 Instead of typing, directly some
items canPOINTING
be selected from computer
DEVICES
screen, for example "print" or "close"
button. This can be done using point
and draw devices, such as mouse.
Not only to select, but drawing of
line, curve and shapes is also
possible with such devices. Other
examples of point and draw devices
are joystick, light pea, touch pad or
track ball and touch screen.
 MOUSE
Mouse is a pointing device used to
point a particular place on the screen
and select to perform one or more
actions. It can be used to select menu
commands, resize windows, selecting
actions from screen icons, etc. A
mouse primarily comprises of three
parts: the buttons, the handling area,
and the rolling object.

By default, the mouse
is configured to work
for the right hand.
The left-handed
persons can change
the settings as per
the needs.

motion of mouse. Laptops are
equipped with a small flat
surface or sometimes with a
very short stick for
performing same job as
mouse. These buttons are
used for different actions.
Using left button of mouse
different operations like
selection, dragging, moving
and pasting can be done.
With the right button we can
open a context menu for an
item, if it is applicable.
(a) Click or left click: It is used to select

action.
Right Button
(c) Right click: It is used to display a set Left Button

of commands and available options. Move

the mouse pointer to the desired position,
position your middle finger on the right
mouse button, keeping the mouse still,
click lightly with the middle finger on the
right button
(d) Drag and drop: It allows to select and move an item
from one location to another. Position the mouse on an
object, hold down the left side of the mouse, and drag the
object.

(e) Scroll: Many applications provide scrollbars on right

side of screen if the page length is more than the
monitor/screen length. Instead of using page down key or
arrow keys, one can use scroll key of a mouse to scroll up
or down. Use the scroll wheel on the mouse to move the
page on the screen up or down.

(f) Blocking: Blocking is another way of selecting text. It

is used to select text that needs to be edited or formatted.
Click at the beginning of the word or sentence and hold
down the left button, then drag along the text and see it
being highlighted in black. At the end of the text or
sentence release the left button.

 TYPING ERGONOMICS

Typing ergonomics provides the logistic support

for efficient and effective typewriting. They are
important to attain and maintain accuracy and
speed.
.
 SITTING POSTURE
While operating the computer
keyboard, sit straight, slightly bending
your neck forward. Check your
comfort

at eye level. The
distance of
screen from the

the size of the

approximate distance of
20 cms, which will help
in smooth and effortless
operation of keyboard.
Same height of
keyboard, mouse and

KEYBOARDING TIPS
Rest your fingers on Home row while
typing.

Allow your fingers to fall naturally on the

keys so that each rests on top of the next
key along the same horizontal row.

While typing, release the key immediately

as soon as you press it. Holding the key for
long time, will repeatedly type the same
character.
Press the keys with equal intervals of
time in rhythm. .

Press the keys only with the fingers

allotted for them.

While pressing a key, say slowly

pronounce the character on the key.

Do not take any mental stress while

typing.
mistake at initial stage.

Maintain a balance between speed

and accuracy, as both are equally
important. Do not sacrifice accuracy
for speed.

To gain mastery of computer

keyboard, undertake repeated
practice of typewriting words,
sentences, passages and figures
without looking at the keyboard.
