2.2 Using the Left Mouse Button
This button is mainly used to select and move icons around and click on gadgets (or buttons).
2.2.1 Clicking
To select an icon, move the pointer over the desired icon and then click the LMB once. The icon
will change to a reverse or an alternative image to indicate it has been selected.
When using gadgets such as those on windows (there are four gadgets on a window: Close,
Window-to-Front, Window-to-Back and Resize) move the pointer over the desired gadget and click
once to use that gadget. The gadget will change briefly and also change the window.
2.2.2 Double-Clicking
This is sometimes a tricky technique to use and requires a steady hand. This method is used to
open disks, drawers and files or run programs. To do this, move the pointer over the desired icon and
in quick succession (without moving the pointer) click on the LMB twice.
This should open the icon.
2.2.3 Dragging
This technique allows you to move objects such as icons around the screen or resize windows.
Select an icon with a single click, now keep the LMB down and move the pointer, the icon will now be
dragged with the pointer. If you let go of the pointer the icon will be dropped into its new position.
2.2.4 Multiple selection
You can select more than one icon at a time. To do this, click on the first icon, press the SHIFT key
down (either one) and then click on the second, third, fourth icons etc. to select multiple icons.
You can also select a whole group of icons by pressing the LMB at the top left of the icons and
while keeping the LMB down moving the pointer towards the bottom right. An expanding box will
appear and the icons with in it will be selected.
