<p>You can click, double-click, drag, and scroll using only your

touchpad, without separate hardware buttons.</p>

36
<item><p>If your touchpad supports multi-finger taps, right-click by tapping with
37
two fingers at once. Otherwise, you still need to use hardware buttons to
38
right-click. See <link xref="a11y-right-click"/> for a method of right-clicking

without a second mouse button.</p></item>

<note><p>When tapping or dragging with multiple fingers, make sure your fingers

are spread far enough apart. If your fingers are too close, your computer may

think they're a single finger.</p></note>

<p>You can scroll using your touchpad using either the edges of
50
the touchpad or using two fingers.</p>
52
<p>Select <gui>Edge scrolling</gui> under <gui>Scrolling</gui> to
53
scroll using the edge of your touchpad. When this is selected, dragging
54
your finger up and down along the right side of your touchpad will
55
scroll vertically. If you also select <gui>Enable horizontal
56
scrolling</gui>, dragging your finger left and right along the
57
bottom of your touchpad will scroll horizontally.</p>
59
<p>Select <gui>Two-finger scrolling</gui> under <gui>Scrolling</gui>
60
to scroll with two fingers. When this is selected, tapping and
61
dragging with one finger will work as normal, but if you drag
62
two fingers across any part of the touchpad, it will scroll
63
instead. If you also select <gui>Enable horizontal scrolling</gui>,
64
you can move your fingers left and right to scroll horizontally.
65
Be careful to space your fingers a bit apart. If your fingers are
66
too close together, they just look like one big finger to your

<note><p>Two-finger scrolling may not work on all touchpads.</p></note>
