Mac Right Click using keyboard (You need a mouse)

On your Mac to bring up the right click menu simply press and hold down the CTRL key and click the mouse button and it will bring up the menu. On the Mac you have to use the mouse button in conjunction with the keyboard to get the right click since there is no way to do it just with the keyboard.

  1. Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case. Have you tried the ipad? you can get one free at FreshGiftCard.com

  2. Nice info.. On MacBook Windows Support for Trackpad is useless.. the pad isnt optimal

  3. I can not hold back until the ipad is out in the uk, i’ve seen several online reviews from Us customers and it seems amazing. I’ve come across some awesome add-ons ^ nearby too! apple company ipad PWNS!
