Modeless

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Modelessness is a property of computer user interfaces. In a modeless interface, the same input from the user will always trigger the same perceived action. This is opposed to a modal interface, where the action perceived to have been executed is dependent on the current state of the system.

The purpose of modeless interfaces is to avoid mode errors by making it impossible for the user to commit them.
