Claim One:
1. A method, comprising: activating, by a computing device, a graphical key of a graphical keyboard, wherein the graphical key is associated with a touch-target and is displayed at a touch-based interface of the computing device, wherein the computing device controls a graphical selector displayed at the touch-based interface using input received at the touch-target, and wherein the graphical selector comprises one of a text cursor or a pointer; upon activation of the graphical key, receiving gesture input corresponding to a directional gesture at the touch-based interface of the computing device, wherein the directional gesture is a swipe motion originating at the touch target; and moving the graphical selector from a first graphical location at the touch-based interface to a second graphical location at the touch-based interface by at least one selected increment, wherein the at least one selected increment is at least partially based on a speed of the gesture input originating at the touch target, wherein the at least one selected increment comprises a first increment if the speed of movement of the gesture input is below a speed threshold, and wherein the at least one selected increment comprises a second increment larger than the first increment if the speed of the gesture input is above or equal to the speed threshold.
