Dragging
Scrolling
Dragging means pressing and holding the left button, while
moving the cursor. To drag, move the cursor to the item you
wish to move. Press and hold the left button while moving the
item to its new location and then release it. Dragging can also
be done using the Touchpad. First, tap the Touchpad twice over
the item you wish to move making sure to leave your finger on
the pad after the final tap. Next, move the object to its new
location by moving your finger across the Touchpad, and then
release your finger.
Using the Scrolling button allows you to navigate through a
document quickly without using the window’s scroll bars. This
is particularly useful when you are navigating through on-line
pages. To use the Scrolling button, press the crescent shape at
the top or bottom of the button to scroll up or down a page.
When you have reached the desired section of the page, release
the button.
If your system has the optional fingerprint sensor in place of the
scrolling button, it can be used for scrolling by moving your
finger up and down over its surface. See “Appendix B:
Fingerprint Sensor Device” on page 164.
