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 allows 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 finger 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.
CAUTION: The touchpad responds to movement not to force.
There is no need to tap the surface too hard. Tapping too hard
does not increase the responsiveness of the touchpad.
The touchpad responds best to light pressure.
