1. A method comprising:
- displaying information on a touch-sensitive display of an electronic device;
displaying a first control, wherein a touch associated with the first control results in moving an indicator through the information by a single character in a first direction and a first gesture including a swipe across the first control results in moving the indicator through the information by multiple characters in the first direction, wherein the first control does not move with movement of the indicator;
displaying a second control, wherein a touch associated with the second control results in moving the indicator through the information by a single character in a second direction opposite the first direction and a second gesture including a swipe across the second control results in moving the indicator through the information by multiple characters in the second direction, wherein the second control does not move with movement of the indicator, wherein display of the first control and display of the second control overlap at least partially in time;
detecting a hold touch on the first control;
detecting a release touch on the second control;
determining the hold touch and the release touch overlap at least partially in time; and
in response to the overlap, displaying an editing menu including selectable options, wherein the selectable options include at least copy and paste.
