Tap once on the Touch Pad to activate an item,
such as an app.
Tap once on the Touch Pad with two fingers
together to display a menu or other function
depending on the software you are using.
(Similar to right-click)
Place two or more fingers down on the Touch
Pad and move them toward each other (pinch) or
away from each other (stretch). This shows
different levels of information or visually zooms in
or out.
Place two fingers down and slide them vertically
or horizontally from anywhere on the Touch Pad.
This allows you to operate the scroll bars of a
window.
Quickly move in with three fingers together from
the edge of the Touch Pad, without pausing
when you first touch it.
Swipe from the top edge: shows the desktop.
Swipe from the bottom edge: views all your open
apps in task view.
Swipe from the left or right edge: switches
between your open apps. Slide your fingers
slowly across the Touch Pad to flip through them
all.
