Abstract

A user interface of an electronic content rendering device implements input assistance to enhance user experience when browsing linked content. As a touch input moves along a trajectory, an input assistance application provides enhanced fields associated with various navigation elements as the touch input draws toward the navigation elements. Responsive to detecting deceleration of the touch input within a threshold distance of a navigation element, the input assistance application enhances the associated field.
