The method of selecting and moving files or objects on a computer touchpad mainly relies on finger operation skills. The following are some basic steps and techniques: selecting files or objects
1. Single finger click: Gently click on the touchpad with a single finger, which is equivalent to left clicking with the mouse and can be used to select a single file or object.
2. Multiple selection of files: - Continuous files: Click on the first file, then hold down the Shift key while clicking on the last file to select all continuous files between these two files- Discontinuous files: Hold down the Ctrl key (or Command key, on Mac) and click on each file you want to select to select discontinuous files. Move files or objects
1. Drag: - Single finger drag: In some cases, you can drag files by clicking on them without releasing your finger and moving your finger on the touchpad. But this method may not be supported by all systems or software- Double finger dragging: A more common method is to use two fingers. Click on the file with one finger to select it, then keep your finger on the touchpad and gently tap the touchpad with another finger (or in some settings, no second finger is needed). At this point, you can drag the file by moving your finger- Double click and drag with one finger: Another method is to double-click the file with one finger (note not to leave the touchpad after the second click) and slide directly on the touchpad, which can also drag the file. This method is particularly useful when moving desktop icons or windows.
2. Using shortcut keys: Although this is not directly operated through a touchpad, understanding some commonly used shortcut keys can help you move files more efficiently. For example, in the Windows system, you can use the Ctrl+X (cut) and Ctrl+V (paste) shortcut keys to move files. matters needing attention
-Different computer models and operating system versions may vary, so the above methods may need to be adjusted in some cases.
-If your touchpad supports multi touch functionality, using two or more fingers for operation may be more efficient and convenient.
-When performing complex file operations, it is recommended to use mouse or keyboard shortcuts, as the touchpad may result in inaccurate selection or movement due to slight finger movements.
By using reasonable finger operations and shortcut keys, you can easily select and move files or objects on the computer touchpad.
