Devices, methods, and user interfaces for interacting with a position indicator within displayed text via proximity-based inputs

An electronic device, comprising:

• a display;
• a touch-sensitive surface;
• one or more processors;
• memory;
• and
• one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
• displaying a position indicator within text on the display while an input object above the touch-sensitive surface meets hover criteria, wherein the text is located at a first position on the display;
• while the position indicator is displayed within the text on the display, detecting a first movement of the input object that includes a component of movement parallel to the touch-sensitive surface, wherein the input object continues to meet the hover criteria during the first movement;
• in response to detecting the first movement of the input object over the touch-sensitive surface:
• moving the position indicator within the displayed text in accordance with the first movement of the input object;
• and
• maintaining display of the text on the display at the first position during the moving of the position indicator within the displayed text;
• after moving the position indicator within the displayed text in accordance with the first movement of the input object, detecting a second movement of the input object that includes a component of movement parallel to the touch-sensitive surface;
• and,
• in response to detecting the second movement of the input object across the touch-sensitive surface:
• in accordance with a determination that the second movement of the input object is detected while the input object is in contact with the touch-sensitive surface, selecting text in accordance with the second movement of the input object across the touch-sensitive surface while the input object remains in contact with the touch-sensitive surface.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions that, when executed by an electronic device with a touch-sensitive surface and a display, cause the device to:

• display a position indicator within text on the display while an input object above the touch-sensitive surface meets hover criteria, wherein the text is located at a first position on the display;
• while the position indicator is displayed within the text on the display, detect a first movement of the input object that includes a component of movement parallel to the touch-sensitive surface, wherein the input object continues to meet the hover criteria during the first movement;
• in response to detecting the first movement of the input object over the touch-sensitive surface:
• move the position indicator within the displayed text in accordance with the first movement of the input object;
• and
• maintain display of the text on the display at the first position during the moving of the position indicator within the displayed text;
• after moving the position indicator within the displayed text in accordance with the first movement of the input object, detect a second movement of the input object that includes a component of movement parallel to the touch-sensitive surface;
• and,
• in response to detecting the second movement of the input object across the touch-sensitive surface:
• in accordance with a determination that the second movement of the input object is detected while the input object is in contact with the touch-sensitive surface, select text in accordance with the second movement of the input object across the touch-sensitive surface while the input object remains in contact with the touch-sensitive surface.
