Abstract: A web application provides a custom selection for editing text on a gesture or touch screen. The application replaces native browser handles with selection handles to provide consistent user interface experience across platforms. The application also provides a scheme for semantic interpretation of browser gesture or touch events. The application standardizes browser events into a consistent stream of semantic events that are compatible with a plurality of devices and browsers. The application also provides a gesture or touch optimized user interface in the browser. The application determines gesture or touch input and optimizes the user interface according to the type of input.

Abstract: Stateful editing of rich content in an electronic document using a text box, may be provided. Multiple inputs may be received in a text box for updating the rich content. The rich content may include both text content and non-text content displayed in the electronic document. An update may be determined for applying to the rich content based on the multiple inputs in the text box. The update may then be applied to the rich content.

Abstract: Technologies are generally described for providing a scrollable context menu for interacting with content displayed on a user interface. The scrollable context menu may include a base set of commands available for execution on selected textual and other content. A user may scroll the menu to display a carousel of additional available options employing traditional input such as mouse and stylus input and employing touch and gesture based interaction. The scrollable context menu may present visual cues to indicate that additional options are available. Each command in the base set of commands displayed on the scrollable context menu may be a command commonly used by a user and associated with a user profile unique to the user. The user profile may be saved such that commonly used commands may be preserved and displayed each time the scrollable context menu is presented to the user from any application or device.

Abstract: An improved dynamic user interface is provided. According to a type of input detected, an application UI may be optimized to the type of input. Optimization may include arrangement of functionality controls, as well as interaction models of UI elements to provide a better user experience depending on a type of input mechanism being used. If touch input is used, the functionality controls in a touch-optimized UI may be spaced farther apart, hit target areas may be larger, and behavior of the functionality controls may be optimized for touch input. If a user switches between touch and precision modes (e.g., the user uses a finger tap and a mouse), a precision UI may be presented, where functionality controls may be more compactly arranged and may utilize features specific to a mouse, pen/stylus, or other type of precision input device.
