Using the touch screen, on-screen keyboard, and digital pen

You can use your fingers to perform most actions on the touch screen.

NOTE: The instructions in this section are based on the preferences set at the factory. To modify settings for recognized taps and flicks, refer to “Setting touch screen preferences.”

NOTE: Some gestures are not supported in all programs.

Tapping

Tap or double-tap an item on the screen as you would click or double-click with an external mouse. Tap and hold an item to see the context menu.

NOTE: You must tap and hold your finger until the operating system draws a circle around the area you are touching, and then the context menu appears.

Flicking

Touch the screen in a light, quick flicking motion up, down, left, or right to navigate through screens or quickly scroll through documents.

NOTE: For the flick movement to work, a scrollbar must be present in the active window.

Dragging

Press your finger on an item on the screen, and then move your finger to drag the item to a new location. You can also use this motion to slowly scroll through documents.
