Keyboard Functions
Your ThinkPad computer's keyboard has the following functions:
TrackPoint III
Fn key function
Numeric keypad
TrackPoint III
The keyboard contains a unique cursor-pointing device called the
TrackPoint III. Pointing, selecting, and dragging all become part of a
single process you can perform without moving your fingers from
their typing position.
The TrackPoint III consists of a stick on the keyboard and a pair of
click buttons in front of the keyboard. Movement of the pointer on
the screen is controlled by the amount of pressure you apply to the
nonslip cap on the stick in any direction parallel to the keyboard; the
stick itself does
not move. The speed at which the pointer moves
corresponds to the amount of pressure you apply to the stick. The
function of the click buttons corresponds to the left and right mouse
buttons on a traditional mouse, and depends on the software you are
using.
Note:
No other software is required for the TrackPoint III; it works with the PS/2
mouse driver.
