Abstract
Traversal of selections within a productivity application is described. When a user indicates a traversal signal, an ordered list of user selections is searched for a next selection entry in the ordered list. Object information from the next selection entry is obtained, wherein the object information describes a position and content of an object in a user interface of the productivity application. Using this object information, a current selection in the user interface is changed to the object corresponding to the next selection entry without changing the order of the list. Any action other than simple traversal taken by the user on an object will change the content and order of the list.
