How do I right-click using touch?

The equivalent of a right-click with your mouse is to press and hold your finger on something for a couple seconds, then let go and tap the option you want.

To try this out, try copying and pasting text using touch.

Copy, and paste using touch

Select text Tap a word. To extend the selection, press and hold either circle and slide your finger. Let go when the selection is what you want.

Copy Now, tap the highlighted text and then tap Copy.

You can also press Ctrl+C to copy and Ctrl+V to paste.

The charms: Search, Share, Start, Devices, and Settings

No matter where you are, the charms help you do the things you do most often—like search, share links and photos, print, and change settings. The charms are context sensitive, meaning that what you can do depends on where you are. For example, if you open the Settings charm from the Start screen, you’ll see settings related to the Start screen. And if you open the Settings charm from an app, you’ll see settings for that app.

The five charms—Search, Share, Start, Devices, and Settings—are always available on the right side of your screen.
