Abstract
Various embodiments for switching functionality of a graphical user interface (GUI) pointer input device are provided. A first gesture pattern is configured. The first gesture pattern, when performed, enables a predetermined function of the input device. The predetermined function substitutes for a default function of the input device. The enabling of the predetermined function is indicated to a user on the GUI. A second gesture pattern is configured. The second gesture pattern, when performed, cancels the predetermined function of the input device and enables the default function.
