Appendix D
Windows 10 Touch Gestures
On laptop or desktop computers, you use keyboard and mouse movements for most tasks, but with Windows-based tablets, you can use Windows 10 touch interface gestures. These are hand gestures that you can use instead of keystrokes or mouse clicks.
Table D.1 lists touch gestures and a description of those gestures. Other gestures may be available for a particular Windows app that you're running, and not all these gestures in the table are available with every app. Each app has only the gestures that the app developer programmed into it.
