Abstract: A method and system for re-marginating content displayed on a display screen of a computing device when upon receiving indication of an object superposed on the display screen content, a “handedness” preference of the reader/observer can be determined. In one embodiment, the content comprises display of one page in a series of digitally constructed pages. A keep out margin is calculated based on position of the object. Content is then re-flowed or line-wrapped about that keep out margin, to counteract any obscuration of displayed content. The line-wrapping of the content around the keep out margin is accomplished while maintaining a plurality of text attributes of the content. The line-wrapping forces reconstruction of a next one of the series of pages for display.

Furthermore, a delete key of the plurality of number keys and the function keys is applied in common to the calculation function and the telephone function.

Abstract: A computer processor receives a selection to create a duplicate cursor in addition to a default cursor. The computer processor determines a first position corresponding to a default cursor, and the computer processor stores information about the first position. The computer processor determines a second position in which to create the duplicate cursor, and the computer processor stores information about the second position. The computer processor receives data input for the first position corresponding to the default cursor. The computer processor recalls the information of the first position and the information of the second position, and the computer processor duplicates the data input, which is received, at the first position and at the second position.

Abstract: An electronic device displays a user interface that includes one or more user interface elements; detects a user input on a touch-sensitive surface that includes detecting a contact at a location that corresponds to a respective user interface element; and, in response: if the user input satisfies menu-display criteria, including a criterion that is satisfied when the contact has an intensity above a first intensity threshold, displays a first menu overlaid on the user interface; and, if the user input satisfies action criteria, wherein the action criteria are capable of being satisfied when the intensity of the contact is below the first intensity threshold, initiates performance of an action associated with the respective user interface element without displaying the first menu.
