Mac Forum / General / Hardware / June 2006Touchpad Software
Is there a software solution that will enable an iBook's touchpad to allow a tap to act as a click? -- Opinions expressed are not necessarily those of Bolen Books.

It's built into the system, in fact. System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Trackpad Trackpad Gestures -> Clicking, Dragging, an Drag-Lock are all available Have fun!  SignatureGarner R. Miller Clifton Park, NY =USA= http://www.garnermiller.com/ I use Sidetrack to add additional functions to the track pad. Works great. I use Sidetrack to add additional functions to the track pad.

What is the difference between Dragging and Drag-Lock? When I've used notebooks at work, you move stuff with a double click that doesn't take the finger off the pad after the second tap of the finger. Is that how it works? Is there a way to get right-click, e.g. on the right side of the trackpage, or with two fingers, or something other than the Alt key? SignatureDan Stephenson Photos, movies, panos from the Europe, USA, plus N.Z.: http://homepage.mac.com/stepheda With Sidetrack as a replacement driver for the touchpad (alternative to Apple's driver) you can designate a spot on the touchpad to scroll up and down as well as to activate a ctrl-click by touching a designated spot on the trackpad. > >>> Is there a software solution that will enable an iBook's touchpad to > >>> allow a tap to act as a click?
