Abstract
A method includes, at a computing device with a touch-sensitive display: displaying a user interface object on the touch-sensitive display; detecting a contact on the user interface object; while continuing to detect the contact on the user interface object: detecting an M-finger gesture, distinct from the contact, in a first direction on the touch-sensitive display, where M is an integer; and, in response to detecting the M-finger gesture, translating the user interface object a predefined number of pixels in a direction in accordance with the first direction.
