Touchpad Buttons
Two buttons are located below the Touchpad. The button on the left
acts exactly the same as the left button on a mouse. You can click it
once to select an icon, object, or file, and click or double-click to
execute an action on a selected icon, object, or file.
The button on the right acts exactly the same as the right button on a
mouse. In the Windows environment, a right clicker usually displays a
pull-down Properties menu for whatever icon, object, or file is selected.
Tapping the Touchpad Surface
You can operate most of the Touchpad functions with a single fingertip.
When you need to execute a left button mouse click, tap gently on the
Touchpad surface with your fingertip. Tap twice quite rapidly to execute
a double-click. For drag and drop operations, tap twice, keeping your
finger in contact with the Touchpad surface after the second tap. Then
drag the objects around the screen by moving your finger. When your
fingertip breaks contact with the Touchpad surface, the object is
dropped.
To use tapping to duplicate the effects of middle mouse button, follow
the directions above, but use two fingertips instead of one. To use
tapping to duplicate the effects of a right mouse button, follow the
instructions above but use three fingertips instead of one.
Scrolling with the Touchpad
In many Windows applications (Word, Excel, etc,) you can use the
touchpad to scroll up and down. Move your fingertip up and down the
right edge of the Touchpad. The application will scroll the text or cells
up and down in response to the movement of your fingertip.
If you hold down the CTRL key while using the scrolling area, the
scroller turns into a zoom function. Scroll up to zoom in, scroll down to
zoom out.
If you hold down the SHIFT key while using the scrolling area, the
scroller acts like the forward and back buttons in an Internet web
browser. Scroll up to move forward through the hypertext links, scroll
back to move backward through the hypertext links.
