ABSTRACT:
An element (e.g., a location pointer in a windowed graphical user interface) shown on a computer display is moved toward a target position. A user's input is recognized which identifies a subregion of the display in which the target position is located. The element is moved discontinuously to a location within the identified subregion. Then a next user's input is recognized which identifies a sub-subregion of the subregion of the display in which the target position is located. The element is moved discontinuously to a location within the identified sub-subregion. In another aspect, an element is dragged between two locations on a computer display. User commands are accepted which indicate the two locations. Then the element is dragged between them. The user commands identify a sequence of discontinuous jumps for moving the element to the indicated location.
