Pressing a mouse button and immediately releasing it is called clicking the mouse. Users can move the mouse pointer across the computer screen. Each click triggers an event, like opening a page, or activating a link.

What is direct manipulation?

A user interface technique that lets a user start application functions by manipulating objects. The user begins an action by moving the mouse pointer over an object and then pressing and holding down the drag mouse button (mouse button 2 is the default for OS/2) while dragging the selected object to a new location. The user then drops the object onto the new location by releasing the mouse button. For this reason, direct manipulation is also known as drag and drop.
