What does click drag double click and right click mean when refering to the mouse?

Click drag means moving your pointer over an icon and then clicking on it. Then, without unclicking, moving the mouse to where you want to drop the icon. And then unclick. Double click means moving you pointer over an icon and quickly push the left mouse click button two times. Right click just means clicking the right mouse click button. This might be referring to right clicking on an icon. In which case you should hover the mouse pointer over the icon and then push the right mouse button.


Usually appears when you position the mouse pointer on a toolbar button?

AnswerIf you mean when a text box appears with text in it then it would be the Alternate text.Also when moving the mouse pointer over images too.Alternative text serves several functions: It is read by screen readers in place of images allowing the content and function of the image to be accessible to those with visual or certain cognitive disabilities.It is displayed in place of the image in user agents (browsers) that don't support the display of images or when the user has chosen not to view images.It provides a semantic meaning and description to images which can be read by search engines or be used to later determine the content of the image from page context alone.
