Abstract
Technologies are disclosed herein that enable a foldable computing device having multiple screen regions to perform an inter-region user interface (UI) operation in response to an intra-region UI gesture. For example, a UI gesture that begins and ends within a first region may be used to move a window from the first region to the second region. The disclosed technologies address the technical problems described above by providing succinct, accurate UI gestures that cause foldable computing devices to perform inter-region UI operations. The disclosed technologies further address the technical problems described above by combining different types of UI gestures to increase gesture accuracy and expressiveness of inter-region UI operations.
