Using the TouchPad
™
The TouchPad
TM
, the touch-sensitive cutout in front of the
keyboard, enables you to move the cursor by brushing your
finger on the surface in the direction you would like the
cursor to move. To move the cursor to the top of the screen,
move your finger on the TouchPad away from you. To move
the cursor to the bottom, do the opposite.
For more information on the TouchPad, see the electronic
user’s guide.
Using primary and secondary control buttons
When you want to click or choose an item, use the TouchPad
to move the pointer/cursor to the item. Once the pointer/
cursor is positioned, you can click it into place by either
double-tapping the TouchPad or clicking the control buttons.
The control buttons are adjacent to the TouchPad and are used
like the buttons on a mouse. The primary control button is the
left one and corresponds to the left mouse button. To double-
click, press the primary button twice in rapid succession.
The function of the secondary button depends on the program
you are using. It usually corresponds to the right mouse
button. Check your program’s documentation to find whether
it uses the secondary mouse button.
Using TOSHIBA Touch and Launch
TOSHIBA Touch and Launch is a program that adds features
to the TouchPad. TOSHIBA Touch and Launch is like a
miniature Windows
®
desktop.
To activate TOSHIBA Touch and Launch, touch and hold
your finger on a corner of the TouchPad. The TOSHIBA
Touch and Launch window will appear. A blue circle within
the TOSHIBA Touch and Launch window represents your
finger location on the TouchPad. As you move the blue circle
over an icon in the TOSHIBA Touch and Launch window, the
icon is highlighted. Release your finger from a selected icon
to choose the icon's function.
You can personalize TOSHIBA Touch and Launch to help
you work more efficiently. For more information on
TOSHIBA Touch and Launch, see the electronic user’s guide.
