BASIC FUNCTIONS OF THE MOUSE

RIGHT CLICK:

 Sometimes abbreviated as RMB (right mouse button), the right-

click is the action of pressing down on the right mouse button. The
right-click provides additional functionality to a computer's mouse,
usually in the form of a drop-down menu (shortcut menu) containing
additional options.

LEFTCLICK: 

Left-click is often referred to as “normal-click” or “regular-click.”

Most tasks on a computer can be accomplished solely by using the
left mouse button. Pressing the left mouse button seems to
simulate the mouse cursor being pressed down on the screen: you
can drag items or select text or open files.

DRAGGING

Dragging the mouse refers to moving its position while holding

the mouse button depressed. Dragging is used in the Plot window
to move text items and to move the plot itself within the Plot
window.
