In most cases, you work with a pen-and-tablet
input device instead of a mouse. Here are some tips on using the pen:
- To move the cursor over the screen without
activating any controls, hold the tip of the pen over the tablet
without touching it.
- To click a button or select an item,
touch the pen to the tablet.
- To drag an item, touch the pen to the
tablet and drag. Release when you are done.
- If you see instructions where you have
the option to Ctrl-click,
press the button on the side of the pen as you click. For example,
to use X-copy functionality, drag the selection and then press the
button as you touch the tablet to set the destination for the copied
text.
Working with the pen
takes a little time to get used to, but it is an ideal input device
for working with Flint. You can set pen-and tablet preferences
in Flint. See
Pointer Preferences.
For more information
on using the pen-and-tablet, consult the documentation provided
by the manufacturer.
NoteIf you cannot use
the pen-and-tablet, use the mouse to move the cursor. To switch
from the tablet to the mouse while running Flint, press Shift+M+Insert. To switch back to
the pen-and-tablet, press Shift+T+Insert.
