Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system, method and product of a functionally enhanced user navigation to compliment (but not necessarily replace) a computer keyboard and a mouse. SOLUTION: This system includes: a minimally necessary group of commands; combining the functionality of a set of at least two command calls into a single logical button; for a single button, prioritizing a set of command calls from the highest priority order to the lowest priority order, and then calling each command until one command is accepted; logically re-mapping commands to buttons for a navigational device coupled to a physically rotatable display device; and arranging a substitute command to a logical button when the button is used in a prescribed manner other than the primary manner in which the logical button is engaged (for example, double-clicking, flicking, press-and-hold) so that particularly a substitute command can be in fact issued.
