Using Multi-touch Gestures
If your computer model comes with multi-touch-capable screen and
Windows 7, you can interact with your computer by placing two fingers on
the screen. The movement of the fingers across the screen creates
“gestures,” which send commands to the computer.
Here are the multi-touch gestures that you can use:
