Abstract
An electronic device with a display and touch-sensitive surface displays a plurality of user interface objects. The device enables multiple objects to be selected by a user, in succession, with a single gesture that remains in contact with the touch-sensitive surface, moving from object to object of the plurality of user interface objects, with separate press inputs for selecting each additional object while maintaining selection of objects previously selected using the same gesture.
