Dell C500 Laptop User Manual


 
To best use the touch pad, follow these techniques:
To move the cursor, lightly slide your finger over the smooth sensor area.
To select an object, gently tap once on the surface of the touch pad or use your thumb to press the left
touch pad button.
To select and move (or drag) an object, position the cursor on the object and tap down-up-down on the
touch pad. On the second down motion, leave your finger on the touch pad and move the selected
object by sliding your finger across the surface.
To double-click an object, position the cursor on the object and then tap the touch pad or the left touch
pad button twice.
Using the Track Stick
You can use the track stick to move the cursor, just like a standard mouse (see Figure 6). The two buttons
located between the touch pad and the space bar on the keyboard correspond to the left and right buttons on
a mouse. The track stick functions much like the touch pad in that it allows you to use buttons for mouse
functions or the pointing device itself.
