Using The Trackpad Touch Gestures - Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon User Manual

Note: Compared with the TrackPoint mode, the Classic TrackPoint mode enlarges the right-click zone so
that the right- and left-click zones on the trackpad are divided equally. However, the touch gestures are
disabled and cannot be used in the Classic TrackPoint mode.

Using the trackpad touch gestures

The entire trackpad is sensitive to finger touch and movement. You can use the trackpad to perform the
same point and click actions as you would using a traditional mouse. You also can use the trackpad
to perform a variety of touch gestures.
This topic introduces the frequently used touch gestures such as tap, drag, scroll, and rotate. For more
gestures, see the help information system for the ThinkPad pointing device.
Notes:
• Some gestures are only available in certain apps and modes of the ThinkPad pointing device.
• When using two or more fingers, ensure that your fingers are slightly apart.

depends on the amount of pressure you apply to the
pointing stick.
