Is there any easy way to highlight a section of text when using the touch screen? If you are using a touchpad or trackpad, selecting a chunk of text or dragging an item will require you to hold down the mouse button or the SHIFT key at the same time. After turning on the ClickLock feature, it will become much easier to highlight, drag & drop a text or file, which can be easily done using just one finger. No need to hold down the mouse button or SHIFT key.
How to Turn on ClickLock for Easy Highlight or Drag in Windows 11
Previously we’ve covered a traditional way to enable ClickLock using the Control Panel, here is a new method to turn on ClickLock in Windows 11.
- Press the Windows key + I at the same time to start the Settings app. Select Accessibility on the left side and then click the Mouse option on the right panel under Interaction.
- Toggle the switch next to “Click lock” to the On position, and then you can drag the slider right under it to set how long you need to hold down a mouse or trackball button before your click is “locked”.
Conclusion
After turning on ClickLock in Windows 11, you will be able to easily scroll, select, drag and drop without having to hold down the mouse button or the SHIFT key.
