Abstract
A method includes displaying a first item on an electronic device and detecting a gesture requesting display of a list. In response to detecting the gesture, a first plurality of representations of items in the list is displayed in a first area while displaying at least a part of the first item in a second area. A characteristic of the gesture that identifies a second item from the list is detected. In response to detecting the characteristic of the gesture, a representation of the second item is displayed as a focused item in the first area. In response to detecting discontinuation of the gesture, the second item is displayed and display of the list is discontinued.
