- 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

      - 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
