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nger.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 allow 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ngeronthepadafterthenaltap.Next,movetheobjectto

itsnewlocationbymoving yourngeracrosstheTouchpad,andthen

releaseyournger.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.
