4 Navigating using the keyboard,

touch gestures and pointing devices

Your computer allows navigation using touch gestures (select models only) in addition to the keyboard

and mouse. Touch gestures can be used on your computer TouchPad.

Review the Windows Basics guide included with your computer. The guide provides information on

common tasks using the TouchPad, touch screen, or the keyboard.

Select computer models have special action keys or hot key functions on the keyboard to perform

routine tasks.

Using pointing devices

NOTE:

In addition to the pointing devices included with your computer, you can use an external USB

mouse (purchased separately) by connecting it to one of the USB ports on the computer.

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:

●

From the Start screen, type mouse, click Settings, and then select Mouse.

Using the TouchPad

NOTE:

Your TouchPad is equipped with a capacitive image sensor. This sensor supports the force-

enabled gesture continuation feature for navigating, scrolling, and pinching/zooming. This feature

enables these TouchPad gestures to repeatedly continue as long as finger force is being applied to the

TouchPad during the gesturing technique. Additionally, the TouchPad detects the force of the finger

pressure being applied while using these gestures. Press your fingers down on the TouchPad with force

while gesturing to accelerate the gesture motion. The classic TouchPad gestures described in the section

below are also supported.

To move the pointer, slide one finger across the TouchPad in the direction you want the pointer to go.

Use the left and right TouchPad buttons like the buttons on an external mouse.
