Windows 8 Touch Screen Controls/Gestures

This computer model incorporates a touch screen and this can be used to navigate through he interface in much
the same way as a mouse, touchpad and keyboard. Where you see the instruction to click an item in this man-
ual, you can choose to tap/double tap the appropriate area of the screen instead
. The following gestures are
useful when navigating the Windows 8 interface.

Swipe from the right (Access the Charms Bar) - Pull your finger from the right side of the screen (in the

black area) to the left a little bit to bring up the Charms Bar.

Figure 1 - 9 - Swipe from Right & Left

Swipe from the left (Switch apps) - If multiple apps are running you can slide your finger from the left side

of the screen (in the black area) to the right to switch between apps.

Swipe slowly from the left (Snap apps) - Perform the same action above more slowly, to drag one app out

and display it side-by-side with the app that was already on your screen.
