In one example, a method for modifying input with a dial includes creating a queue of input actions corresponding to one or more atomic operations for an application. The method can also include detecting a dial action from a dial, the dial action indicating a reversal operation for removing at least one input action from the queue of input actions or an addition operation for adding at least one input action to the queue of input actions. Furthermore, the method can include generating an intermediate representation of the one or more atomic operations based on the dial action from the dial.
