Abstract

A method for improving the productivity and useability of a graphical user interface by employing various methods to switch between different cursors which perform different types of functions (12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22). The invention exploits the absolute and relative positioning capabilities of certain types of pointing devices to improve the productivity and useability of various types of graphical user interfaces. The invention provides a method for using a gesture, motion or initial position with a pointing device to select a function, followed by a subsequent motion which is used to select a value.
