Techniques for controlling an interface of a multi-input modality device are described. In an example, a device presents a menu on a display in a first input modality mode of the device. The menu includes graphical user interface (GUI) elements. The first input modality mode corresponds to a first type of input modality. The device receives first input corresponding to a second type of input modality. The device presents the menu on the display in a second input modality mode of the device that corresponds to the second type of input modality. The first input modality mode and the second input modality mode are exclusive to each other and each provide a different menu navigation control. The device changes a presentation of a visual indicator at a first location associated with a first GUI element of the GUI elements in the menu based on the second input modality mode.
