Abstract
An input mode trigger is detected so that a computing system treats inputs from a touch sensing device as touch inputs. A focus area input mechanism is displayed on the display screen. A hover mode touch input is detected, and a touch input on the touch sensing device is mirrored by corresponding movement of visual indicia on the focus area input mechanism on the display screen. Other touch gestures are used to perform operations within the focus area input mechanism.
