1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying executable instructions which, when executed on a hardware processor of a user device, cause the hardware processor to implement operations comprising:
causing to be rendered on a display of the user device a graphical user interface for selecting an operation from a set of selectable operations;
detecting, by a hardware processor of the user device, a drag-and-release gesture on a touchscreen of the user device, the drag-and-release gesture comprising an initial drag action along the touchscreen in substantially a first direction, followed by a subsequent drag action along the touchscreen in substantially a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, followed by a release action;
responsive to the initial drag action, causing the graphical user interface to display a set of icons lying substantially parallel to the second direction, each operation of the set of selectable operations corresponding to an icon of the set of icons; and
responsive to the release action, triggering a selected operation of the set of selectable operations, the selected operation determined based on a location of the release action.
