The Touch Pad and the Mouse
Double-clicking on the left mouse button is a common technique for selecting objects or
launching programs from icons. The touch pad also supports this feature. Once you
have moved the pointer over the object you wish to select, then rapidly double-click the
touch pad’s lower button.
Double-tapping is a selection technique that is unique to the touch pad. Double tapping
allows you to select objects or execute applications. Instead of double-clicking on a
mouse button, double-tap on the touch sensitive touch pad prompt the software to
perform the related operation.
