Touchpad Pointing Device
The Touchpad pointing device comes built into your
LifeBook notebook. It is used to control the movement
of the pointer to select items on your display panel. The
Touchpad is composed of a cursor control, a scrolling
button, and left and right buttons.
The cursor control works the same way a mouse does,
and moves the cursor around the display. It only
requires light pressure with the tip of your finger.
The scrolling button allows you to navigate quickly
through pages.
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.
(Figure 2-13)
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. (Figure 2-14) You can also perform the clicking
operation by tapping lightly on the Touchpad once. To
right-click, move the mouse cursor to the item you wish
to select, press the right button once, then immediately
release it.

DOUBLE-CLICKING
Double-clicking means pushing and releasing the left
button twice in rapid succession. This procedure does
not function with the right button (Figure 2-15). To
double-click, move the cursor to the item you wish to
select, press the left button twice, and then immediately
release it. You can also perform the double-click opera-
tion by tapping lightly on the Touchpad twice.
