Using the Touchpad
The keyboard contains a cursor-pointing device called a touchpad. You
can point to, select, drag, and scroll objects on the screen using the built-in
touchpad.
Actions Descriptions
Point Slide one finger on the touchpad to place the pointer on an item
or object.
Click Press the left button once.
Double-click Press the left button twice.
Right-click Press the right button once. In many applications, this action
displays a shortcut menu of context-sensitive choices.
Drag Slide one finger while pressing the left button. When your
finger reaches a touchpad edge, the pointer keeps moving until
you lift your finger. Use this action to select and move objects.
Scroll Move your finger along the right edge of the touchpad to scroll
