3 Navigating the screen

You can navigate the computer screen in the following ways:

●

Using touch gestures (select models only)

●

Using the keyboard and mouse

Select computer models have special action keys or hot key functions on the keyboard to perform routine

tasks.

Using touch gestures

You can customize the touch gestures by changing settings, button configurations, click speed, and pointer

options.

From the Start screen, type control panel, and then select Control Panel. Or, from the Windows

desktop, right-click the Start button, and then select

Control Panel. Select Hardware and Sound. Under

Devices and Printers, select Mouse.

NOTE: Touch gestures are not supported in all apps.

Using the keyboard and mouse

The keyboard and mouse allow you to type, select items, scroll and to perform the same functions as you do

using touch gestures. The keyboard also allows you to use action keys and hot keys to perform specific

functions.

TIP:

The Windows key on the keyboard allows you to quickly return to the Start screen from an open

app or the Windows desktop. Pressing the Windows key again will return you to the previous screen.

different from those discussed in this section.
