utilize the at least one input device to receive first user input;
utilize the at least one processor to determine if the first user input is predetermined to cause menu display, and to determine if the first user input takes a form of a first input or a second input;
utilize the display to display a menu in a first location with respect to a location of the first window, if it is determined that the first user input takes the form of the first input and is predetermined to cause menu display, where the menu in the first location is outside the first window and includes a plurality of elements corresponding to the plurality of applications that are operating except the first application since the first window is already displayed;
utilize the display to display the menu in a second location with respect to the location of the first window, if it is determined that the first user input takes the form of the second input and is predetermined to cause menu display, where the menu in the second location is outside the first window and includes the plurality of elements corresponding to the plurality of applications that are operating except the first application since the first window is already displayed;
utilize the at least one input device to receive second user input for at least one of moving or re-sizing the first window of the first application;
utilize the display to at least one of move or re-size the first window of the first application, in response to the second user input;
utilize the display to at least one of move or re-size the elements of the menu, in response to the second user input;
utilize the at least one input device to receive third user input on one of the plurality of elements of the menu corresponding to the second application; and
utilize the display to display a second window of the second application of the plurality of applications, in response to the third user input.

Abstract
Methods and systems are described for navigating between visual components. A first visual component, of a first application in a plurality of applications, is detected in a first application region of a presentation space of a display device. A first navigation area is presented, in a first navigation region determined based on the first application region, for navigating to a second visual component, of a second application in the plurality, in a second application region in the presentation space. A user input corresponding to the first navigation area is detected. In response to the detected user input, navigation information is sent to navigate to the second visual component.
