Text indicator method and electronic device

A method comprising:

• displaying text on a touch-sensitive display;
• displaying a text indicator at a first position within the text;
• detecting a touch at a first location associated with the text indicator;
• detecting a touch location at a second location associated with the text indicator;
• when a horizontal distance between the first location and the second location meets a horizontal threshold, moving the indicator horizontally to a second position within the text;
• when a vertical distance between the first location and the second location meets a vertical threshold, moving the indicator vertically to a third position within the text.

A method comprising:

• displaying text on a touch-sensitive display;
• displaying a text indicator at an initial position within the text;
• displaying a handle that is associated with the text indicator;
• detecting a touch associated with the handle;
• moving the display of the handle on the touch-sensitive display in coordination with movement of the touch;
• detecting when movement of the touch in a first direction meets a first threshold and moving display of the text indicator in the first direction to a first position within the text;
• detecting when movement of the touch in a second direction meets a second threshold and moving display of the text indicator in the second direction to a second position within the text.

A method comprising:

• displaying text on a touch-sensitive display;
• displaying a text indicator at an initial position within the text;
• displaying a handle that is associated with the text indicator;
• detecting a touch associated with the handle;
• moving the display of the handle on the touch-sensitive display in coordination with movement of the touch;
• detecting movement of the touch and moving display of the text indicator in coordination with movement of the touch at least along part of a path of the touch, wherein the distance between the text indicator and the handle varies along a path of the touch.
