Your phone’s touch screen can handle almost everything a mouse does. With Remote Mouse, touchpad gestures let you control your computer naturally, without relying on on-screen buttons.
Below is a quick guide to the most common touchpad gestures and what they do.
Basic Cursor Control
Move your finger on the touchpad to control the cursor. Tap once to perform a left click.
Right Click Gestures
There are two ways to perform a right click:
- Two-handed: using a two-finger tap
- One-handed: using a firm press on supported devices
On devices without pressure-sensitive 3D Touch, a long press replaces the firm press for right-click gestures.
Scrolling
Scroll up, down, left, or right using two fingers, just like a trackpad on a laptop.
Zooming (macOS Only)
This gesture is available on Mac only, depending on system support.
Selecting and Dragging
These drag gestures can simulate common mouse actions such as:
- Double-clicking
- Dragging windows
- Selecting items or text
These drag gestures can also be used to select multiple files and highlight multiple lines of text.
