Step-by-Step Guide to Touchscreen Right-Click

Performing a right-click via touchscreen on your Asus Vivobook 15 is straightforward, using the method described in the provided references.

  1. Tap and Hold: From the Desktop or within an application, tap on the screen and keep your finger held down. Don't lift your finger immediately.
  2. Wait for the Indicator: When you have pressed long enough, you will see a Square form appear on the screen right where you are pressing. This visual indicator confirms that the system recognizes your long-press gesture as a potential right-click action.
  3. Release Your Finger: Once the square appears, remove your finger from the screen.

This method allows users of touchscreen-enabled Asus Vivobook 15 models to access context menus without needing a physical mouse or using the touchpad.
