Using The Touch Screen (Select Models Only); Tapping (Or Clicking); Flicking; Dragging - HP Mini 210-1010 User Manual

Using the touch screen (select models only)

Some computer models allow you to use your fingers to perform certain actions on the touch screen.
NOTE: The instructions in this section are based on the preferences set at the factory. To modify
settings for recognized clicks and flicks, select Start > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Pen
and Touch.

Tapping (or clicking)

Tap or double-tap an item on the screen as you would click or double-click with the TouchPad or an
external mouse. Tap and hold an item to see the context menu as you would with the right TouchPad
button.
NOTE: You must tap and hold your finger until the operating system draws a circle around the area
you are touching, and then the context menu appears.

Flicking

Touch the screen in a light, quick flicking motion up, down, left, or right to navigate through screens or
quickly scroll through documents.
NOTE: For the flick movement to work, a scrollbar must be present and in the active window.

Dragging

Press your finger on an item on the screen, and then move your finger to drag the item to a new location.
You can also use this motion to slowly scroll through documents.

Scrolling

Scrolling is useful for moving up or down on a page or image. To scroll, place two fingers on the screen,
and then drag them across the screen in an up, down, left, or right motion.
NOTE: Scrolling speed is controlled by finger speed.
