Mac – touchpad
by sushiboyz on Feb.11, 2010, under Computer
Many people who by laptops (especially Windows laptops), use the trackpad/touch pad as a means of clicking. By default this is switched off to Mac users, on the flip side it is normally on for Windows users.
To enable it switch on your touchpad you need to head over to system preferences. Go to System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Trackpad. You will notice about half way down an option for turning on clicking.
If you enable the check box named clicking the touch pad will become active and you can start clicking.
There is one other option that I would like to draw you attention to. This is right clicking. Since Macs have a multi-touch interface they can register more than one input at a time. This means there is a second option for right clicking.
If you don’t have clicking enabled the check box underneath will ask about using two fingers and then clicking the button to right click. If you have clicking enabled this will change so when ever you tap two fingers on the pad any right click menu will appear. I think this is really cool.
There you have it. Clicking with the trackpad is really simple it just involves changing a tick box.

I admire what you might have done here. I such as the part where you say you are accomplishing this to provide back again but I would assume by the many comments that this is operating to suit your needs too.
