Pointing devices and keyboard
Using pointing devices
Setting pointing device preferences
Use Mouse Properties in Windows to customize settings for pointing devices, such as button
configuration, click speed, and pointer options.
To access Mouse Properties, select Start > Control Panel > Printers and Other Hardware >
Mouse.
Using the TouchPad
To move the pointer, slide your finger across the TouchPad surface in the direction you want the pointer
to go. Use the TouchPad buttons like the corresponding buttons on an external mouse. To scroll up and
down using the TouchPad vertical scroll zone, slide your finger up or down over the lines.
NOTE:
If you are using the TouchPad to move the pointer, you must lift your finger off the TouchPad
before moving it to the scroll zone. Simply sliding your finger from the TouchPad to the scroll zone will
not activate the scrolling function.
Connecting an external mouse
You can connect an external USB mouse to the computer using one of the USB ports on the computer.
A wireless Bluetooth mouse can be used only on Bluetooth-enabled computers (select models only);
follow the instructions provided with the device. A USB device can be added by connecting the device
to a USB port on the computer or on an optional docking device (select models only).
Using the keyboard
Using hotkeys
Hotkeys are combinations of the
fn
key (1) and either the
esc
key (2) or one of the function keys (3).
The icons on the
f1
through
f12
keys represent the hotkey functions. Hotkey functions and procedures
are discussed in the following sections.
