A computer-implemented method for executing a default action on a touchscreen device is provided. The method includes receiving a touch input from a user on a touchscreen device and determining a context associated with the touch input. The context is associated with one or more actions including a default action. The method also includes determining that the received touch input comprises a default gesture, and performing the default action associated with the determined context. The default gesture may be a two-finger double-tap gesture. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.

Executing a default action on a touchscreen device

Certain implementations of the disclosed technology may include systems and methods for object selection on presence-sensitive devices. According to an example implementation, a method is provided for outputting, by a computing device and for display, a view containing a first selectable object and a second selectable object; initiating a gesture selection mode in response to receipt of a selection gesture; receiving respective indications of a swipe gesture sequence; outputting, for display, an indication that the first and second selectable objects are selected in response to determining that a first portion of the swipe gesture sequence encircled the first and second selectable objects; and outputting, for display, an indication that the first selectable object is selected and the second selectable object is unselected in response to determining that a second portion of the swipe gesture sequence encircled the first selectable object and did not encircle the second selectable object.

Methods and systems for managing open documents are disclosed. Document representations are displayed in a carousel display. Each of the representations displays a document viewport portion of content from a corresponding open document. Upon determining a first gesture associated with a selected representation, a full view of the document viewport portion of the open document corresponding to the selected representation is displayed. The content of the open document displayed in the document viewport portion may be adjusted based upon a user action in the open document. Upon determining a second gesture, the full view of the document viewport portion is closed and the adjusted content is displayed as the document viewport portion in the carousel display. A greater portion of the open document than what is visible in the document viewport portion is displayed.
