Abstract:
An electronic device with a touch-sensitive display and one or more sensors to detect signals from a stylus associated with the device: displays a user interface on the touch-sensitive display; while displaying the user interface on the touch-sensitive display, detects the stylus moving towards the touch-sensitive display, without the stylus making contact with the touch-sensitive display; determines whether the detected stylus movement towards the touch-sensitive display satisfies one or more stylus movement criteria; in accordance with a determination that the detected stylus movement satisfies the one or more stylus movement criteria, displays a menu overlaid on the user interface, the menu including a plurality of selectable menu options; detects selection of a first menu option in the plurality of selectable menu options; and, in response to detecting selection of the first menu option: performs an operation that corresponds to the first menu option, and ceases to display the menu.
