Touch Pad Gesture - Toshiba Satellite P500 User Manual

Operating Basics
Two buttons below the keyboard are used like the buttons on a mouse
pointer. Press the left button to select a menu item or to manipulate text or
graphics designated by the pointer. Press the right button to display a menu
or other function depending on the software you are using.
Do not press on the TouchPad too hard or press a sharp object such as a
ball point pen against the TouchPad. The TouchPad could be damaged.
For some functions, you can tap the TouchPad instead of pressing a control
button.
Click: Tap the TouchPad once
Double-click: Tap the TouchPad twice
Drag and drop:
1. Hold down the left control button and move the cursor to drag the item
you want to move.
2. Lift your finger to drop the item where you want it.
Scroll:
Vertical: Move your finger up or down the right edge of the TouchPad.
Horizontal: Move your finger left or right along the bottom edge of the
TouchPad.

Touch Pad Gesture

There are four convenient gestures that make users operate the system
easier and faster.
ChiralMotion
You can scroll vertically and horizontally. To enable these features, select
the Enable vertical scrolling and Enable horizontal scrolling check
boxes.
Click on the window or item you wish to scroll and slide your finger upwards
or downwards along the right edge of the TouchPad to scroll vertically. Slide
your finger to the left or right along the lower edge of the TouchPad to scroll
horizontally.
If scrolling does not respond, ensure that the appropriate check box is
selected and that the window or item on which you have clicked is
scrollable. If you still have problems, check your Scrolling Region settings.
Pinch Zoom (Pinch)
The Pinch Zoom gesture delivers zooming functionality in many
applications. You can use the Pinch Zoom gesture to perform the same
functions that a scroll wheel performs on standard Windows applications
that support CTRL-SCROLL WHEEL zoom functionality.
To enable this feature, select the Enable Pinch Zoom check box.
