A quick hover can also be performed by swiping-and-holding finger on screen. This keeps the pointer visible until the finger is lifted.

When in "quick hover" mode (i.e. swipe from left and maintain contact with screen), the shift-key has the same effect as 'left-click' from a mouse on a desktop: it allows you to click on links and perform drag 'n' drop operations.

Swipe finger from the left of the screen (outside of screen), towards right (into the screen) Hover mode.

An arrow is displayed on the left. Clicking the arrow creates a pointer that can be used as a mouse to select text. Deactivate by clicking the arrow on the left. A quick hover can also be performed by swiping-and-holding finger on screen. This keeps the pointer visible until the finger is lifted. Also, pressing space performs a button click while on "quick hover". This can be handy if you just need to access a mouse-hover menu or such. When in "quick hover" mode (i.e. swipe from left and maintain contact with screen), the shift-key has the same effect as 'left-click' from a mouse on a desktop: it allows you to click on links and perform drag 'n' drop operations.
