Abstract
In general, this disclosure describes techniques for providing a user of a computing device (e.g., a mobile device) with the ability to utilize drawn gestures to operate objects displayed on a user interface of the computing device. Specifically, the techniques of this disclosure may, in some examples, include receiving user input comprising a gesture that defines an attribute associated with one or more target elements displayed in the user interface and graphically highlighting the one or more target elements in the user interface. The user may then utilize the drawn gesture to operate the highlighted target element by interacting with the defined selection area.
