Abstract
A device includes a display having touch sensitive display surface that is responsive to pen-based user input, and a control unit that is bidirectionally coupled to the display. The control unit is responsive to a user selecting displayed text from a first display location using the pen, and is further responsive to a first signal generated using the pen, to copy the selected displayed text to a buffer associated with a text window and to display the copied text in the text window. The control unit is further responsive to the user selecting a second display location using the pen, and to a second signal, to copy the displayed text from the text window to the second display location, thereby implementing a copy and paste function. A cut and paste function may also be implemented.
