Abstract
In one implementation, a method of activating a user interface element is performed at a device including an input device, a display, one or more processors, and non-transitory memory. The method includes displaying, on the display, a plurality of user interface elements and receiving, via the input device, a user input including a gesture, the gesture having a first phase and a second phase separated by an amount of time. The method includes, in response to receiving the user input, determining whether to activate a first user interface element in a first mode based on a determination that the amount of time is within a threshold amount of time. The method includes, based on a determination to activate the first user interface element in the first mode, displaying the content in the first content pane by updating the first content pane.
