various embodiments, a first motion input is recognized at a first screen of a multi-screen system, and the first motion input is recognized when moving in a particular direction across the first screen. A second motion input is recognized at a second screen of the multi-screen system, where the second motion input is recognized when moving in the particular direction across the second screen and approximately when the first motion input is recognized. A synchronous slide gesture can then be determined from the recognized first and second motion inputs.

Abstract: Embodiments of a multi-screen hold and page-flip gesture are described. In various embodiments, a hold input is recognized at a first screen of a multi-screen system, and the hold input is recognized when held to select a journal page that is displayed on the first screen. A motion input is recognized at a second screen of the multi-screen system, and the motion input is recognized while the hold input remains held in place. A hold and page-flip gesture can then be determined from the recognized hold and motion inputs, and the hold and page-flip gesture is effective to maintain the display of the journal page while one or more additional journal pages are flipped for display on the second screen.

Abstract: A system and method for input device layout is provided. The input device may be a soft or physical keyboard. The input device is laid out based on contact points provided by one or more users. A layout unit determines optimal size and location of inputs on the input device.

In a further aspect, a disambiguation utility is provided for disambiguating input provided on an input device. An input device comprising a combination of a soft input device and physical inputs is provided. A soft keyboard comprising one or more soft keys and one or more gesture based inputs is provided.

Abstract: Embodiments of multi-screen pinch and expand gestures are described. In various embodiments, a first input is recognized at a first screen of a multi-screen system, and the first input includes a first motion input. A second input is recognized at a second screen of the multi-screen system, and the second input includes a second motion input. A pinch gesture or an expand gesture can then be determined from the first and second motion inputs that are associated with the recognized first and second inputs.

Abstract: Embodiments of a multi-screen hold and drag gesture are described. In various embodiments, a hold input is recognized at a first screen of a multi-screen system when the hold input is held in place.
