1. A computer-assisted device comprising:
an input control;
a repositionable structure; and
a controller coupled to the input control and the repositionable structure;
wherein the controller is configured to:
detect motion of the input control for teleoperating the repositionable structure; and
in response to determining that the motion of the input control includes a component of motion used to change a mode of operation of the computer-assisted device, temporarily disable changes in the mode of operation of the computer-assisted device based on motion of the input control.
