    摘要: The present invention concerns a system and a method of choosing an item by a user out of a long list (1) of items appearing on a screen (2) displaying said list, wherein the user scrolls through said list by moving a cursor along said list, said cursor designating a focused item and moving automatically from said focused item to a following one at an auto-repeat rate defining an auto-repeat period, if an action on a next item key by the user is maintained. The auto-repeat rate is periodically slowed down on predetermined items, termed sticky items, in order to give additional time to the user to absorb visual feedback on said sticky items.
