Designating a hole location

Newbie here.  I have done the tutorials and videos.  Having a little challenge when I try to put a hole in a simple flat surface.  
I sketch a rectangle in the top plane, select it, and then click the Hole icon.
In the Hole dialog, I select <simple>, <0.5cm> and <through>.
My problem is the next step, where the dialog box says <sketch points to place holes>.
I can't seem to get a hole location to "stick".  I am using a trackpad on a chromebook.
It doesn't do anything with a single click, and "hold with one finger, slide with other finger" just draws a box that disappears.  The only thing that seems to come close to drawing a hole marker is when I click with 2 fingers and hold.  A circle with an X inside it appears.  But it disappears as soon as I release.
I must be doing something wrong, and I think it might relate to proper trackpad action.  Any advice much appreciated!

    Considering that at least one point is required to use the Hole "wizard", would it make sense to add the button to create a Hole feature while editing a sketch?

    I really like this idea. Another would be to have a sketch button in the hole tool panel.
