The method of controlling a display apparatus includes displaying a list including at least one item, in response to a long press command which presses a predetermined area of a remote controller to control the display apparatus for more than a predetermined period of time being input, entering into an editing mode in order to edit the list, and in response to a predetermined user command being input during the editing mode, editing the list according to the predetermined user command. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method of controlling a display apparatus, the method comprising: displaying a list including at least one item; entering into an editing mode to edit the list in response to a long press command which presses a predetermined area of a remote controller to control the display apparatus for more than a predetermined period of time being input; and editing the list according to the predetermined user command in response to a predetermined user command being input during the editing mode. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the entering into an editing mode comprises displaying an indicator which indicates that the display apparatus enters into an editing mode. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The method as claimed in claim 2, wherein the displaying an indicator comprises displaying the indicator on the highlighted item in response to the display apparatus entering into the editing mode while a highlight is displayed on one of the at least one item. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The method as claimed in claim 3, wherein the editing comprises moving the item where the indicator is displayed in a direction which corresponds to the selected key in response to one of four direction keys on the remote controller being selected while the indicator is displayed on one of the at least one item. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) The method as claimed in claim 3, wherein the editing comprises deleting the item where the indicator is displayed in response to a predetermined button on the remote controller being selected while the indicator is displayed on one of the at least one item. ### Claim 6 (depends on 3) The method as claimed in claim 3, wherein the editing comprises moving the item where the indicator is displayed to another list in response to a command to move an item is input where the indicator being displayed while the indicator is displayed on one of the at least one item. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the long press command is a command to press one area of a touch screen on the remote controller for more than a predetermined period of time in response to the remote controller comprising a touch screen. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method as claimed in claim 1, when the remote controller comprises a plurality of buttons, the long press command is a command to press one of a plurality of buttons on the remote controller for more than a predetermined period of time. ### Claim 9 A display apparatus, comprising: a display configured to display a list including at least one item; a remote controller configured to receive a user command; and a controller configured to enter into an editing mode to edit the list in response to a long press command which presses a predetermined area of a remote controller for more than a predetermined being input, and edit the list according to the predetermined user command in response to a predetermined user command being input through the remote controller during the editing mode. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The apparatus as claimed in claim 9, wherein the controller is configured to control the display in order to display an indicator which indicates that the display apparatus enters into an editing mode. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The apparatus as claimed in claim 10, wherein the controller is configured to control the display to display the indicator on the highlighted item in response to the display apparatus entering into the editing mode while a highlight is displayed on one of the at least one item. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The apparatus as claimed in claim 11, wherein in response to one of four direction keys on the remote controller being selected while the indicator is displayed on one of the at least one item, the controller is configured to control the display in order to move the item where the indicator is displayed in a direction which corresponds to the selected key. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The apparatus as claimed in claim 11, wherein the controller is configured to control the display in order to delete the item where the indicator is displayed in response to a predetermined button on the remote controller being selected while the indicator is displayed on one of the at least one item. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) The apparatus as claimed in claim 11, wherein the controller is configured to control the display in order to move the item from the location where the indicator is displayed to another list in response to a command to move an item where the indicator is displayed is input through the remote controller while the indicator is displayed on one of the at least one item. ### Claim 15 (depends on 9) The apparatus as claimed in claim 9, wherein the long press command is a command to press one area of a touch screen on the remote controller for more than a predetermined period of time in response to the remote controller comprises a touch screen. ### Claim 16 (depends on 9) The apparatus as claimed in claim 9, wherein the long press command is a command to press one of a plurality of buttons on the remote controller for more than a predetermined period of time in response to the remote controller comprising a plurality of buttons. ### Claim 17 A display apparatus, comprising: a display configured to display a list including at least one item; a remote controller configured to receive a user command; and a controller configured to enter into an editing mode in order to edit the displayed list in response to a long press command, wherein the controller is configured to control the display by displaying an indicator on a highlighted item in response to the display apparatus entering into the editing mode. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The display apparatus of claim 17, wherein the long press command is performed by a user pressing a predetermined area of a remote controller for more than a predetermined period of time. ### Claim 19 (depends on 17) The display apparatus of claim 17, wherein the controller is configured to edit the list according to the long press user command in response to a predetermined user command being input through the remote controller during the editing mode. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The display apparatus of claim 19, wherein in response to one of four direction keys on the remote controller being selected while an indicator is displayed on one of the at least one item, the controller is configured to control the display in order to move the item where the indicator is displayed in a direction which corresponds to the selected key.
