Mouse-like vs Screen Mapping

Slate offers two ways to navigate your computer screen.

Mouse-like

Mouse-like, or relative positioning, turns your iPad into a trackpad. The cursor follows your Apple Pencil or finger, no matter where you are on the iPad.

Screen Mapping

Screen Mapping, or absolute positioning, maps your iPad to your full Mac display. The mapping is adjustable, like a pen tablet, and is great for precise drawing.

How to Switch Between Modes

Switch between Mouse-like and Screen Mapping in the Cursor Movement settings in the Slate sidebar on your iPad.
