                  To work on a computer, apart from a keyboard, we make use of a mouse. Mouse is
                  an input device and has different actions. Let us learn about them.

                      MOUSE

                  A mouse is a pointing device. It displays an arrow on the

                  screen, called a pointer. Let us study about various actions
                  of a mouse.
                                                                                                    Computer mouse
                      ACTIONS OF A MOUSE

                     click


                                         Single-click or Click

                                         Releasing the left button of the mouse after pressing it once is
                                         called single-click. A single-click is used for selecting an item.


                        Single-click                                                                    click
                  Double-click                                                                        click


                  Releasing the left button of the mouse after pressing it twice
                  quickly is called double-click. A double-click opens the selected
                  item.
                                                                                                         Double-click

                                      Right-click

                                      Releasing the right button after pressing it once is called
                                      right-click. It displays a list of properties of the selected item.
