GESTURE-BASED ACCESS TO A MIX VIEW

Techniques for gesture-based access to a mixed view associated with an application representation are described. In one or more implementations, a user interface is exposed by an operating system of a computing device. The user interface includes a concurrent display of a plurality of representations of applications that are selectable by a user to launch respective applications. Gesture-based techniques can be used to interact with an application representation to cause one or more visible targets to appear adjacent the representation. The individual targets are individually associated with some type of application functionality, e.g., a quick action or a deep link into content associated with the application. An individual target can then be selected, e.g., touch-selected, by a user to initiate the associated functionality.
