Abstract
A method of receiving user input includes operating a software program in a first operating mode and modifying a graphical interface of the software program in response to receiving gesture. The method also includes receiving a haptic input and operating the software program in a second operating mode in response to the haptic input. In the second operating mode, the gesture produces a different modification to the graphical interface than in the first operating mode.
