Touchscreen Gestures

Touchscreen gestures enhance the usability of a touchscreen display by allowing you to perform tasks like zoom, scroll, rotate, and so on, by sliding or
flicking your finger on the display.
NOTE: Some of these gestures are application-specific and may not work across applications.
Zoom
Allows you to increase or decrease the magnification of the active screen content by moving two fingers apart or bringing them closer together on the
display.
Zoom in
Dwell
Allows you to access additional information by simulating a right-click.
Press and hold a finger on the touch screen, to open context-sensitive menus.
Flick
Allows you to flip content forward or backward based on the direction of the flick.
Move a finger quickly in the desired direction to flip through content in the active window like pages in a book.
Flick also works vertically when navigating content such as images or songs in a playlist.
Scroll
Allows you to scroll through content. The scroll features include:
Pan — Allows you to move the focus on the selected object when the entire object is not visible.
Move two fingers in the desired direction to pan scroll the selected object.
