Dell Precision M40 - Manual (Page 94)

DualPoint device software allows you to adjust settings, such as sensitivity, motion, and drag and drop features for both the touch pad and track
stick.
Using the Touch Pad
The two touch pad buttons, located directly below the touch pad, correspond to the left and right buttons on a mouse.
l To move the cursor, lightly slide your finger over the smooth sensor area.
l
To select an object, gently tap once on the surface of the touch pad or use your thumb to press the left touch pad button.
l To select and move (or drag) an object, position the cursor on the object and tap down-up-down on the touch pad. On the second down
motion, leave your finger on the touch pad and move the selected object by sliding your finger across the surface.
l To double-click an object, position the cursor on the object and then tap the touch pad or the left touch pad button twice.
Using the Track Stick
The two track stick buttons, located between the touch pad and the space bar on the keyboard, correspond to the left and right buttons on a
mouse.
l To move the cursor, apply pressure to the track stick with your index finger. Press up or down to move the cursor to the top or bottom of the
display screen. Press left or right to move the cursor to the left or right of the display screen.
l To select an object, tap once on the track stick or use your thumb to press the left track stick button.
l To select and move (or drag) an object, position the cursor on the object. Then press and hold the left track stick button. Leave your thumb on
the button and move the selected object by pressing the track stick in the desired direction.
l
To double-click an object, position the cursor on the object and then tap the left track stick button or the track stick itself twice. The track stick
functions much like the touch pad in that it allows you to use buttons for mouse functions or the pointing device itself.
