Selecting text using the trackpad
You can use the trackpad to select text that you want to cut, copy, or delete. You can press
and drag the trackpad to
select text.
Alternately, when you press and hold the trackpad on a word, the word is highlighted. The longer you hold the trackpad, the
selection extends from the word to a sentence, and from the sentence to a paragraph. When you release the trackpad, the
text edit menu appears.
