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

  <p>You can tap your touchpad to click instead of using a button.</p>

      <p>To drag an item, double-tap but don’t lift your finger after the

      drop.</p>

    <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>

  </list>

  <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>

<section id="twofingerscroll">
  <title>Two finger scroll</title>

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

  <steps>
    <item>
      <p>Open the <gui xref="shell-introduction#activities">Activities</gui> 
      overview and start typing <gui>Mouse &amp; Touchpad</gui>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Click on <gui>Mouse &amp; Touchpad</gui> to open the panel.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>In the <gui>Touchpad</gui> section, make sure the <gui>Touchpad</gui>
      switch is set to on.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Switch the <gui>Two-finger Scrolling</gui> switch to on.</p>
    </item>
  </steps>

  <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. Move your fingers between the top and bottom of your touchpad
  to scroll up and down, or move your fingers across the touchpad to scroll
  sideways. 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>
