At my Ashram, I teach computer literacy (among many other things). Here I wrote about gestures on phones: https://www.youryoga.ru/sadhanaashram/threads/ehkonomim-vremja-zhesty.2558/
And it is clearly already becoming the same on computers, especially in Windows 11.
It can now be stated with certainty that the time when a touchpad could not replace a mouse has passed. That is no longer the case.
It is now very common to hear that a touchpad can not only replace a mouse, but that using it has become MORE CONVENIENT.
But it is important to know how to use it. You probably need to customize it to suit yourself. And a touchpad has many gestures.
Moreover, I have said more than once that it is useful to work with your left hand at times and your right hand at others. With a touchpad, you can do this using different hands. This develops the brain.
If you decide to switch exclusively to a touchpad, you will have to watch several videos and delve into the Windows settings.
You can customize everything to suit yourself. Almost any gesture.
Naturally, using a touchpad also saves space on your desk. Especially if you like working outdoors, for example on a park bench.
Touchpad gestures make the brain work differently. It is somewhat like the way an artist works when drawing. A mouse somewhat dulls the mind with its simplicity and logic. I would put it this way: the touchpad is what makes the right hemisphere of the brain work, while the mouse works the left.
Let me repeat once again: if it seems to you that a touchpad is inconvenient, it means that you have not studied the subject thoroughly enough. You have not configured it properly insettings.
For example, you can assign a key combination such as Alt + F4 to a gesture to close a window.
All keyboard shortcuts:
For example, you can hide the Taskbar on the desktop and move between windows using the touchpad. This increases the screen area... There are countless ways to make working on a computer easier.
Even if you cannot do without a mouse in some situations, you can use both the mouse and the touchpad at the same time. The touchpad's functionality is very extensive nowadays. And let me repeat: it is much easier to engage the left hand with a touchpad. With a mouse, people are simply tethered to the computer by their right hand! This literally dulls them and makes them one-sided.
Of course, you can use the touchpad with both hands, for example when copying text.
This is especially valuable for those developing the Third Eye and intuition at my Mahapurna school.
There are quite a few videos on how to use it. Often, the video is not about the same laptop as yours, but you can watch those too, since the principle is the same everywhere.
