Using the TI-Nspire™ Touchpad

Use the Touchpad to navigate or complete any task that can be completed using the arrow and Enter keys. Use the Touchpad to navigate in two ways:

Use it like a computer touchpad by moving your fingertip in a sliding motion on the centre area of the Touchpad to activate and move the mouse pointer. Click or tap the centre of the Touchpad to select a menu option or complete an action.
Press the arrow keys on the outside edge of the Touchpad to nudge the mouse pointer up, down, left or right, then click e x or press · to complete an action.

If you hold down an arrow key, the mouse pointer continues to move in that direction.

Note: If the mouse pointer is visible on a command or file, click or tap x in the centre of the Touchpad to select that command or file. If the command or file is highlighted, move the pointer over that item or press · to select it.

When working in an application, use the Touchpad to access more information about problems. For example, hovering over a Graphs & Geometry object displays information about variables used in that object and about tools that are available.

Some users prefer to customise their Touchpad settings; to speed up or slow down their pointer, or to enable tap to click. To change the default settings for the Touchpad, see Configuring Handhelds.
