1. A method of providing a display control mechanism for information in a computing device, comprising: displaying a document in a display area on a display screen of said computing device; displaying a cursor in said display area of said display screen, wherein a movement of said cursor in said display area is controlled to coincide with a movement detected by an input device, said cursor capable of being activated for panning tool behavior when said cursor is located on the document; scrolling the document after the cursor is activated for panning tool behavior on the document, the scrolling of the document being in tandem with the movement of said activated cursor in the display area that coincides with the movement detected by the input device; determining a speed, a strength, or a combination thereof associated with the movement detected by the input device; and continuing the scrolling of the document for a particular distance after the movement detected by the input device ends, wherein the particular distance is a percentage of a length of the document, wherein the percentage is determined based on the speed, the strength, or the combination thereof that is associated with the movement detected by the input device, and wherein the continued scrolling of the document is caused to stop upon reaching the particular distance.
