How can I perform a Chord on a touchpad in Minesweeper?

Pressing left and right mouse button together is an important skill in minesweeper. This performs what is known as a 'Chord' - uncovering all unmarked squares surrounding a number. The problem is, it's impossible to do with a touchpad.

If we touch the pad with 2 fingers, that's right click. 3 finger that's middle mouse button.

Can the shortcut for performing a 'Chord' be changed? Or is there another way I can perform the chord using a touchpad?


Solution 1:

You have tagged this question with minesweeper and windows-10, but since Windows 10 doesn't ship with Minesweeper, I'm assuming you're talking about Microsoft Minesweeper, which you can download from the Microsoft Store.

In Microsoft Minesweeper, there are multiple ways to perform a chord:

  • Double click/tap
  • Ctrl + click/tap
  • (Touchscreen only) tap

Note that other games of Minesweeper may use different ways to simulate a chord. For example, in http://minesweeperonline.com/ you simply press the Space bar key instead without clicking.
