    Abstract: In general, this disclosure is directed to techniques for outputting, by a computing device and for display, a graphical user interface of an application currently executing at the computing device (582). A presence-sensitive input device detects two gestures (584, 588). The computing device determines whether the first gesture starts within a first target starting area of the presence-sensitive input device and terminates in a first target termination area (586), and whether the second gesture starts in a second target starting area of the presence-sensitive input device and terminates in a second target termination area (590). If the conditions are satisfied, the computing device determines whether an amount of time between termination of the first gesture and initiation of the second gesture satisfies a timeout threshold (592), ceasing the output of the graphical user interface when the timeout threshold is satisfied (594).
