By "left key", do you mean the left button?  Does your touchpad have two buttons that serve the same purpose as the two buttons on a mouse?

I believe this functionality varies my brand of laptop. What is the make and model of your laptop?  With that info, perhaps we can be more helpful. 

If this is an HP laptop, see http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&taskId=110&prodSeriesId=3688868&prodTypeId=321957&objectID=c01876141 and review the info there.
