In hover mode, there are some additional controls. While holding the pen on the screen, tapping D-pad left or D-pad right (or A/Y in left handed mode) will click the left or right mouse button.
There is an alternative method of control which doesn't require you to change modes with the D-pad. Press 'Select' to bring up the DS options, and choose 'Tap for left click, double tap for right click'. In this mode, you can quickly tap the screen to left click the mouse, and tap twice to right click the mouse.
Some games also have specific controls that are listed in the table below.
