1. A method of adapting user touches on a touch sensitive surface for performing operations on a computing device, the method comprising: detecting a first touch action, said detecting comprising identifying a first set of distinct touches involved in the first touch action and a location for each of the distinct touches; selecting a set of operations from a plurality of operations when the first set of distinct touches comprises at least two distinct touches and when each touch of the first set of distinct touches is issued as a tap or directional flick; detecting a second touch action, said detecting comprising identifying a second set of distinct touches involved in the second touch action and a location for each of the distinct touches; corresponding each distinct touch of the second touch action to controls defined for a different finger based on a mapping of each touch of the first touch action to one of an index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger and further based on a location of each distinct touch of the second touch action to a distinct touch of the first touch action; and performing an operation from the set of operations based on which of the index, middle, ring, and little fingers each distinct touch of the second set of distinct touches corresponds to and a number of touches of the second touch action.
