Abstract

A method for facilitating editing of a toggle item includes displaying an interface comprising one or more toggle items, each toggle item being configured to be toggled on and off when clicked on; receiving input corresponding to movement of a pointer to be disposed over a first toggle item of the one or more toggle items; determining that a predetermined amount of time has passed with the pointer being disposed over the first toggle item; displaying a cursor in the first toggle item at the location of the pointer; receiving input corresponding to a click while the cursor is displayed in the first toggle item; receiving input corresponding to editing of the first toggle item; and updating, based on the input corresponding to editing of the toggle item, the text of the toggle item.
