  - Hold ctrl while you click. Or do what pixie said (which is what I do) but you have to enable that feature first. -- nm - ty97 Oct 16, 22:18 7
    - thanks! a helpful, straight-forward answer is much appreciated. -- nm - Guy Oct 16, 22:20
    - Go into the trackpad preferences inside System Preferences to enable the "tap trackpad using two fingers for secondary click" to enable it - ty97 Oct 16, 22:20
    - Of all the reasons Macs are dumb, this will always be #1. - TFox Oct 16, 22:20 4
      - #2 is driving on the wrong side of the road - Guy Oct 16, 22:25
      - The resistance to a right mouse button is baffling to me. -- nm - ty97 Oct 16, 22:20 2

        Though, if you're using an actual mouse, that's an easy workaround...just get a two button mouse. - ty97 Oct 16, 22:22
  - put two fingers on the trackpad and press the button, frank -- nm - chris Oct 16, 22:15 1
    - 2 fingers on the mousepad and clicking does nothing. -- nm - Guy Oct 16, 22:18
