So should I only include my entrances to the Schengen territory or should I list all the one-day and two-day trips I have made to nearby countries?
Only entrances to the Schengen Area, not to each constituent countries every time you moved around. If you had multiple exits/entries again to the Schengen zone I would list all those entries from Outside the Schengen area.
So if I had a residence permit and was living in the Schengen area but travelled to my home country or anywhere else for that matter and came back I would list all such Schengen returns separately even if the basic reason stays the same.
I don't think it is confusing at all, specially on the new form. You select Yes for a Schengen Area visit, enter the Month/Year, provide duration which can even be in years and provide a reason ; Residence Permit.

Living somewhere != visiting. If they want to know about visits, just mention that you've been living in the Schengen area for X years.
