Using the Touchpad

The keyboard contains a cursor-pointing device called a touchpad. You
can point to, select, drag, and scroll objects on the screen using the built-in
touchpad.

Slide one finger on the touchpad to place the pointer on an item
or object.

Press the left button twice.

Right-click

Press the right button once. In many applications, this action
