Touchscreen operations
The most common methods are tapping and typing on the touchscreen
directly with your fingers. In this section, you will learn to do this both ways.
Finger gestures
Most of the operations when using your tablet are done through the
touchscreen with your fingertips. The most common fingertip operations,
which we call “gestures”, are as follows:
Gesture name
Explanation
Touch
Tap the screen once to open items and select
options.
Double-touch
Tap the screen twice in the same location.
When viewing an image or a map,
double-tapping can be used to zoom in and
also zoom out. In this case, it is recommended
that you use the zoom-in or zoom-out gesture
(as shown later in this table) instead when you
want to zoom.
Drag
Keep your finger touching the screen and drag
across the screen toward the direction you
desire. Use this gesture whenever you want to
select text or move icons.
