Mac equivalent of PC 'right click'

Postby vjs » Tue 03 Jan, 2006 12:29 pm

Does anyone know a key combination to use with a Mac that is the equivalent of using right click on a PC?
Thanks in advance.

Pressing CTRL while clicking gives the same effect as a right click.

Or, you could ditch the (nearly useless) one button mouse, and get a proper 3 button mouse.

Best thing, with a Mac, is to get a really big sledgehammer, enjoy yourself smashing up all that titanium, claim the insurance, and buy a proper computer for a quarter of the price.
