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, wherein during the position control mode, motion of an operation is presented by a display; 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; entering the motion continuation mode upon the detection of the liftoff of the one or more fingers; and continuing the motion of the operation being presented by the display during the position control mode in a direction of movement of the two or more fingers detected during the liftoff of the one or more fingers when the motion continuation mode is entered; wherein once the motion continuation mode is entered, the motion of the operation being presented by the display during the position control mode is continued regardless of a position of the at least one finger remaining in contact with the sensor panel.
