1. A method comprising: recognizing a first touch input within a bounds of an object displayed by a display device as selecting the displayed object, where the selecting first touch input is a single touch input; recognizing a second touch input as movement from within the bounds of the selected object to outside the bounds of the selected object; identifying a copy gesture from the recognized first and second touch inputs and a velocity of the movement, the copy gesture effective to cause a display of a copy of the selected object to follow subsequent movement of a source of the second touch input while the selected object is displayed; canceling, in response to the second touch input moving from past a threshold distance to a distance less than the threshold distance, the identified copy gesture; and displaying, via the display device in response to not canceling the identified copy gesture, the copy of the selected object.
