Using the Trackpad and Keyboard
Use the trackpad to move the pointer and to scroll, tap, double-tap, and drag. The
speed of the pointer varies based on how quickly you move your finger across the
trackpad. To fine-tune the tracking speed and set other trackpad options, choose Apple
() > System Preferences and then click Trackpad.
Here are some useful keyboard and trackpad tips and shortcuts:
 Forward deleting deletes characters to the right of the insertion point. Pressing the
Delete key deletes characters to the left of the insertion point.
To forward delete, hold down the Function (fn) key while you press the Delete key.
 Two-finger scrolling lets you drag to scroll quickly up, down, or sideways in the active
window. This option is on by default.
