1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions that cause a processor to perform a method for facilitating content entry into a content accumulator at a location of an insertion cursor by:

  • storing one or more active cursor positions,wherein each active cursor position marks a location where a user previously ended content entry;

    in response to content entry by a user at a first location where the user did not previously end content entry, creating a new active cursor position marking a new location at the end of the entered user content;

    in response to content entry by a user at a second location where the user previously ended content entry, relocating a stored active cursor position from marking the second location to marking an updated location at the end of the entered user content;

    in response to receiving an indication to move the insertion cursor to a different location in the content accumulator, moving the insertion cursor to the indicated location without creating or relocating an active cursor;

    in response to receiving a command to replace a content element near the insertion cursor with an alternate content element, modifying the content accumulator accordingly without creating or relocating an active cursor;

    in response to receiving a command to relocate the insertion cursor to a stored location of a previously created active cursor, moving the insertion cursor to a location of a previously created active cursor; and

    in response to receiving user input, delete a stored active cursor, such that the number of stored active cursors is decreased.
