Compare this to your charterers bars,

The abilities he has in slots 1 (strike) and 10 (force leap), both generate focus.

If strike has fallen off your ability bars press P to bring up your abilitiy list and drag it back into the ability bar from there.

Force Leap has to be brought from a trainer.

The Jedi Knight uses a Focus system where the player builds up action points using one kind of ability, and then depletes the resource using other abilities.

The most basic attack named Strike generates one Focus per each successful hit, while Slash consumes three Focus per activation.

The combat itself feels very combo-based; the biggest determinant of successful combat was to string together efficient attacks that build and consume Focus at a constant rate to deal the most damage.

The first few levels of a Jedi Knight revolve around using Strike three times, and then the Slash ability when your Focus allows. This mechanic doesn't change much later on, and it grows in scale as you gain more abilities.

Hello?

I already pointed the attack you need to use

http://www.torhead.com/ability/ew0HZzW/strike

Strike

See what it does, and use it.

That being said, you really want the strike be in the slot 1 of your first quickslot bar

...because the first quickslot bar is activated when you right-click. Only once (there's no autoattack), but even if you've not gotten into the habit from other games of right-clicking to start attacking, having a reliable attack (costs nothing, cooldown no longer than global) on right-click is handy.

...BUT you should really learn to be a keybinder and not a clicker. Well ok not really, but it's just more efficient that way.

Right clicking on mob to activate skill on slot1 has nothing to do with being a clicker. With the tab targeting being what it is in swtor selecting mob to hit with mouse is not that horrible at all. Keybinding does not mean you don't use mouse for anything.

True that.
