Abstract
A method, comprising: at a computing device with a touch-sensitive display: displaying a control icon; displaying an item preselection mark at a position of an item in a list of items; detecting a contact on the touch-sensitive display; and—in response to detecting a change in a position of the contact beginning anywhere on the control icon, changing in a number of discrete steps the position of the item preselection mark in the list of items; detecting a gesture on the touch-sensitive display; and in response to detecting a selection gesture on the control icon, selecting an item at a position of the item preselection mark in the list of items.

A method, comprising:
- at a computing device with a touch-sensitive display:
- displaying a control icon;
- displaying an item preselection mark at a position of an item in a list of items;
- detecting a contact on the touch-sensitive display;
- and
- in response to detecting a change in a position of the contact beginning anywhere on the control icon, changing in a number of discrete steps the position of the item preselection mark in the list of items;
- detecting a gesture on the touch-sensitive display;
- and
- in response to detecting a selection gesture on the control icon, selecting an item at a position of the item preselection mark in the list of items.
A graphical user interface on a computing device comprising a touch-sensitive display wherein:
- a control icon is displayed;
- an item preselection mark is displayed at a position of an item in a list of items;
- a contact on the touch-sensitive display is detected;
- and
- in response to detecting a change in a position of the contact beginning anywhere on the control icon, the position of the item preselection mark in the list of items is changed in a number of discrete steps;
- a gesture on the touch-sensitive display is detected;
- and
