Tracking
The speed the mouse pointer moves depends on how quickly you move
your finger across the trackpad. To fine-tune the tracking speed and set
other trackpad options, choose System Preferences from the Apple menu, then Trackpad from the View menu.
Finger position while tracking
For more accurate
tracking, navigate the cursor with one finger at a time on the trackpad.
For comfort, you can rest your thumb near or along the bottom of the
trackpad, much like the thumb position from previous trackpads. If this
is your preferred finger position, rest your thumb along the bottom edge
of the trackpad. The glass multi-touch trackpad can sense when your
thumb is resting on the edge of the pad.
Note: Resting
your thumb on the trackpad (above the bottom edge) may result in
accidental gestures such as scrolling, zooming or rotating.
- To ensure accurate tracking and gestures, make sure you are not hovering other fingers closely above the tracking surface. This can cause the trackpad to react as if there are multiple fingers being used.
- To ensure accurate finger gesturing response, use fingertips or slightly curled fingers.
- Forward deleting deletes characters to the right of the insertion point.
- Pressing the Delete key deletes characters to the left of the insertion point.
