There is a feature in Mouse Settings called “Click Lock”, which not everyone is
aware of. Click Lock comes to handy if you have trouble holding the Left Mouse
Click for a long time, or especially while working on laptops, you need to use
both of your hands to highlight and drag items at the same time.
Click Lock can help you, to highlight
text and drag items without continuously holding the left mouse button, and for
laptops, you no longer need to hold left button by one hand, and use other on
touchpad to move around.
To enable this feature, open Control
Panel, and in Icon View, click Mouse applet. From the Buttons tab, make a check
mark on Turn On Click Lock. You can also modify the Click Lock settings by
clicking the Settings button. Here you can specify amount of time to understand
Windows, if you want to use Click Lock. If you set it to Short length, then
holding the Left Mouse button for a short time will turn on Click Lock.
Let’s see, how to use Click Lock? Once
you enabled Click Lock, and if you want to move this Properties Window to some
other location, then briefly left click on the Title Bar. Release the left
mouse button, and Click Lock will help you to move this window to another
location. Click the Left Mouse button again to drop the window.
Another example is, suppose you want
to scroll this long document up and down. Then you no longer need to hold down
the left mouse button. Just hold down the scroll for a second, and then release
the left click. Move your mouse up and down, and Click Lock will hold down the
scroll automatically. Left click again to release the scroll.
Click Lock can also help you to select
text. Just hold down the left click for a while, and then start moving your
mouse, Click Lock will then automatically start highlighting the text.
If you ask me, then I will recommend
to turn on Click Lock especially for Notebook and Laptop users, because it
could always be a time saving feature, when you need to use both your hands on
touchpad to click and drag, at the same time.
