How do you highlight text, copy and paste using Laptop using the finger mouse touchpad?
I'm not sure what buttons to press / finger touchpad to highlight a few words.
Thanks in advance

Think of the finger pad/buttons as a mouse - the finger pad is the ball of the mouse and the buttons are the right/left buttons on the top.
HTH (I think I've just confused everyone :grin: )

Use your thumb on the pad to move your cursor to where you want to copy from.
Press the left button and keep it held down.
Use your thumb to then move the cursor across (and down) to where you want your selection to end (you should still be holding the left button down while doing this).
When done, carefully let go of the left button and either press Control + C or carefully, move the cursor back to the highlighted section and press the right button. A context menu will come up and you simply select copy.
I'd recommend just pressing Control + C instead though.
