Using the trackpad touch gestures

The entire trackpad surface is sensitive to finger touch and movement. You can use the trackpad to perform
the same point and click actions as you would use a traditional mouse. You also can use the trackpad to
perform various touch gestures.
The following section introduces some frequently used touch gestures such as tapping, dragging, and
scrolling. For more gestures, see the help information system of the ThinkPad pointing device.
Notes:
• When using two or more fingers, ensure that you position your fingers slightly apart.
• Some gestures are not available if the last action was done from the TrackPoint pointing device.
• Some gestures are only available when you are using certain apps.
• Depending on the model, the trackpad on your computer might look different from the illustrations in this
topic.
