Abstract
A first device such as a portable or handheld electronic computing device can be configured to act as a text-entry device and a cursor control device for a second device. The first device can include a touch-sensitive display capable of receiving text inputs and cursor inputs for controlling the display of a second device which is communicatively coupled to the first device. The first device can be configured such that selection of certain items such as a text-entry field displayed by the second device can cause the first device to switch or change from a text-entry mode to a cursor control mode.
