Abstract: In some implementations a computing device may comprise a first and a second display device. A zone may be defined on the first display device. The computing device may receive selection input selecting an object and receive directional input to move the object on the first display device. After determining that a location of the object is within a predetermined distance from (or within) a boundary of the zone, a message indicating an action associated with the zone may be displayed. After determining that at least a portion of the object is within the boundary of the zone, the action may be performed. The action may include moving the object to the second display device, opening (e.g., maximizing) a window associated with the object to span both the first and second display device, or storing the object in the zone for subsequent retrieval on the second display device.

Abstract: In some examples, a computing device may include a first and a second touchscreen display device. A first document may be displayed on the first touchscreen and a second document may be displayed on the second touchscreen. A stylus may be used to select and copy content from the first document to a clipboard application. After receiving a preview command, the computing device may determine a first location of a tip of the stylus and display a preview of the content near the first location. The computing device may determine that the tip of the stylus has moved from the first location to a second location and move the preview of the content to be near the second location. After receiving a paste instruction from the stylus, the computing device may paste the content near the second location.
