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 157.
