HP Beats 23-n022 manual Navigating the screen, Using touch gestures, Using the keyboard and mouse

3Navigating the screen

You can navigate the computer screen in the following ways:

●Using touch gestures (select models only)

●Using the keyboard and mouse

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

Using touch gestures

You can customize the touch gestures by changing settings, button configurations, click speed, and pointer options.

From the Start screen, type control panel, select Control Panel, and then select Hardware and

Sound. Under Devices and Printers, select Mouse.

NOTE: Touch gestures are not supported in all apps.

Using the keyboard and mouse

The keyboard and mouse allow you to type, select items, scroll and to perform the same functions as you do using touch gestures. The keyboard also allows you to use action keys and hot keys to perform specific functions.

TIP: The Windows key on the keyboard allows you to quickly return to the Start screen from

an open app or the Windows desktop. Pressing the Windows key again will return you to the previous screen.

NOTE: Depending on the country or region, the keys and keyboard functions of your keyboard may be different from those discussed in this section.

Using the action keys or hot keys

●Action keys—Perform an assigned function. The icons on the function keys at the top of the keyboard illustrate the assigned function for that key.

To use an action key function, press and hold the key.

●Hot keys—A combination of the fn key and the esc key, the spacebar, or the appropriate action key.

To use a hot key, briefly press the fn key, and then briefly press the second key of the combination.
