Hmm, what commands are you able to use on the touch pad with Narrator? 
I'm testing the official Windows commands on my Surface Pro 7, and my 
results are actually better on the low-specs tablet than on the Surface.


I'm not finding any touch pad commands that are Narrator specific. Does 
anyone know if there is such a thing?
