Is it applied to pointing device only? Or also keyboard interfaces? Or any other movement? > > Proposed Change: > "path" can be translated to wider range of meaning. Need clarification. > > ================================ Response from the Working Group ================================ PATH means the "path taken by the users movement". With pointing devices, the path you take to a button does not change the result if you press the button. However, if you are drawing a freehand line, you get a much different shape depending on the path of your movement. Same for a watercolor painting on your computer.
