<title>Click, drag, or scroll with the touchpad</title>

<p>You can click, double-click, drag, and scroll using only your
touchpad, without separate hardware buttons.</p>

<steps>
  <item><p>Click your name on the top bar and select
   <gui>System Settings</gui>.</p></item>
  <item><p>Open <gui>Mouse &amp; Touchpad</gui>.</p></item>
  <item><p>In the <gui>Touchpad</gui> section, check <gui>Tap to click</gui>.</p>
    <note>
      <p>The <gui>Touchpad</gui> section only appears if your system has a
      touchpad.</p>

<item><p>To drag an item, double-tap but don't lift your finger after the second tap.
Drag the item where you want it, then lift your finger to drop.</p></item>
<item><p>If your touchpad supports multi-finger taps, right-click by tapping with
two fingers at once. Otherwise, you still need to use hardware buttons to
right-click. See <link xref="a11y-right-click"/> for a method of right-clicking
without a second mouse button.</p></item>

at once.</p></item>

<note><p>When tapping or dragging with multiple fingers, make sure your fingers
are spread far enough apart. If your fingers are too close, your computer may
think they're a single finger.</p></note>

<title>Two finger scroll</title>

<p>You can scroll using your touchpad using two fingers.</p>

<steps>
  <item><p>Click your name on the top bar and select
   <gui>System Settings</gui>.</p></item>
  <item><p>Open <gui>Mouse &amp; Touchpad</gui>.</p></item>
  <item><p>In the <gui>Touchpad</gui> section, check
   <gui>Two finger scroll</gui>.</p></item>
</steps>

<!--
<p>Select <gui>Edge scrolling</gui> under <gui>Scrolling</gui> to
scroll using the edge of your touchpad. When this is selected, dragging
your finger up and down along the right side of your touchpad will
scroll vertically. If you also select <gui>Enable horizontal
scrolling</gui>, dragging your finger left and right along the
bottom of your touchpad will scroll horizontally.</p>
-->

<p>When this is selected, tapping and dragging with one finger will work as
normal, but if you drag two fingers across any part of the touchpad, it will
scroll instead. If you also select <gui>Enable horizontal scrolling</gui>, you
can move your fingers left and right to scroll horizontally. Be careful to space
your fingers a bit apart. If your fingers are too close together, they just look
like one big finger to your touchpad.</p>

<note><p>Two-finger scrolling may not work on all touchpads.</p></note>

<title>Content sticks to fingers</title>

<p>You can drag content as if sliding a physical piece of paper using the

   <gui>System Settings</gui>.</p></item>
  <item><p>Open <gui>Mouse &amp; Touchpad</gui>.</p></item>
  <item><p>In the <gui>Touchpad</gui> section, check
   <gui>Content sticks to fingers</gui>.</p></item>
</steps>

<note><p>This feature is also known as <em>Natural Scrolling</em> or
