  • Publication number: 20190146642
    Abstract: Non-limiting examples of the present disclosure describe functionality for content selection that efficiently enables block copying of content from an executing application even when content is traditionally non-selectable in the executing application. An application may be executing, for example, on a computing device. Input may be received that triggers activation of a user interface for content selection. A layered view of the application and the user interface may be presented based on the received input. As an example, the layered view presents the user interface layered over the application. A block portion of content from the application may be selected based on a single action. Among other examples, the single action may be a non-continuous device click or a non-continuous touch input processed through the user interface. Additional action(s) for the selected block portion of content may be accessible through the user interface.

  • Publication number: 20170102870
    Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods associated with a multi-window soft input keyboard application. A multi-window soft input keyboard application is displayed. The soft input keyboard application is used to provide application command control for one or more applications. The soft input keyboard application may comprise a first application window that displays two or more user interface elements for services of the soft input keyboard application. In examples, the first application window displays/updates based on the detected foreground application. The user interface elements are usable for application command control of the detected foreground application. An exemplary soft input keyboard application may further comprise a second application window that displays a soft input keyboard. Display of the second application window may update including replacing display of the soft input keyboard based on selection of a user interface element of the first application window.
