double-click an object (enabled in factory settings).
● Edge motion, which enables you to continue to scroll even though your finger has reached the
edge of the TouchPad (disabled in factory settings).
● Button preference, which allows you to switch between left-hand and right-hand use (right-hand
preference is enabled in factory settings).
Other features, such as mouse speed preferences and mouse trails, are also found in Mouse Properties.
