completed the selection. Dragging is equivalent to dragging with
the left mouse button pressed on your computer.
Tap and hold—Hold the stylus pointer on an item for a short
time until a menu displays. Tapping and holding is equivalent to
right-clicking your computer mouse button. When you tap and
hold, a circle of red dots appears around the stylus to indicate that
the menu will soon pop up.
