Left Hand Horizontal Finger actionThe opposite to vertical finger action is horizontal finger action. This is a useful technique used in non-fingered chromatic passages, and other similar passages requiring sharps or flats. In fingered chromatic passages, one uses a different finger for each semitone. This gives a neater result, and is perhaps more modern. However, the other technique involves a light sliding of the finger itself ( no other components other than the finger muscles must be used ). Take a look at this GIF animation, which, though it appears a little brisk and choppy, does show the flexibility or mobility each finger should have in a horizontal direction. Some chromatic passages are played with a combination of both fingered and non-fingered techniques.
