When you move your finger on the touchpad, the pointer (arrow) on the screen
moves in the same direction.

objects.
You can assign a function to the rocker switch between the touchpad buttons.
This function can be to scroll up or down, maximize or minimize the active
window, or open and close the Start menu. For more information about
programming the rocker switch, see “Changing the touchpad settings” on
page 179.
