1. A method for converting from a position control mode to a motion continuation mode on a sensor panel to provide enhanced motion control capabilities, comprising: entering the position control mode upon detecting a touchdown of two or more fingers on the sensor panel; detecting a liftoff of one or more of the fingers from the sensor panel, with at least one of the fingers remaining in contact with the sensor panel, during movement of the two or more fingers along the sensor panel; and entering the motion continuation mode upon the detection of the liftoff of the one or more fingers.
