# ਮੁੱਢਲੀ ਮਹਾਰਤ

ਇਹ ਕਾਂਡ ਵਿੱਚ ਤੁਹਾਨੂੰ ਉਸ ਮੁੱਢਲੀ ਮਹਾਰਤ ਬਾਰੇ ਜਾਣਕਾਰੀ ਦਿੱਤੀ ਜਾਵੇਗੀ, ਜੋ ਕਿ ਤੁਹਾਨੂੰ ਗਨੋਮ ਡੈਸਕਟਾਪ ਨਾਲ ਕੰਮ ਕਰਨ ਲਈ ਲੋੜੀਦੀ ਹੈ।

## ਮਾਊਸ ਮਹਾਰਤ

This section describes what the mouse buttons do, and what the different pointers mean.

A mouse is a pointing device that lets you move the mouse pointer on the screen. The mouse pointer is usually a small arrow with which you point to objects on your screen. Pressing a mouse button will perform a particular action on the object over which your mouse pointer is situated, depending on which button you press.

### ਮਾਊਸ ਬਟਨ ਹਦਾਇਤਾਂ

ਬਟਨ

The instructions in this manual are for three buttoned, right handed mouse devices, the most common type. If you use another type of mouse or pointing device, you should take care to locate the corresponding buttons on your mouse. If you use a left-handed mouse see the paragraph on setting mouse orientation below.

If you set your mouse device to be left handed, you should reverse the mouse button conventions used in this manual. This is normally also implied in most documentation and in many applications.

Some mice lack a middle button. If you have a two-button mouse device, then your system may be configured to use chording to allow middle button simulation. If chording is activated, you press the left and right mouse buttons simultaneously, to simulate the the middle mouse button. A middle mouse button is by no means necessary to use MATE.

The mouse button conventions used in this manual are as follows:

ਖੱਬਾ ਮਾਊਸ ਬਟਨ

  The button on the left side of a mouse device. This is the main mouse button, used for selecting, activating, pressing buttons etc... When you are told to "click" it is implied that you should click with the left button, unless specifically stated.

ਮੱਧ ਮਾਊਸ ਬਟਨ

  The middle button of a mouse device. On many mice with a scroll wheel, the scroll wheel can be pushed down for a middle mouse button click.

ਸੱਜਾ ਮਾਊਸ ਬਟਨ

  The button on the right side of a mouse device. Often, this button displays a context menu for the object under the pointer.

Use Mouse Preferences to reverse the orientation of your mouse device. You will then need to reverse the mouse button conventions used in this manual and other MATE documentation. See for more information about setting your mouse preferences.

### ਮਾਊਸ ਕਾਰਵਾਈਆਂ

ਕਾਰਵਾਈਆਂ

ਇਹ ਦਸਤਾਵੇਜ਼ ਵਿੱਚ ਹੇਠ ਦਿੱਤੀਆਂ ਹਦਾਇਤਾਂ ਹਨ, ਜਦੋਂ ਕਿ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਮਾਊਸ ਬਾਰੇ ਕਾਰਵਾਈ ਕਰਨ ਲਈ ਵਰਤ ਸਕਦੇ ਹੋ:

ਕਾਰਵਾਈ | ਪ੍ਰੀਭਾਸ਼ਾ
--- | ---
ਦਬਾਓ | ਖੱਬਾ ਮਾਊਸ ਬਟਨ, ਬਿਨਾਂ ਇਸ ਨੂੰ ਹਿਲਾਏ, ਦੱਬੋ ਅਤੇ ਛੱਡ ਦਿਓ।
ਖੱਬਾ ਬਟਨ ਦਬਾਉਣਾ | Same as click. The term 'left-click' is used where there might be confusion with right-click.
ਵਿਚਲਾ ਬਟਨ ਦਬਾਉਣਾ | ਮੱਧ ਮਾਊਸ ਬਟਨ, ਬਿਨਾਂ ਇਸ ਨੂੰ ਹਿਲਾਏ, ਦੱਬੋ ਅਤੇ ਛੱਡ ਦਿਓ।
ਸੱਜਾ ਬਟਨ ਦਬਾਉਣਾ | ਸੱਜਾ ਮਾਊਸ ਬਟਨ, ਬਿਨਾਂ ਇਸ ਨੂੰ ਹਿਲਾਏ, ਦੱਬੋ ਅਤੇ ਛੱਡ ਦਿਓ।
ਦੋ ਵਾਰ ਦੱਬਣਾ | Press and release the left mouse button twice in rapid succession without moving the mouse. You can configure the sensitivity to double-clicks by changing the Double-click Timeout setting: see for more information.
Click-and-drag | Press and do not release the left mouse button, and then move the mouse with the button still held down, and finally release the button. Dragging with the mouse is used in many different contexts. This moves an object around the screen with the mouse. The object is dropped at the location where the mouse button is released. This action is also called drag-and-drop. Clicking on an element of the interface to move it is sometimes called a grab. For example, you can change the position of a window by dragging on its title bar, or move a file by dragging its icon from one window and dropping it on another. The left mouse buttons is usually used to perform drag actions, although the middle mouse button is sometimes used for an alternate drag action.
ਦੱਬੋ ਅਤੇ ਫੜੀ ਰੱਖੋ | ਖੱਬਾ ਮਾਊਸ ਬਟਨ ਦੱਬੀ ਰੱਖੋ ਅਤੇ ਛੱਡੋ ਨਾ।

ਤੁਸੀਂ ਮਾਊਂਸ ਨਾਲ ਹੇਠ ਦਿੱਤੀਆਂ ਕਾਰਵਾਈਆਂ ਕਰ ਸਕਦੇ ਹੋ:

  - ਝਰੋਖਿਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਪਿੱਛੇ ਭੇਜਣਾ।

ਸੱਜਾ ਮਾਊਸ ਬਟਨ

  Use the right mouse button to open a context menu for an item, if a menu applies. For most items, you can also use the Shift F10 keyboard shortcut to open the context menu once the item has been selected.

For example, when viewing files in the file manager, you select a file by clicking with the left mouse button and open a file by double-clicking with the left mouse button. Clicking with the right mouse button will bring up a context menu for that file.

In most applications, you can select text with your left mouse button and paste it in another application using the middle mouse button. This is called primary selection paste, and works separately from your normal clipboard operations.

To select more than one item, you can hold the Ctrl key to select multiple items, or hold the Shift key to select a contiguous range of items. You can also drag a bounding box to select several items by starting the drag in the empty space around items and dragging out a rectangle.

### ਮਾਊਂਸ ਸੰਕੇਤਕ

ਸੰਕੇਤਕ

As you use the mouse, the appearance of the mouse pointer can change. The appearance of the pointer provides feedback about a particular operation, location, or state.

The following mouse pointers are shown as your mouse passes over different elements of the screen:

Your mouse pointers will differ from those shown here if you are using a different pointer theme. Your distributor or vendor may have set a different default theme.

Normal pointer.
Normal pointer

  This pointer appears during normal use of the mouse.

Busy pointer.
Busy pointer

  This pointer appears over a window that is busy performing a task. You cannot use the mouse to give this window any input, but you can move to another window and work with that.

Resize pointer.
Resize pointer

  This pointer indicates that you can grab the control to resize parts of the interface. This appears over the borders of windows and over resize handles between panes in a window. The direction of the arrows indicates in which direction you can resize.

Hand pointer
Hand pointer

  This pointer appears when you hover over a hypertext link, in a web page for example. This pointer indicates that you can click on the link to load a new document or perform an action.

I-beam pointer
I-beam pointer

  This pointer is shown when the mouse is over text that you can select or edit. Click to place the cursor where you want to type text, or drag to select text.

The following mouse pointers are shown when dragging an item such as a file, or a piece of text. They indicate the result of releasing the mouse button to drop the object being moved.

## ਕੀ-ਬੋਰਡ ਮਹਾਰਤ

For almost every task that you can perform with the mouse, you can use the keyboard to perform the same task. Shortcut keys are keys that provide you with a quick way to perform a task.

You can use shortcut keys to perform general MATE Desktop tasks and to work with interface items such as panels and windows. You can also use shortcut keys in applications. To customize your shortcut keys, use the Keyboard Shortcuts preference tool. See for more information about configuring keyboard shortcuts.

Many PC keyboards come with two special keys for the Windows operating system: a key with a Microsoft Windows™ logo and a key for accessing context menus.

In MATE, the Windows key is often configured to act as an additional modifier key, called the Super key. The context menu key can be used to access the context menu of the selected item, just as the Shift F10 keyboard shortcut can.

You can also modify the MATE Desktop preferences to use keyboard accessibility features. See for more information about the keyboard accessibility features.

In addition to these shortcut keys, all applications support a set of keys to navigate and work with the user interface. These keys allow you to perform operations that you might normally perform with a mouse. The following table describes some interface control keys:

ਸਵਿੱਚਾਂ | ਕਾਰਵਾਈ
--- | ---
Arrow keys or Tab | ਇੱਕ ਲਿਸਟ ਵਿੱਚ ਇੰਟਰਫੇਸ ਜਾਂ ਇਕਾਈਆਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਏਧਰ-ਓਧਰ ਜਾਣਾ।

shortcut keys application

### ਅਸੈੱਸ ਸਵਿੱਚਾਂ

A menubar is a bar at the top of a window that contains the menus for the application. An access key is an underlined letter in a menubar, menu, or dialog that you can use to perform an action. On a menubar, the access key for each menu is underlined.

ਇੱਕ ਮੇਨੂ ਖੋਲ੍ਹਣ ਲਈ, Alt ਸਵਿੱਚ ਦੱਬੋ, ਤਦ ਪਹੁੰਚ ਸਵਿੱਚ ਦੱਬੋ। ਮੇਨੂ ਵਿੱਚ, ਹਰੇਕ ਮੇਨੂ ਇਕਾਈ ਦੀ ਪਹੁੰਚ ਸਵਿੱਚ ਨੂੰ ਹੇਠ ਰੇਖਾ ਨਾਲ ਦਰਸਾਇਆ ਗਿਆ ਹੈ। ਇੱਕ ਮੇਨੂ ਵੇਖਣ ਦੌਰਾਨ ਇੱਕ ਮੇਨੂ ਇਕਾਈ ਦੀ ਚੋਣ ਕਰਨ ਵਾਸਤੇ, ਤੁਸੀਂ ਮੇਨੂ ਇਕਾਈ ਲਈ ਸਿਰਫ਼ ਪਹੁੰਚ ਸਵਿੱਚ ਹੀ ਦੇ ਸਕਦੇ ਹੋ।

ਉਦਾਹਰਨ ਵਜੋਂ, ਸਹਾਇਤਾ ਕਾਰਜ ਵਿੱਚ ਝਰੋਖਾ ਖੋਲ੍ਹਣ ਲਈ Alt F ਨੂੰ ਫਾਇਲ ਮੇਨੂ ਖੋਲ੍ਹਣ ਲਈ, ਤਦ N ਨੂੰ ਨਵਾਂ ਝਰੋਖਾ ਇਕਾਈ ਸਰਗਰਮ ਕਰਨ ਲਈ ਵਰਤੋਂ।

You can also use access keys to access elements in a dialog. In a dialog, one letter in most dialog elements is underlined. To access a particular dialog element, hold Alt, then press the access key.
