Using the Touchpad

Page 51 highlights

Using the Touchpad The following table and diagrams provide some tips that you should know when using the touchpad: Positioning and Moving Place your finger on the touchpad (usually using the forefinger), and the rectangular pad will act as a miniature duplicate of your display. When you move your fingertip across the pad, the cursor on the screen will move simultaneously in the same direction. When your finger reaches the edge of the pad, lift your finger and replace it on a proper location of the touchpad. Point and Click When you have moved and placed the cursor over an icon, a menu item or a command that you want to execute, simply tap slightly on the touchpad or press the left button to select. This procedure, called as point and click is the basics of operating your Notebook PC. Unlike the traditional pointing device such as the mouse, the whole touchpad can act as a left button, so that your each tap on the touchpad is equivalent to pressing the left button. Tapping twice more rapidly on the touchpad is to execute a double-click. Drag and Drop You can move files or objects in your computer by using rag-and-drop. To do so, place the cursor on the desired item and slightly tap twice on the touchpad, and then keep your fingertip in 33
