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 allows 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 touchpad twice.

● 

Dragging :

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 Scroll bar allows you to navigate 
through a document quickly without using the window's scroll bars. This 

is particularly useful when you are navigat-ing through on-line pages.

CAUTION: 
The touchpad responds to movement not to force. There is no 
need to tap the surface too hard. Tapping too hard does not 
increase the responsiveness of the touchpad. 
The touchpad responds best to light pressure.
