Using The Touchpad - Toshiba Portege 2010 User Manual

The hard disk drive light flashes to indicate that the hard disk
drive is currently in use.
CAUTION: Never turn off the computer while any of the drives is in
use.

Using the TouchPad

The TouchPad, the small, smooth square cutout located in
front of the keyboard, is sensitive to touch and enables you to
move the cursor with the stroke of a finger. Simply move
your finger on the TouchPad in the direction you'd like to
move the cursor:
❖
To move the cursor to the top of the page, push your finger
forward on the TouchPad.
❖
To move the cursor to the bottom of the page, drag your finger
toward yourself.
❖
To move the cursor to the right side of the page, slide your
finger across the TouchPad from left to right.
❖
To move it to the left side, slide your finger from right to left.
NOTE: Because the TouchPad is much smaller than the display
screen, moving your cursor across the screen often means having
to move your finger several times across the TouchPad in the
preferred direction.
Once you've positioned your cursor, you can double-tap the
TouchPad or click the buttons to open a program or file, or to
get information about an icon.
