Proximal menu generation

A method for generating proximal menus, comprising:

• detecting a location of a first touch gesture on a display device coupled to a system;
• generating a proximal menu to be displayed at the location of the first touch gesture in response to detecting the first touch gesture comprising a number of fingers contacting the display device;
• display a first tab of the proximal menu, the first tab corresponding to an operating system feature;
• in response to detecting a second touch gesture comprising a different number of fingers contacting the display device, replacing the first tab with a second tab of the proximal menu, the second tab corresponding to an application window feature of an executed application, wherein the application window feature comprises a command menu of a displayed application window of the executed application that is copied from the displayed application window and pulled into the proximal menu;
• and
• in response to detecting a third gesture comprising a different number of fingers than the first gesture or the second gesture, replacing the second tab with a third tab corresponding to an application window feature of a second executed application.

One or more computer-readable media storage devices for generating proximal menus, wherein the one or more computer-readable media storage devices comprise a plurality of instructions that, in response to execution by a processor, cause the processor to:

• detect a location of a first touch gesture on a display device coupled to a system;
• generate a proximal menu to be displayed at the location of the first touch gesture in response to detecting the first touch gesture comprising a number of fingers contacting the display device;
• display a first tab of the proximal menu, the first tab corresponding to an operating system feature;
• in response to detecting a second touch gesture comprising a different number of fingers contacting the display device, replace the first tab with a second tab of the proximal menu, the second tab corresponding to an application window feature of an executed application, wherein the application window feature comprises a command menu of a displayed application window of the executed application that is copied from the displayed application window and pulled into the proximal menu;
• and
• in response to detecting a third gesture comprising a different number of fingers than the first gesture or the second gesture, replace the second tab with a third tab corresponding to an application window feature of a second executed application.
