<title>Click, drag, or scroll with the touchpad</title>
<p>You can click, double-click, drag, and scroll using only your touchpad,
without separate hardware buttons.</p>
<section id="tap">
<title>Tap to click</title>
<p>You can tap your touchpad to click instead of using a button.</p>
<steps>
<item>
<p>Open the <gui xref="shell-introduction#activities">Activities</gui> overview and
start typing <gui>Mouse & Touchpad</gui>.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Click on <gui>Mouse & Touchpad</gui> to open the panel.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>In the <gui>Touchpad</gui> section, check <gui>Tap to click</gui>.</p>
<note>
<p>The <gui>Touchpad</gui> section only appears if your system has a
touchpad.</p>
</note>
</item>
</steps>
<list>
<item>
<p>To click, tap on the touchpad.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>To double-click, tap twice.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>To drag an item, double-tap but don’t lift your finger after the
second tap. Drag the item where you want it, then lift your finger to
drop.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>If your touchpad supports multi-finger taps, right-click by tapping
with two fingers at once. Otherwise, you still need to use hardware
buttons to right-click. See <link xref="a11y-right-click"/> for a method
of right-clicking without a second mouse button.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>If your touchpad supports multi-finger taps,
<link xref="mouse-middleclick">middle-click</link> by tapping with three
fingers at once.</p>
</item>
</list>
<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>

<section id="twofingerscroll">
<title>Two finger scroll</title>
<p>You can scroll using your touchpad using two fingers.</p>
<steps>
<item>
<p>Open the <gui xref="shell-introduction#activities">Activities</gui> overview and
start typing <gui>Mouse & Touchpad</gui>.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Click on <gui>Mouse & Touchpad</gui> to open the panel.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>In the <gui>Touchpad</gui> section, check <gui>Two finger
scroll</gui>.</p>
</item>
</steps>
<p>When this is selected, tapping and dragging with one finger will work as
normal, but if you drag two fingers across any part of the touchpad, it will
scroll instead. Move your fingers between the top and bottom of your touchpad
to scroll up and down, or move your fingers across the touchpad to scroll
sideways. Be careful to space your fingers a bit apart. If your fingers are
too close together, they just look like one big finger to your touchpad.</p>
<note>
<p>Two-finger scrolling may not work on all touchpads.</p>
</note>
</section>
<section id="contentsticks">
<title>Natural scrolling</title>
<p>You can drag content as if sliding a physical piece of paper using the
touchpad.</p>

start typing <gui>Mouse & Touchpad</gui>.</p>
