Moving the pointer using your trackpad
You can use the trackpad to move the pointer around your screen. The pointer appears at the last place you touched the
display. You can use the trackpad to position the pointer in the exact area of text that you want to select. The circle of
interest does not appear when you’re using the trackpad to move the pointer. However, the circle of interest appears if you
touch the display to edit text after the pointer is positioned.
