Click and Gestures

You can use the mouse keys to perform mouse actions like clicking and scrolling. They are the same across all layouts.

Besides holding the mouse keys manually, you can also hold the mouse buttons by pressing the Tab key. This allows you to perform actions more easily without physically pressing multiple buttons at a time. To release the mouse buttons, simply press the Tab key again.

Guesture keys are different in each layout.

When you press multiple mouse keys or finger keys at the same time, you can perform trackpad gestures like pinch to zoom or two-finger scrolling.
