A method includes providing for display at a user device associated with a user a graphical user interface (GUI) of an electronic document editor application of an electronic document system. The GUI includes a document view to display at least a portion of an electronic document that is editable by the user of a first users and a search region to receive one or more search terms. The method includes receiving an indication of a user activation of the search region. Responsive to receiving the indication of the user activation of the search region, the method determines a subset of document operations, among multiple document operations, based on one or more criteria. The method provides, to the user device, an indication of the subset of document operations for display at the GUI as commands for user selection.

Search-based document user interfaces

A computer system having one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs for execution by the one or more processors is described. The computer system displays at least a portion of the respective document, and while displaying at least the portion of the respective document, receives a request for document operation labels. The document operation labels correspond to respective document operations. In response to receiving the request for document operation labels, the computer system selects a plurality of document operation labels at least in accordance with user data and user-interface data corresponding to a respective user of the computer system, and provides the plurality of document operation labels for display to the respective user.

Methods and systems for searching document operation labels

A method performed at a computer system having one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs executed by the one or more processors is described. The method includes concurrently displaying at least a portion of a document and a document operation search region for receiving one or more search terms. The method also includes detecting user activation of the document operation search region, and in response to detecting the activation of the document operation search region, displaying a plurality of document operation labels that includes multiple document operation labels corresponding to popular document operations. Each document operation label corresponds to a respective document operation. The method furthermore includes detecting user selection of a respective document operation label of the plurality of document operation labels, and performing the respective document operation that corresponds to the respective document operation label.

This disclosure is directed to techniques for text entry/modification using a touch-sensitive device. In one example, the techniques include presenting, by a touch-sensitive device, a graphical keyboard. The graphical keyboard includes at least one character image that represents at least one text character and that is selectable by a user to input the at least one text character. User input may be detected that indicates user selection of at least one formatting option associated with text that is presentable by the touch-sensitive device. A presentation of the at least one character image may be modified to display an indication of the selected formatting option.
