Touchpad
Need to press a little bit (instead of touch) for the left-click effect.
The right click is called secondary click in OS X. By default it is click with two fingers. We can change the setting by going to System Preferences/Touchpad/Secondary click.
Scroll: two fingers move up/down. The direction is like moving a paper; i.e. scrolling up will gradually show the next part of the content.
Zoom in/out: pinch with two fingers.
Smart zoom: double-tap with two fingers.
