MOUSE EQUIVALENT: If done on using a mouse, this would be the very common left-click command. If you are on the Start Screen, you can easily tap on a tile, a shortcut or any other thing that is pinned on it and you’ll see that the app or the item you touched will launch. Remember that this is a quick tap and not a press and hold gesture. Tapping on a program, an app tile, a menu, an option or any executable file on the screen will start or launch it.

Common Touchscreen Gestures and Their Mouse/Keyboard Equivalents 1. If you already bought a new computer that has a touch-enabled screen and is running on Windows 8 but you’re not yet sure what gestures are and how each one of them works then you’ll surely find this guide very handy. Most of us would just prefer to use the keyboard and the mouse in getting through the different parts, aspects and sections of Windows 8 but as you’ll see later, there are some other features (especially the brand new ones introduced in Windows 8) which can only be activated and used using your fingers. Yes! Windows 8 Pro and all the other versions also recognizes touchscreen gestures and if you bought a computer having a touch-enabled screen then you need to learn some gestures that will help you maximize the features of the machine you just bought. Just like the previous Windows versions, Windows 8 has different editions which works on tablets, phones and other mobile devices but the one that works on laptops and PC’s also possesses features that are also found on the versions for touchscreen devices.
These things makes Microsoft’s newest operating system a lot better than the older ones but there’s another feature that makes a big difference and set’s it apart from Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 and it is Windows 8’s ability to adopt and be used even on touch screen devices. Windows 8’s uniqueness doesn’t just end with the Start Screen, Lock Screen, Apps, Charms and its fast boot up process.
