1.1.7 Touch Pad
The touch pad works like a desktop mouse. The Touch Pad responds to the movements and
pressure of your finger, allowing you to move the cursor around the screen, in the same way
you would with a mouse.
Place your fingers on the keyboard in the normal typing position.
You can use the Touch Pad by moving either your right or left thumb off the space bar and
on to the Touch Pad.
Gently move your thumb across the Touch Pad in the direction you want the cursor to move.
The Touch Pad buttons have the same function as mouse buttons. Clicking these buttons
makes selections, drags objects, or performs a variety of other functions depending on the
software. To select an object, first move the pointer over the object you want to select, and
then press the left button one time and release it. The functionality of these buttons depends
on your software.
Double-clicking is a common technique for selecting objects or launching programs.
You may also select object or execute applications from icons by double tapping. This is
similar to double-clicking; instead of pressing the Touch Pad buttons, you tap the Touch Pad
itself.
