12 Getting Started with the TI-Nspire™ CX Handheld
• Brighter: Press/and tap+.
Using the TI-Nspire™ Touchpad
Use the Touchpad to navigate or complete any task that can be completed
using the arrow and Enter keys. Use the Touchpad to navigate in two ways:
• Use it like a computer touchpad by moving your fingertip in a sliding
motion on the center area of the Touchpad to activate and move the
mouse pointer. Click or tap the center of the Touchpad to select a menu
option or complete an action.
• Press the arrow keys on the outside edge of the Touchpad to nudge the
mouse pointer up, down, left, or right, and then click e xor press·
to complete an action.
If you hold down an arrow key, the mouse pointer continues to move in that
direction.
Note: If the mouse pointer is visible on a command or file, click or tapxin the
center of the Touchpad to select that command or file. If the command or file is
highlighted, move the pointer over that item or press· to select it.
When working in an application, use the Touchpad to access more information
about problems. For example, hovering over a Graphs & Geometry object
displays information about variables used in that object and about tools that
are available.
Some users prefer to customize their Touchpad settings; to speed up or slow
down their pointer, or to enable tap to click. To change the default settings for
the Touchpad, see Configuring Handhelds .
Understanding the Scratchpad
Use the Scratchpad to make quick calculations and graphs without affecting
the current TI-Nspire™ document. For example, when you need a quick way to
test a calculation before you add it to a document, you can open the
Scratchpad application and perform the calculation. Then, you can either
discard the calculation or add it to a document. For more information about the
Scratchpad, see Using the Scratchpad .
