Using the TouchPad

The TouchPad is a touch-sensitive pointing device located below the center of the
keyboard. The two click buttons are located below the TouchPad.
The TouchPad controls the motion and speed of the pointer on the screen. The click
buttons work like those on a standard mouse. What the buttons do depends on the
software being used.

To move the pointer

1. If you place your hands in the typing position, either thumb can reach from the
spacebar to the TouchPad.
2. Move a thumb or finger across the TouchPad in the direction you want the
pointer to move.
3. Use your thumb to click buttons, such as to select or drag an item.

To select items in the display

Single-clicking and double-clicking: The TouchPad's left and right buttons
function like the left and right buttons on a mouse. For instance, to open an
application, move the pointer over the icon, then press the left button twice
rapidly. To make menu selections, highlight the entry and press the left button
once. To open the menu for an item, highlight it and click the right button.
Single-tapping and double-tapping: Tapping has the same function as
clicking. To select an item, you can tap on the TouchPad instead of clicking a
button.

To drag items or to select text

1. First move the pointer over the item.
2. Press and hold the left button with your thumb.
3. Use your index finger on the TouchPad to move to the new location.
4. Release the button.
