The method comprises displaying a user interface and receiving, by the mobile device via the user interface, an initial tap on the mobile device by a user. Based on the initial tap, an anchor is invoked for repositioning a cursor, wherein the location of the anchor corresponds to a location of the cursor.

1. A method implemented in a mobile device for repositioning a cursor, comprising:
displaying a user interface; receiving, by the mobile device via the user interface, an initial tap on the mobile device by a user; based on the initial tap, invoking an anchor for repositioning a cursor, the anchor being displayed proximate the cursor and being movable with the cursor such that orientation and spacing of the anchor relative to the cursor is maintained to visually identify a current location of the cursor; receiving an additional tap within a predetermined time after the initial tap; based on a location of the additional tap being proximally left or right of the anchor, repositioning the cursor and the anchor accordingly by a single character position; and updating the user interface to reflect repositioning of the cursor and the anchor such that, responsive to the additional tap being a single tap, the cursor and the anchor are repositioned by a single character position.
