Mouse Operations in Windows 11


                 Mouse is an important input device in a graphical user environment like Windows where the user has to do simple
                 mouse clicks to get the job done. Windows 11 is designed to make the mouse easier to use. Let us now see how
                 useful this pointing device is in Windows 11.

                 Single-click
                                                                                                          click
                 This is  the most common task performed  by a mouse in Windows 11. We can select a
                 program, file, folder, menu, sub-menu, option, etc. using a single left mouse click. Whichever
                 option is to be selected, move the mouse pointer to point to that area and do a single left
                 mouse click to select that option.
                    click
                  click
                                   Double-click

                                   When we use the left button to click twice in quick succession, then, it is called a double click.
                                   We generally use double click to open a file/folder, to open a specific program or application
                                   software.





                 Right-click                                                                                         click

                 To display context based pop-up menu or shortcut menu, we use the right mouse button click.
                 For example right clicking on a cell in a spreadsheet gives you important formatting features of
                 the cell.

                                          release
                   press     move                   Drag and Drop



                                                     Drag and Drop is used to shift the location of a file, folder or a program.
                                                     We select an object and press the left button down. Without releasing the
                                                     mouse button, drag the object to a new location and release the mouse
                                                     button to drop it onto a new location.



                 Hovering

                 Hovering means moving the cursor over an option or an object without clicking it. This action can trigger certain
                 responses from the operating system or software applications, such as displaying tooltips, changing the cursor
                 shape, or highlighting the element.

                         Performing Basic File Operations



                 In a school or office, each teacher has a dedicated cabinet where they organise files for different students or
                 classes on  individual shelves.  Similarly, a  computer  stores  information  in  electronic  files, which  are  organised
                 into separate folders. Managing these electronic files is much easier, as they can be effortlessly copied, moved,
                 renamed, or deleted.
