Multiple files can be selected by left-clicking in an empty space (\ie, not on a file or folder), holding the mouse button down, and dragging the cursor across the files or folders you want. This ``click-drag'' move is useful when you are selecting items that are grouped closely together. To select multiple files or folders that are not positioned next to each other, hold down the \keystroke{Ctrl} key while clicking on each item individually. Once multiple files and/or folders are selected you can use the \menu{Edit} menu to perform actions just like you would for a single item.\marginnote{When you ``cut'' or ``copy'' a file or folder, nothing will happen until you ``paste'' it somewhere. Paste will only affect the most recent item that was cut or copied.} When one or more items have been ``copied,'' navigate to the desired location then click \menu{Edit \then Paste} (or right-click in an empty area of the window and choose \button{Paste}) to copy them to the new location.

While the \emph{copy} command can be used to make a duplicate of a file or folder in a new location, the \emph{cut} command can be used to move files and folders around. That is, a copy will be placed in a new location, and the original will be removed from its current location.

You can also change the fonts used throughout your desktop through the Appearance Preferences window by clicking on the \button{Fonts} tab. You can individually set the font style and size for applications, documents, desktop items, window titles, and for anything using fixed width fonts. The Rendering section at the bottom of the Fonts window gives you four options for changing the way that fonts are drawn on your screen. Changing these may improve the appearance of text on different types of monitors.

Ubuntu offers a selection of screensavers. By default, a blank screen will be displayed after a short period of inactivity. To select a different screensaver, click on the \menu{System} menu in the top panel, then \menu{Preferences \then Screensaver}. This will open the \window{Screensaver Preferences} window, with the available screensavers listed on the left. When you select a screensaver, you will see a mini-preview in the window, or you can see how it will look on your full screen by clicking the \button{Preview} button. The left and right arrow buttons at the top allow you to scroll through the different screensavers without leaving the full screen preview. To return to the Screensaver Preferences window, click the \button{Leave Fullscreen} button at the top of the screen.

Make sure that the \button{Activate screensaver when computer is idle} option is selected if you want to enable the screensaver. The slider can be adjusted to set the idle time. If the screensaver starts after the designated period of inactivity, you can resume working on your computer by pressing any key or moving your mouse. For added security, you can also select the \button{Lock screen when screensaver is active} option. In this case, Ubuntu will ask you for your login password when you return to the computer.
