Chapter 2 The Basics 23
Instead of using the trackpad button, you can use your finger to click and double-click
directly on the trackpad. You can turn on this and other trackpad options in the
Keyboard & Mouse pane of System Preferences.
Note: If you find that the pointer moves as you type because you accidentally brush
the trackpad, you can avoid this problem by selecting the “Ignore accidental trackpad
input” option in the Keyboard & Mouse pane of System Preferences.
Using the Keyboard
Your PowerBook keyboard has a numeric keypad incorporated in the standard
keyboard keys. Keys used for the numeric keypad have a smaller secondary label.
To use the numeric keypad, press the Num Lock key. The Num Lock key glows green,
indicating that the keypad is active. When you’re finished, press the Num Lock key
again to turn it off.
Important: If your keyboard doesn’t seem to be working correctly, check the Num Lock
key. When the numeric keypad is active, other keys and keyboard equivalents for menu
commands (such as x-Q to quit) are deactivated.
If you like to use keyboard shortcuts to work efficiently, open Mac OS Help and search
for “shortcuts.” You’ll find quite a list of keyboard shortcuts for many common
procedures and applications.
