<dt><dfn>single pointer</dfn></dt>
<dd>

<p>pointer input that operates with one point of contact with the screen, including single taps and clicks, double-taps and clicks, long presses, and path-based gestures</p>

<p>an input that only targets a single point on the page/screen at a time – such as a mouse, single finger on a touch screen, or stylus.</p>
<p class="note">In contrast to single pointer inputs, multipoint interactions involve the use of two or more pointers at the same time – such as two finger interactions on a touchscreen, or the simultaneous use of a mouse and stylus.</p>
