2.6 Using the Touchpad
A Touchpad pointing device comes built into your computer. It is used to
control the movement of the pointer to select items on your desktop and
use applications on the notebook.
The Touchpad consists of a cursor control, a left and right button, and
a scroll bar. The cursor control works the same way a mouse does,
and moves the cursor around the display. It only requires light pressure
from the tip of your finger. The left and right buttons function the same
as mouse buttons. The actual functionality of the buttons may vary
depending on the application that is being used. The scroll bar allow you
to navigate quickly through pages, without having to use the on-screen
cursor to manipulate the up and down scroll bars.
Clicking:
Clicking means pushing and releasing a button. To left-click, move the
cursor to the item you wish to select, press the left button once, and then
immediately release it. To right click, move the mouse cursor to the item
you wish to select, press the right button once, and then immediately
release it. You also have the option to perform the clicking operation by
tapping lightly on the Touchpad once.
Double-Clicking:
Double-clicking means pushing and releasing the left button twice in
rapid succession. This procedure does not function with the right button.
To double-click, move the cursor to the item you wish to select, press
the left button twice, and then immediately release it. You also have the
option to perform the double-click operation by tapping lightly on the

Dragging means pressing and holding the left button while moving the
