Right-clicking on a Mac computer

Right-clicking on a Mac™ computer:

• On Mac computers with a one-button mouse, hold down the ctrl button on the keyboard and click the mouse. The ctrl and click combination produces the same result as a right-click (also called Control-click). When the shortcut menu appears, release the key.
• If you use a laptop, enable the two-finger click on your trackpad. Open System Preferences and click Trackpad. Select For secondary clicks, place two fingers on the trackpad then click the button". If you use an older version of Mac OS, select Tap trackpad using two fingers for secondary click. To simulate a right-click, place two fingers on the trackpad and click the trackpad button.
• Mac OS supports any standard USB two-button mouse. The mouse should work immediately.
• For special mouse models, consult the hardware manual.

Throughout the help, right-click is a synonym for for holding down the control key on the keyboard and clicking the mouse.
