Abstract

An electronic device provides, to a display, data to present a user interface with a plurality of user interface objects, and a current focus is on a first user interface object. The device receives an input corresponding to movement of a contact across a touch-sensitive surface. The movement includes first and second components each corresponding to first and second axes on the display. The device moves the current focus, along the first and second axes by amounts based on magnitudes of the first and second components. The amount of movement of the current focus along a non-dominant axis is reduced relative to the amount of movement of the current focus along a dominant axis by a scaling factor that is based on a rate of movement of the contact.
