A dialog method for dialog between an operator of an aircraft and at least one system of the aircraft. The method includes the steps of displaying on a display at least one window including a plurality of responsive objects respectively associated with one of multiple functions of the at least one system of the aircraft, moving a cursor in a continuous manner on the display so as to designate a responsive object, and moving the cursor in a discrete manner on the display, responsive object by responsive object, so as to designate a responsive object.
