English Touchpad
Touchpad basics
The touchpad controls the arrow (or 'cursor') on the screen. As you slide
your finger across the touchpad, the cursor will follow this movement.
Note: The touchpad is sensitive to finger movement; the lighter the
touch, the better the response.
Please keep the touchpad and your fingers dry and clean.
The cursor is controlled by some basic gestures:
• Single-finger slide: Slide a finger across the touchpad
to
move the cursor.
• Single-finger press or tap: Press the touchpad down, or
lightly tap the touchpad with your finger, to perform a 'click',
which will select or start an item. Quickly repeat the tap to perform a
double tap or 'double click'.
• Single-finger press or tap in the bottom-
right corner: Press the bottom right corner
of the touchpad to perform a 'right click'.
In the Start screen, this will toggle the app
commands, in most apps this will open a
context menu related to the selected item.
• Drag: Press and hold the bottom left corner of the touchpad, or tap twice
anywhere on the touchtap, then slide a second finger across the
touchpad to select all items in an area.
Touchpad gestures
Windows 8 and many applications support touchpad gestures that use
one or more fingers.
Note: Support for touchpad gestures depends on the active application.
This allows you to control applications with a few simple gestures, such as:
• Swipe in from edge: Access Windows tools
by swiping into the center of the touchpad
from the right, top or left.
• Swipe in from right edge: Toggle the charms.
• Swipe in from top edge: Toggle the app commands.
• Swipe in from left edge: Switch to the previous app.
