A properly configured touchpad on a laptop opens up an opportunity for an additional functionality that can very much to simplify the device. Most users prefer a mouse as a control device, but it may not be at hand. The capabilities of modern TouchPad are very high, and they practically do not lag behind modern computer mice.
Customize touchpad
- Open the Start menu and go to the "Control Panel".
- If in the upper right corner is the value "View: Category", change to "View: Large Icons". This will make it faster to find the subsection we need.
- Go to the "Mouse" subsection.
- In the "Properties: Mouse" panel, go to "device parameters". In this menu, you can specify the ability to display the touchpad icon on the panel near the time display and date.
- Go to "Parameters (S)", the settings of the sensory equipment will open.
In various laptops, sensory devices of different developers are installed, and therefore the functionality of the settings may have differences. This example shows a laptop with a touchpad of Synaptics. Here is a rather extensive list of custom parameters. Consider the most useful elements.
- Go to the "Scroll" section, the scroll rates are installed here with a touchpad. Examination of scrolling is possible either 2 fingers in an arbitrary part of the sensor device, or 1 finger, but already on a specific part of the touchpad surface. In the list of options there is an extremely interesting value "Scroll ChiralMotion". This functionality is extremely useful if you scroll through documents or sites containing a huge number of items. The scroll of the page occurs with one movement of the thumb up or down, which is completed with a circular motion against or clockwise. This qualitatively accelerates work.
- The subgroup of the custom elements "Scroll section" makes it possible to determine the sections of scrolling with one finger. A narrowing or expansion occurs by dragging the boundaries of the plots.
- A large number of sensory devices use features called Multitach. It allows you to perform certain actions using multiple fingers at the same time. Multitouch has become the greatest popularity in the use of multitouch thanks to the ability to change the scale of the window with two fingers, removing or approaching them. You need to connect the "pinch zoom" parameter, and, if required, determine the scaling coefficients that are responsible for the speed of change of the window in response to the movement of the fingers in the zoom area.
- The "Sensitivity" tab is divided into two aspects: "Control Touch palm" and "touch sensitivity".
Configuring the sensitivity of unintentional touch touch, the ability to block random pressing on the touch device appears. Very help when writing a document on the keyboard.
By configuring the touch sensitivity, the user itself determines how the degree of pressing the finger will cause the reaction of the touch device.
All settings are purely individual, so adjust the touchpad so that it is convenient to use you personally.
