5 Navigating the screen Depending on your computer model, you can navigate the computer screen using one or more methods. ● Use touch gestures directly on the computer screen. ● Use touch gestures on the touchpad. ● Use an optional mouse or keyboard (purchased separately). ● Use an on-screen keyboard. ● Use a pointing stick. Using touchpad and touch screen gestures The touchpad helps you navigate the computer screen and control the pointer using simple touch gestures. You can also use the left and right touchpad buttons as you would use the corresponding buttons on an external mouse. To navigate a touch screen (select products only), touch the screen directly using gestures described in this chapter. To customize gestures and see videos of how they work, type control panel in the taskbar search box, select Control Panel, and then select Hardware and Sound. Under Devices and Printers, select Mouse. Some products include a precision touchpad, which provides enhanced gesture functionality. To determine if you have a precision touchpad and find additional information, select Start, select Settings, select Devices, and then select touchpad. NOTE: Unless noted, gestures can be used on both the touchpad and a touch screen. Tap Point to an item on the screen, and then tap one finger on the touchpad zone or touch screen to select the item. Double-tap an item to open it. Two-finger pinch zoom Use the two-finger pinch zoom to zoom out or in on images or text. ● Zoom out by placing two fingers apart on the touchpad zone or touch screen and then moving your fingers together. ● Zoom in by placing two fingers together on the touchpad zone or touch screen and then moving your fingers apart. 24 Chapter 5 Navigating the screen
