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 or on a touch screen (select models only).
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 conguration,
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 nger force is being applied to the TouchPad during the
gesturing technique. Additionally, the TouchPad detects the force of the nger pressure being applied while
using these gestures. Press your ngers 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 nger 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.
Turning the TouchPad o and on
To turn the TouchPad o and on, press fn+f2.
Using TouchPad Gestures
Your TouchPad allows you to navigate the pointing device on the screen by using your ngers to control the
pointer action.
The TouchPad supports a variety of gestures. To use TouchPad gestures, place two ngers on the TouchPad at
the same time.
NOTE: TouchPad gestures are not supported in all programs.
