6 Getting started with the TI-Nspire™ CX handheld
• Press the arrow keys on the outside edge of the Touchpad to nudge
the mouse pointer up, down, left, or right, then click
exor
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 the TI-Nspire™ CX handheld.
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, please see Using the Scratchpad.
