Click force

. The amount of force you must apply to the pen tip for a click to occur.

Digital Ink

. A broad category that typically describes handwritten content which has been created using

pen-based input on a computer. This handwritten content takes the form of sketches, ink mark-up, or

handwriting. The handwriting can optionally be converted to typewritten text or simply left alone for use in

its original format. Depending on your system and applications settings, the handwritten text you make

with digital ink can be converted on-the-fly or at another time.

at a time. Available only on multiple monitor systems. See working with Display Toggle

Double-click distance

double-click.
