Operating in Windows Vista® 39
2.3 Using Pen Flicks and Touch Flicks
To flick means to make gestures on the touch screen by sliding the stylus or
your finger in quick strokes. Pen flicks are stylus gestures that allow you to
do simple navigational and editing functions on the touch screen. Actions
like scrolling, moving forward and backward, copying and pasting, and
more, can be done using pen flicks. Touch flicks are just the same as pen
flicks, except that you use your finger to make the gestures on the touch
screen.
To navigate through documents, web pages and file lists
By default, the following navigational flicks are enabled in Windows Vista®:

To enable editing flicks
By default, pen and touch flicks for performing common editing functions
such as undo/redo, copy, delete and paste are disabled. To enable these
editing flicks, do the following:
1. Tap the Pen flicks icon ( ) on the taskbar and then tap Customize
your pen flicks settings.
2. The Pen and Input Devices dialog box then opens and displays the
Flicks tab. Select the Navigational flicks and editing flicks option
then tap OK.
Windows Vista® provides a training utility that you can use to learn and
practice pen and touch flicks. To access this training utility, tap Start > All
