Edge Motion Properties Page
The Edge Motion properties page allows you to customize
the long distance pointer motion capabilities of your
TouchPad. When your finger reaches the edge of your
TouchPad, the Edge Motion feature allows the pointer to
continue to move until you lift your finger. See Move the
Pointer Long Distances for more details about the Edge
Motion feature.
Enabling Edge Motion
Check the appropriate boxes on this page for the types of
Edge Motion that you desire:
When Dragging
Always
When Scrolling
Customizing Edge Zone Sizes
This page includes a small map of the TouchPad with the edge zones shaded in red. See the Edge Zone
TouchPad Map for a more detailed description. You can adjust the size of each zone by dragging one of the
black resize handles on the TouchPad map. If you are having trouble activating the Edge Motion feature,
you might want to try making the edge zones wider.
Customizing Edge Motion Speed
During Edge Motion, the speed at which the pointer (or dragged object or Virtual Scrolling scroll thumb)
moves can be pressure-sensitive or constant. With pressure-sensitive speed, the harder you press the faster
the object or pointer moves. For this type of speed, check the box labeled Control edge motion speed with
finger pressure.
If you prefer a constant speed for Edge Motion, you can adjust the speed with the Edge Motion speed slider
located on this page.
