KNOWING THE TOUCHPAD
The touchpad integrated in your computer is a pointing device that
compatible with standard mouse, allowing you to control the
computer by pointing the location of the cursor on the screen and
making selection with its two buttons.
Cursor Movement Area
This pressure-sensitive area of the touchpad, allows you to
place your finger on it and control the cursor on the screen by
moving your finger.
Left Button
Acts as the mouse’s left button.
Right Button
Acts as the mouse’s right button.
39
Using the Touchpad
Positioning and Moving
Place your finger on the touchpad (usually using the forefinger), and
the rectangular pad will act as a miniature duplicate of your display.
When you move your fingertip across the pad, the cursor on the
screen will move simultaneously in the same direction. When your
finger reaches the edge of the pad, lift your finger and replace it on a
proper location of the touchpad.
Point and Click
When you have moved and placed the cursor over an icon, a menu
item or a command that you want to execute, simply tap slightly on
the touchpad or press the left button to select.
This procedure,
called as point and click is the basics of operating your Notebook PC.
Unlike the traditional pointing device such as the mouse, the whole
touchpad can act as a left button, so that your each tap on the
touchpad is equivalent to pressing the left button.
Tapping twice
more rapidly on the touchpad is to execute a double-click.
40
Drag and Drop
You can move files or objects in your computer by using
drag-and-drop.
To do so, place the cursor on the desired item and
slightly tap twice on the touchpad, and then keep your fingertip in
contact with the touchpad on the second tap.
Now, you can drag
the selected item to the desired location by moving your finger on
the touchpad, and then lift your finger from the touchpad to drop the
item into place.
Alternately, you can press and hold the left button
when you select an item, and then move your finger to the desired
location; finally, release the left button to finish the drag-and-drop
operation.
Move the
cursor by
sliding your
fingertip.
Put your wrist on
the desk
comfortably.
Using the Touchpad
41
Configuring the Touchpad
You can customize the pointing device to meet your personal needs.
For example, if you are a left-hand user, you may want to swap the
functions of the two buttons. In addition, you can change the size,
shape, moving speed and other advanced features of the cursor on
the screen.
To configure the touchpad, you can use the standard Microsoft or
IBM PS/2 driver in your Windows operating system.
