Mouse, Pen and Keyboard
In Avid|DS, you can use a two-button mouse (with wheel) or a pen and tablet.
The left and right mouse buttons perform different operations. Unless
otherwise stated, use the left mouse button.
The mouse and pen operate slightly differently. All the procedures in this
guide are documented for the mouse. You can, however, easily use a pen or
the keyboard. The following table shows the terms relating to the mouse, pen,
and keyboard.
Customizing the Pen or Mouse
By customizing the pen, you can adjust the click pressure, switch functions,
and other features. For information on customizing the pen, refer to the
WACOM ArtZII documentation provided with your Avid|DS system.
You can also customize the mouse. For example, you can select left-handed
configuration or change the double-click speed.
For information on customizing the mouse, refer to the Windows 2000 or
Windows NT online help.
