Methods and graphical user interfaces for editing on a multifunction device with a touch screen display

Abstract

In some embodiments, a device displays content on a touch screen display and detects input by finger gestures. In response to the finger gestures, the device selects content, visually distinguishes the selected content, and/or updates the selected content based on detected input. In some embodiments, the device displays a command display area that includes one or more command icons; detects activation of a command icon in the command display area; and, in response to detecting activation of the command icon in the command display area, performs a corresponding action with respect to the selected content. Exemplary actions include cutting, copying, and pasting content.

1 . (canceled) 
     
     
         2 . An electronic device, comprising:
 a touch-sensitive display;   one or more processors;   memory; and   one or more programs stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
 while displaying, on the touch-sensitive display, a first user interface including content, receiving a first user input corresponding to selection of a portion of the content; 
 in response to detecting the first user input, displaying, on the touch-sensitive display, a command display area on the first user interface, wherein the command display area includes a search user-interface object; 
 while displaying the command display area on the first user interface, receiving a second user input corresponding to selection of the search user-interface object; and 
 in response to receiving the second user input:
 ceasing to display the first user interface; and 
 displaying, on the touch-sensitive display, a second user interface including search results corresponding to a search that uses the portion of the content as search input. 
 
   
     
     
         3 . The electronic device of  claim 2 , wherein the search results correspond to an Internet search that uses the portion of the content as the search input. 
     
     
         4 . The electronic device of  claim 2 , wherein the search results correspond to an information search for information on the electronic device that uses the portion of the content as the search input. 
     
     
         5 . The electronic device of  claim 2 , wherein the second user input comprises a voice gesture identifying the search-user interface object. 
     
     
         6 . The electronic device of  claim 2 , wherein the second user input comprises a tap gesture on the search user-interface object. 
     
     
         7 . The electronic device of  claim 2 , wherein the command display area comprises a plurality of command user-interface objects, and wherein the plurality of command user-interface objects includes the search user-interface object. 
     
     
         8 . The electronic device of  claim 7 , wherein the plurality of command user-interface objects includes at least one of a copy user-interface object, a paste user-interface object, and a cut user-interface object. 
     
     
         9 . The electronic device of  claim 7 , wherein the plurality of command user-interface objects is displayed in a single row. 
     
     
         10 . The electronic device of  claim 2 , wherein the first user input comprises a double tap gesture on the portion of the content. 
     
     
         11 . The electronic device of  claim 2 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
 in response to detecting the first user input, displaying a start point object at a first end of the portion of the content and an end point object at a second end of the portion of the content.   
     
     
         12 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of an electronic device with a touch-sensitive display, the one or more programs including instructions for:
 while displaying, on the touch-sensitive display, a first user interface including content, receiving a first user input corresponding to selection of a portion of the content;   in response to detecting the first user input, displaying, on the touch-sensitive display, a command display area on the first user interface, wherein the command display area includes a search user-interface object;   while displaying the command display area on the first user interface, receiving a second user input corresponding to selection of the search user-interface object; and   in response to receiving the second user input:
 ceasing to display the first user interface; and 
 displaying, on the touch-sensitive display, a second user interface including search results corresponding to a search that uses the portion of the content as search input. 
   
     
     
         13 . A method, comprising:
 at an electronic device including a touch-sensitive display:
 while displaying, on the touch-sensitive display, a first user interface including content, receiving a first user input corresponding to selection of a portion of the content; 
 in response to detecting the first user input, displaying, on the touch-sensitive display, a command display area on the first user interface, wherein the command display area includes a search user-interface object; 
 while displaying the command display area on the first user interface, receiving a second user input corresponding to selection of the search user-interface object; and 
 in response to receiving the second user input:
 ceasing to display the first user interface; and 
 displaying, on the touch-sensitive display, a second user interface including search results corresponding to a search that uses the portion of the content as search input.
