A computing device detects a press of a global shortcut key simultaneously with a first press and release of a modifier key. In response thereto, an operation is initiated in a non-default display region. The operation might be displaying a user interface element in the non-default display region. The computing device can also detect a second press and release of the modifier key simultaneously with the press of the global shortcut key. In response thereto, the operation can be initiated in a second display region, such as a default display region. The second press and release of the modifier key can be detected within a predetermined period of time following the detection of the first press and release of the modifier key. The operation might be simultaneously initiated in multiple display regions, such as sharing a region that encompasses the non-default display region and one or more other display regions.
