Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide a system, method, and computer-readable medium for identifying a command in response to receiving notice of a pointer selection event followed by an associated pointer activation event. Also, the present invention layers Web browsing in a system where a Web page is first displayed in an overview mode at a predetermined magnification. From a Web page displayed in overview mode, the user may issue adaptive viewing commands that cause relevant content to be displayed using additional screen space. The adaptive viewing commands are identified based on the direction the pointer was moved when the pointer selection event occurred.
