Dictionary - Translation



hardware To press and release a button on a mouse or
other pointing device. This generates an event, also
specifying the screen position, which is processed by the
window manager or application program. On a mouse with
more than one button, the unqualified term usually implies
pressing the left-most button (with the right index finger),
other buttons would be qualified, e.g. "right-click".
Keyboard modifiers may also be used, e.g. "shift-click",
meaning to hold down the shift key on the keyboard while
clicking the mouse button.
If the mouse moves while the button is pressed then this is a
drag.
