Multimodal scrolling system

Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for providing gesture-based multimodal scrolling in a computer user interface. One method includes an operation for causing presentation of a user interface (UI) that presents a list of items. The UI provides a first and a second mode for scrolling through the list. The first mode scrolls through the list of items at a first speed and the second mode scrolls at a second speed, different from the first speed. The method further includes an operation for scrolling in the first mode in response to detecting a first gesture associated with the first mode, while scrolling in the first mode, causing presentation of an option in the UI to change the scrolling speed by switching to the second mode. Further, the method includes scrolling in the second mode in response to detecting a second gesture associated with the second mode.
