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 center area of the Touchpad to activate and move the mouse pointer. Click or tap the center 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, and 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 center 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 customize 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.
