Abstract
An electronic device with one or more processors and memory detects a button press of a respective button of a plurality of buttons that include a first button that corresponds to a first type of operation and a second button that corresponds to a second type of operation. The device determines, in conjunction with detecting the button press, a rolling gesture metric corresponding to performance of a rolling gesture comprising rotation about a longitudinal axis of the electronic device. After determining the rolling gesture metric, when the respective button is the first button, the device initiates performance, in a respective user interface, of an operation of the first type in accordance with the rolling gesture metric and when the respective button is the second button, the device initiates performance, in the respective user interface, of an operation of the second type in accordance with the rolling gesture metric.
