1. A roof console for a vehicle having at least one touch-slide operating element which is configured for controlling at least one functional element of the vehicle; wherein
the at least one touch-slide operating element is configured such that a swiping movement over a defined length and a resting of a finger on the at least one touch-slide operating element after the swiping movement triggers an opening or closing movement of the at least one functional element of the vehicle, which lasts until the finger is removed from the at least one touch-slide operating element; and
wherein the at least one touch-slide operating element is configured to control a sliding/tilting roof such that tapping in a first of multiple edge regions of the at least one touch-slide operating element causes a movement in a direction provided by the first edge region.
