Using the Touch Pad

The Touch Pad located in the palm rest may support the following gestures:

Tap

Tap once on the Touch Pad to activate an item,

 

such as an app.

 

 

Two-Finger Tap

Tap once on the Touch Pad with two fingers

 

together to display a menu or other function

 

depending on the software you are using.

 

(Similar to right-click)

 

 

Pinch or stretch

Place two or more fingers down on the Touch

 

Pad and move them toward each other (pinch) or

 

away from each other (stretch). This will show

 

different levels of information or visually zooms in

 

or out.

 

 

Two-Finger Scroll

Place two fingers down and slide them vertically

 

or horizontally from anywhere on the Touch Pad.

 

This allows you to operate the scroll bars of a

 

window.

 

 

Swipe

Quickly move your finger in from the edge of the

 

Touch Pad, without pausing when you first touch

 

it.

 

Swipe from the left edge: shows your recently

 

opened apps.

 

Swipe from the right edge: opens or closes the

 

charms (Search, Share, Start, Devices, Settings).

 

Swipe from the top edge: opens or closes the

 

app command bar.
