Methods of providing user accessibility to an electronic device are provided. Methods include receiving a physical input via at least one user input device in a user interface, generating, in the user interface, a sensor output signal responsive to receiving the physical input from the user, and interpreting the sensor output signal as a gesture input signal that that is received by the electronic device. The gesture input signal is operative to cause the electronic device to perform a function corresponding to a gesture that is physically applied to the electronic device.
