Operation
The mouse works the same as the stylus does and operates on all controls
(buttons, pop-up triggers, check-boxes, menus, scroll-bars, text-fields, etc.).
Here are the components of the PDA mouse overlay and what they do:
1. Apps, Menu, Calc and Find. These buttons operate exactly the same as they
always have. Use the Apps button to switch between application pages and
use the Menu button to open and close an application pull-down menu.
2. Arrows. The arrow buttons allow you to move the mouse cursor over the
screen control you are interested in. Also, don’t forget about the Control Bar
(see below).
3. Click. With the cursor flashing on top of the screen control of your choice,
press the Click button to activate that control. If you are in a text field, use the
mouse to reposition the text cursor (also called the insertion point). On
PalmOS 3.5 and above you can double and triple click to select a word or
line.
4. Control Bar. Press the control bar to activate buttons and controls located
along the bottom of the screen or active window. This is a fast, short-cut
technique that can be even quicker than the mouse and won’t leave any
messy fingerprints on the screen.
5. Scroll-Up and Scroll-Down Buttons (also called PgUp and PgDn). When a
menu is open, the scroll-up and scroll-down buttons allow you to switch from
one menu column to the next with ease. With a menu open, use the cursor or
Control Bar to select an item or use the Menu button to close the menu.
6. Keyboard Popup. Tap on the “ABC” symbol to bring up the on-screen
keyboard for stylus tap-typing. The keyboard will only appear for applications
that accept keyboard input.
