Abstract:Text selection relying on adjustment handles is a frequently used method on touchscreen mobile devices. However, this method suffers from limitations such as slow and unconformable interactions when dragging handles and being inadequate to select non-adjacent text for editing together. To address these limitations, this study proposes Text Pin, a novel technique that specifies the two ends of intended text by finger tapping rather than finger dragging. We designed mode-augmented handles to enable such operation. Experimental results show Text Pin was faster than default handle-based techniques on Android while maintaining comparable selection accuracy. © 2019 Copyright held by the owner/author(s).
