Left-click to select the item under the pointer. Double-click to start the program under the cursor, or select 3 an entire word when typing text. 2. Right-click to bring up a pop-up menu. 3. Two quick taps on the surface of a touchpad will perform the same action as a double-click. 1 2 Optional Touchpad features If your computer supports Multi-gesture, the touchpad can recognise certain movement patterns across its surface. This allows you to control applications with a few simple gestures. Please see Gateway InfoCentre for more information. Your computer may feature a Touchpad Lock button. The Touchpad Lock button toggles the touchpad on or off to avoid unwanted cursor movements when using the keyboard. This is most useful if you have connected a mouse to your computer. On certain computers you may slide your finger up and down the right-side of the touchpad to scroll through a document. Note: Improve the motion and visibility of the pointer!
