Abstract:
A first interaction indication is intercepted from a user interface to interact with a first portion of the user interface. The user interface currently displaying a thumbnail representative of an application window. It is determined from the user interface that the first interaction indication is directed towards the thumbnail representative of the application window. Transmission of the first interaction indication to the use interface is canceled. A thumbnail position of the first interaction indication is calculated. The calculation is based on a position of the first interaction indication before cancelation. The calculated thumbnail position of the first interaction indication is translated to an application position of the application window. A second interaction indication is generated. The second interaction indication is directed towards the application position of the application window. The second interaction indication is transmitted to the user interface such that the user interface directly interacts with the application window.
