Touchpad Usage Single-finger gesture input Clicking/Tapping - With the pointer over an item, press the left button or use your fingertip to touch the touchpad lightly, keeping your finger on the touchpad until the item is selected. The selected item will change color. Double-clicking/Double-tapping - This is a common skill for launching a program directly from the corresponding icon you select. Move the pointer over the icon you wish to execute, press the left button or tap the pad twice in rapid succession, and the system launches the corresponding program. If the interval between the clicks or taps is too long, the operation will not be executed. Dragging - Dragging means to pick up an item and place it anywhere on the screen you wish. You can move the pointer over the item you select, and while keeping the left button depressed, moving the pointer to the desired location, then release the button. Or, you can simply double-tap on the item and hold while dragging the item with your fingertip. Multi-finger gesture input Two-finger scrolling - Use two fingertips to slide up or down on the touchpad to scroll a window up or down. If your display window includes several sub-windows, move the pointer on that pane before scrolling. 1-12 Chapter 1: Knowing the Parts
