Pen flicks are quick, directional gestures; you quickly draw a short line in one of eight directions. When a pen flick is recognized, the Tablet-PC performs the action assigned. The horizontal and vertical pen flicks are, by default, assigned to navigational actions, corresponding to the keys , , , and . The default assignments for the diagonal pen flicks are editing actions: delete, copy, paste, and undo. To customize pen flicks, click Start → Control Panel→ Mobile PC→ Pen and Input Devices and click the Flicks tab.

You can also assign a new action to any of the eight pen flicks and adjust how easily your pen flicks are recognized.

In Windows Vista, you can customize the visual feedback that displays for each type of tap, and you can customize the actions assigned to pen flicks.
