| 1. In a computer system, a method of navigating within a set of data items, comprising:
displaying a user interface on a display device comprising a scale and an identifier of a current position along the scale,
wherein the scale corresponds to a range including at least a subset of the data items;
receiving user input indicating movement;
responsive to an indication of movement along a first axis or a second axis, controlling a position of a cursor on the display
device;
responsive to the indication of movement along the first axis, changing the scale, wherein the scale corresponds to a resolution
of the range, such that a change in the scale corresponds to a change in the resolution of the range, wherein changing the
scale comprises remapping the user input indicating movement along the first axis to control the change in the scale; and
responsive to the indication of movement along the second axis, changing the current position along the scale, wherein changing
the current position along the scale comprises remapping the user input indicating movement along the second axis to control
the change in the current position along the scale.
