Drag: Drag is the gesture you make for a slow scroll up and down a list. Slide your fingertip slowly along the surface-no need to bear down. One kind of drag that you'll use a lot brings up Quick Launch when you're in an application. This drag gesture begins in the gesture area and ends on the touchscreen. As your fingertip slowly crosses the border between the gesture area and the touchscreen, it seems to drag Quick Launch into view. To open one of the apps in Quick Launch, move your finger to its icon. When you see the app name appear, lift your finger. The application opens. You also make the drag gesture as part of a drag and drop. Flick: As its name tells you, this is a quick gesture, great for scrolling long lists. Do it fast, do it lightly; as with a swipe, your fingertip just skims the surface. The faster you flick, the faster and farther you scroll up or down a list. To close an application in Card view, flick the card up toward the top of the touchscreen. This is called throwing the card off the top of the screen. In some applications, such as Email and Messaging, you can throw a list item off the side of the screen to delete the item. If an application is maximized, you can flick up from the gesture area to the screen to minimize the app and display Card view. This is the up gesture. If you make the up gesture when Card view is displayed, you open the Launcher. Scroll gestures Scroll slow: Drag the screen in the desired direction. Chapter 2 : Basics 19
