1. A method for indicating a gesture proximate to a touch-sensor, the method comprising: detecting a first presence of a conductive object proximate to said touch-sensor in one of a plurality of predefined regions of said touch-sensor, said first presence lasting a first duration of time; providing a gesture signal if said first duration of time is less than a first reference amount of time, wherein said gesture signal is of a first type if said first presence is in a first one of said plurality of predefined regions and wherein said gesture signal is of a second type different from said first type if said first presence is in a second one of said plurality of predefined regions
