How to turn off ctrl-click as right-click?

Does anybody know how to stop the control-click combo from emulating a right-click?
I've been searching, and the only solutions I've seen are people posting application specific workarounds. Seems like there should be a way to turn it off completely.

Control-click doesn't emulate a right click. It's the other way around. a right click emulates a control-click. It's a chicken-and-egg kind of thing. The control-click came first.
Control-click has been the standard way to bring up contextual menus for at least a decade on Mac OS and OS X. It predates the prevalence of the two-button mouse. I don't think there's a way to turn it off.

  • How to turn off mouse click noise

    I am listening to my Itunes on my computer and doing work at the same time. Each time I do my work and click my mouse I hear the click sound at the same time as my song. Is they any way to turn off mouse click sound so it does not disturb my music?

    1. Go to control panel
    2. Click mouse
    Now that being said, I don't have the kind that makes a noise, so I don't have an option, but if you're able to turn the sound off, it should be there.
    If it's not there, check Sounds and Audio Device properties to see if there's an option there. If there's not, you may need to contact your computer manufacturer.
    Good luck!

  • How to turn off CTRL+scroll zoom in the grid view of Lightroom?

    Please help - I'm working with a big catalogue, where I have to do a lot of scrolling and keywording. I'm new to Windows machine (corporate), and having a problem when I want to hold CTRL and scroll down (to individually select more photos), it only zooms in and out...
    Then if I release ctrl, there is always a risk to slip and lose the previous selection. When the workflow is thousands of photos to wade through, it is not fun at all and a waste of time.
    There must a be a way of turning it off!
    Would appreciate any help.

    Hi,
    If you wish to keep the CTRL key pressed and scroll up or down a grid list, just use the mouse on the scroll bar on the RH side of the grid.
    To zoom you need to press CTRL and +/-.
    If you press the CTRL key and try to use the up/down arrow keys to scroll it will increase/decrease the flag status of the currently selected image.

  • Yoga 2 Pro -- how to turn off switching mode notifications -- e.g. "tent mode", "tablet mode", etc?

    Does anyone know how to turn off the notifications that pop up in the upper right corner telling you that you have just changed from one configuration to another -- e.g. changing from tent mode to tablet mode?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Just disable it -
    Task manager > Startup > Click "Yoga Picks" > Click "disable"
    Next time you start your computer no more annoying pop ups.  If you want to be annoyed again you can always re-enable it.

  • How to turn off "Copy Files on Import"

    I'm new to Photoshop Elements 9 and the Organizer.  I'm trying to import my pictures into the organizer but I don't want to copy the file from the network drive to my local Macbook hard drive.  Unfortunately I can't figure out how to turn off the "Copy Files on Import" checkbox.
    From within the Organizer I am selecting:
    File -> Get Photos and Videos -> From Files and Folder
    This opens a Finder window and I can navigate to the network drive, select the source folder, and select the files I want to import.  I just can't seem to figure out how to disable the "Copy Files on Import" option.  Is there something in Prefences that I need to change to allow me the option?
    Thanks,
    Vince

    From the PSE9 help :
    Add files from specific folders
    In the Elements Organizer, from the Display menu, select Folder Location.The folder hierarchy panel opens on the left side of the Media Browser.
    In the folder hierarchy panel, browse to the folder containing the files you want to import.
    Right-click/Control-click the folder, and choose Import To Organizer.The Getting Photos dialog box will report whether files were imported.
    Click OK.
    If files were imported, the folder’s icon changes from an Unmanaged Folder icon to a Managed Folder icon .

  • How to turn off camera-sound (6120 classic)

    i have no idea how to turn off the camera sound from my nokia 6120 classic
    no matter wich profile i use (completely silent, just vibra, etc.), the camera always makes this annoying "click" every time i take a picture
    is there a possibility to turn this sound off or at least replace it?
    thx

    well , you're right, but the law argues that a digital camera looks like a digital camera so it's easier to spot by the person being photographed. also, a digital camera has no other function but to take pictures, so one can't assume it's being used for any othe purpose. on the othe hand, a phone can't be identified as a camera right away. so it's easier to take pictures of unwilling subjects.
    Fear not those who argue but those who dodge

    I've this problem and don't know what to do , i'n trying to follow these steps so i'm asking how to turn off photo syncing and to sync my device

    As the article you attached says, "Within iTunes, select the device, then select the Photos pane and turn off syncing."
    In other words, once you click on the device in iTunes on your computer (with the iPhone attached), you then click "Photos" near the top and uncheck the "sync photos" box.
    Then you sync your device by clicking something in the lower right (it probably says "Apply", but it might say "Sync").

    So what happens if you go to each of your posts here on ASC with this account (assuming you only have one) and click the Stop Email Notifications button in the upper right hand corner?  Is it grayed out for all of your posts?

  • How to turn off receiving apple support communities emails

    how to turn off receiving apple support communities emails on imac and ipad?

    In addition ,you can  go to Your Stuff - Profile- Manage Email Notifications (in the upper right hand Actions box) - either check individual threads to remove or click in the top box which will check all the threads and then click on Remove Email Notifications.
    Also check the tutorial for managing email subscriptions
    You might also make sure that you haven't subscribed to one of the communities by mistake. 
    Go to the community that you are receiving the emails from and the same box called "Actions" will appear there just like it does next to the individual question.  Make sure that you are not reciveing email notifications for that community.  Probably the community  where you asked your question.  Typically that is what causes people to get 100's of email notifications. I think that this is not included in the tutorial so a lot of people miss it.

  • Turn off double click function in iOS 7

    I would like to know how to turn off the "double click" feature in iOS 7 that brings up all apps/websites you've been to.  I pre-ordered a Christmas gift for my son & when he double clicked the button he scrolled right by it!  Good thing I noticed before him...but I am not a fan of this feature :)

    Great to hear that you find the iPad useful for online shopping
    There is no way to turn off the screenshot of the app's last state that appears above the app icon after double tapping the home button. If you are done with an app, you might consider closing it by swiping up on the screenshot that appears after double tapping the home button.

  • Turn off one-click shopping

    I want to turn off one-click shopping, again.
    Where has that disappeared to?
    Isn't there a legal issue here that you can't do that?
    Yes, I am not impressed by itunes 9

    I want my shopping cart back as well.
    After upgrading to iTunes 9, I noticed I had items missing from my shopping cart. I've contacted/emailed iTunes Customer Support, which actually confirmed that 92 items that were in my shopping cart are not in my wish list.
    A wish list is not the same as a shopping cart, and I like the cart feature better; there was less of a chance to accidentally purchase something you didn't want to buy right then and there.
    Overall I have to say that I really don't like the latest version of iTunes. I can't view my entire "wish list" content - there are pages and it isn't as laid out as it was with shopping cart. Actually, that's really how all of iTunes is: more compact, and less spread out (especially with on the home page where you have to scroll through music and movies compared to the previous version where it was in more of a grid, and organized by genre). It doesn't seem to be as user-friendly as the previous version of iTunes, and I too am not liking the blinding white background.
    I really don't like the new layout, especially an album view where the songs are actually listed. (On my computer, whenever I click on the "play" icon for a song in the store, it plays and the timeline is shown as normal. Bu when I click the "stop" icon, the "play" icon reappears as though it's been stopped, but the song is still playing in the timeline...Anyone else have this problem?) And of course the one-click buy as the ONLY option is annoying to. Really don't like the drop-down menu to have to put it on a wish list. Every time I double click an album/movie icon I'm afraid I'll accidentally buy it. And I will not buy or add anything to my wish list until I get my missing 92 songs back.
    Probably the only thing I actually do like is the layout for an artist, especially because it lists all the songs by that artist which could be really convenient for searches.
    But other than that, I'm honestly seriously considering down-grading back to iTunes 8 point whatever. I mostly up-graded in the first place because I thought I'd be able to see movies previews and trailers and what not, I wasn't expecting an iTunes face-lift.
    It doesn't really seem worth it, because the layout seems so horrible (yes, I know it's a change and I could get used to it, but I don't want to, the layout is poorly organized and inconvenient). The new version seems sloppy and unorganized (my wish list isn't sorted properly at all) and hastily put together.
    I'm sorry, I really don't mean to vent or complain, or come across as some whiny brat. It was just a shock to me how much change this new version brought. These are just my thoughts that I've thought the past few days written and expressed here. I don't mean to be so negative and angry, I was just surprised.
    Hopefully it's more respectful than using **** everywhere though...
    Thanks for reading if you read!

  • I'm using same icloud and same apple ID on two iphones. Now i get calls from same number on both iphones at the same time. How to turn off that?

    I'm using same icloud and same apple ID on two iphones. Now i get calls from same number on both iphones at the same time. How to turn off that?

    Apple ID's are not device specific, so when you changed it on the iPad 2 it changed it on the iPhone 4 as well, since it's the same account still. What you need to do is create a second Apple ID (so you'll have two accounts, one for iPhone 4 and a seperate one for iPad 2).
    To create a new Apple ID on your iPad 2:
    1) Go into Settings > Store.
    2) If you are already signed in, tap your Apple ID on the screen and you will be given a few options, one of which is to sign out of your account.
    3) After you sign out, now click the "Sign in" button.
    4) Tap "Create New Apple ID" and follow the instructions on-screen.
