The touchpad controls the arrow (or 'cursor') on the screen. As
you slide your finger across the touchpad, the cursor will follow
this movement. The Precision Touchpad (PTP) is designed to
provide a more uniform, smooth, and accurate touchpad
experience. Many applications support precision touchpad
gestures that use one or more fingers, however, some gestures
may not be supported by the specific application or program you
are using.
Touchpad gestures
Single-finger slide
Slide a finger across the touchpad to move the cursor.
Single-finger press or tap
Press the touchpad down, or lightly tap the touchpad
with your finger, to perform a 'click', which will select or
start an item. Quickly repeat the tap to perform a
double tap or 'double click'.
Two-finger press
Lightly tap the touchpad with two fingers to perform a
'right click'. In the Start screen, this will toggle the
app commands. In most apps this will open a context
menu related to the selected item.
Two-finger slide
Swiftly scroll through web pages, documents and
playlists by placing two fingers on the touchpad and
moving both in any direction.
