More Information
Summary:A compact control menu is provided over an interactive touch interface where a user may interact with a touch-enabled device to execute commands. The compact control menu may be provided after a user makes a touch selection in a document to aid in the user's ability to execute common control commands quickly and in the context of the selection. The compact control menu may initially appear in a collapsed state displaying a limited number of commands, and may allow the user to swipe in a direction for executing a command. The compact control menu may be expanded to display more command options upon a trigger to expand initiated by a particular user touch motion on the touch interface. The user may execute a command from the expanded command menu, and after command execution the compact control menu may disappear until a further user selection within a document.
