Abstract

A single user interface (UI) handle element is displayed in response to a selection of content. For example, in response to selecting a piece of content (e.g. cell, word, item . . . ), the single UI handle element is displayed near the selection of the content (e.g. near a corner of the selected content). The display of the single UI handle element assists in keeping the display uncluttered as opposed to initially displaying more user interface elements with a content selection. In response to an indication to expand the selection, one or more additional UI handle elements may be displayed to assist the user in changing the selection of content (e.g. an additional handle displayed near another corner of the selection).
