Two buttons below the keyboard are used like the buttons on a mouse
pointer. Press the left button to select a menu item or to manipulate text or
graphics designated by the pointer. Press the right button to display a
menu or other function depending on the software you are using.
For some functions, you can tap the Touch Pad instead of pressing a
control button.
