Claim 0:
1. A sensor system, comprising:
a first magnet arranged such that a position of the first magnet corresponds to a position of a trigger element on a linear trajectory;
a second magnet arranged such that a position of the second magnet corresponds to a selected position of a selection element, the selected position being one of a plurality of selectable positions; and
a magnetic sensor to:
detect a strength of a first magnetic field component, a strength of a second magnetic field component, and a strength of a third magnetic field component,
wherein the first magnetic field component, the second magnetic field component, and the third magnetic field component are perpendicular to each other,

determine the position of the trigger element based on the strength of the first magnetic field component and the strength of the second magnetic field component, and
determine the selected position of the selection element based on the strength of the third magnetic field component.
