Using The Trackpad Touch Gestures - ThinkPad Yoga14 User Manual

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.
