    Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology relate to providing a virtual joystick on a touch-sensitive screen. The virtual joystick is associated with an area on the touch-sensitive screen and may be provided for display along with a virtual keyboard. A touch input may be detected on the touch-sensitive screen. A determination may be made as to whether at least a portion of the touch input is within the area on the touch-sensitive screen associated with the virtual joystick. An action associated with a text cursor may be performed based on the touch input.

    Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology relate to scaling an application window. A method includes determining a first window size for an application, and instructing the application to render at the first window size. The method also includes determining a second window size for the application, scaling the first window size to the second window size based on a scale value, and displaying the scaled application at the second window size. The scaling allows a full-screen view of the application to be displayed on a smaller window, or allows shrinking the application window to a size below a normal minimum window size. Inputs to the scaled window are also scaled so that the application continues to behave as if rendered at the first window size.
