This application is directed towards continuity of applications across multiple devices. For example, a device detects an external device, wherein the external device is executing a first application. The electronic device also detects a key press of a first key of the keyboard simultaneously with a key press of a second key of the keyboard. In response to the simultaneous key presses: the electronic device displays a plurality of affordances comprising: affordances identifying a plurality of active applications on the electronic device, and an affordance for launching the second application corresponding to the first application. The electronic device detects a sequence of keyboard input including (i) at least one additional key press of the second key (ii) while holding the first key (iii) followed by a release of both the first key and the second key. In response to sequence of keyboard input, the electronic device launches the second application.
An electronic device coupled to a keyboard, the electronic device comprising:
