Abstract
Improved approaches are disclosed for efficiently navigating a cursor to an edit location within previously entered text so that the text can be edited. These improved approaches enable users to position a cursor within previously entered text more quickly and with greater ease than conventionally possible. These approaches are particularly well suited for small scale mobile devices having reduced size displays and limited keys such as mobile phones (e.g., cellular phones), two-way pagers, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), or other two-way mobile communication devices.
