Additional Ideas for Using the Mouse and Trackpad
Since the mouse (or trackpad) is the primary way to control your Macintosh, you need to know the two most important uses for the mouse:
Point Move the pointer by moving the mouse or sliding your finger on the trackpad.
Click Press the left mouse button or trackpad once and let go.
Start out by pointing and clicking, and when you get comfortable using your Macintosh and mouse, experiment with double-clicking, dragging, and right-clicking. If you’re worried about messing something up, practice double-clicking, dragging, and right-clicking on a Macintosh in a store or on someone else’s Macintosh. That way, if you really mess things up, you can walk away and pretend you don’t know what happened.
