Getting to Know Your LifeBook
Touchpad Pointing Device
The Touchpad pointing device comes built into your
LifeBook notebook. It is used to control the movement
of the pointer to select items on your display panel. The
Touchpad is composed of a cursor control, a left and
right button, and a scrolling/fingerprint sensor. The
cursor control works the same way a mouse does, and
moves the cursor around the display. It only requires
light pressure with the tip of your finger. The left and
right buttons function the same as mouse buttons. The
actual functionality of the buttons may vary depending
on the application that is being used. The scrolling
sensor allows you to navigate quickly through pages,
without having to use the scroll bars. (Figure 2-15)
CLICKING
Clicking means pushing and releasing a button. To left-
click, move the cursor to the item you wish to select,
press the left button once, and then immediately release
it. To right-click, move the mouse cursor to the item you
wish to select, press the right button once, and then
immediately release it. You also have the option to
perform the clicking operation by tapping lightly on the
Touchpad once. (Figure 2-12)

DOUBLE-CLICKING
Double-clicking means pushing and releasing the left
button twice in rapid succession. This procedure does
not function with the right button. To double-click,
move the cursor to the item you wish to select, press
the left button twice, and then immediately release it.
You also have the option to perform the double-click
operation by tapping lightly on the Touchpad twice.

Sensor Device” on page 99.
