How do I "right click" with Lion?

I used to just tap the touchpad with 2 fingers to get the drop down in Leopard, that doesn't work in Lion.  LOL.  Thanks for helping!

When you want to right click to copy text or cut text, Lion changes the initial settings.
CLICK THE APPLE
SYSTEM PREFERENCES
TRACKPAD
GO TO SECONDARY CLICK AND RIGHT UNDER THAT IS SMALL TEXT.  CLICK THAT AND MODUFY ACCORDINGLY.

  • How do I right click with my mouse?

    I dont know if this the the right fourm. But I try to right click while playing my game on my iMac, but it doesnt work! What should I do?

    If you have a Mighty Mouse, you should be able to configure it in the Mouse System Preferences to act like a right click/left click mouse.

  • I don't seem to be able to right click on the macbookair mousepad; how do i right click?

    How do I right click with the MacBook Air using the mousepad?

    On yours it's the SHIFT key?
    Out of the box, most Macs use the "fn" key in concert with the trackpad tap to perform right clicks.
    On all three of my Macs, it is the fn key that is used. The shift key does nothing in regard to trackpad clicks, except It does however make all text selected to the right of the cursor.

  • I wish to put my photo albums in alphabetical order.  Advice was to right click on pane at left.   I do not have a left pane on my i-pad and only have touch screen,what do I "right click" with and how do I get a "left pane" in my Photos folder?

    I would like to put my i-pad photo albums into alphabetical order.  The advice received previously was to "right click" on an album in the left pane.   I do not have a left pane in my photos folder, how would I get this?   Also I only have touch screen so what would I "right click" with? thank you

    I don't have iPhoto on my iPad, so I can't help with that, but you must have looked at advice for a Mac computer? Maybe browse the iPhoto for iOS forum?

  • No right click with evantech touchpad

    I have a Samsung QX410 with a ETPS/2 Elantech ETF1059 Click-Pad touchpad (as reported in Xorg.0.log). I'm getting this to work using the psmouse-evantech driver in the AUR, which allows me to use the standard synaptics tools to configure the touchpad. For the most part, this works. However, the touchpad has two major issues that I can't seem to find a way around.
    This touchpad has the two mouse buttons built into the actual surface of the touchpad, apparently like how macbooks are now.  So, the touchable surface of the touchpad extends over the buttons, which makes it impossible to click on the left mouse button and drag to select text with another finger - the touchpad thinks it is a two-finger scroll touch and doesn't do anything. I tried moving the AreaBottomEdge property in synaptics so as not to include the bottom area with the buttons, but that didn't solve it. This makes it effectively impossible for me to turn off tap to click (which I hate), and still be able to use the trackpad.
    Second thing is that I can't get a right-click at all from the trackpad. Clicking on the right mouse button area of the trackpad seems to send a left click mouse event. Right now I'm emuating right-clicks with two-finger tap, whcih is also very annoying. I can't find a synaptics setting to make physical right-clicks work.

    Hey there, I think this is an issue across multiple distros and not specific to Arch. I migrated over to Arch in the past month or so from Ubuntu. I experienced the exact same right-click issue that you did. Here's a related bug in Ubuntu that others mention similar issues https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … bug/681904

  • How do I right click without a mouse?

    How do I right click without a mouse?

    If you don't like the two finger tap (I don't - it doesn't seem to work consistently) you can asign one corner as a right-click or simply use the control click with one finger on the bottom (which is what I do, usually - just a habit left over from the old days).

  • How do I right click on OLD Apple mouse that is white / oval shape?

    How do I right click on the older version of Apple mouse?
    Please do not tell me to buy a new one, I myself have new mac mini with trackpad, but need to help friend in wheelchair who lives in healthcare facility fix an app on his iMac, need to right click to do it.  We cannot get on internet there to download mouse drivers for a different mouse.
    Thank you in advance for your thoughts.

    Look for secondary (right) click settings in Mouse system preference.  If there are none then the mouse does not have right-click.  In that case you can right-click by holding the Control key while clicking.

  • Right click with 1 Bouton Mouse

    Hi,
    I'm using a Mini Mac with the default Apple cable mouse (1 bouton). How do you right-click in Windows? Ctrl + Mouse button doesn't work anymore...

    In Windows, control-click is similar to command-click in Mac OS X, it selects non-contiguous items. I think you'll have to get a real two-button mouse. The "Mighty Mouse" works, almost any PC mouse with 2-3 buttons works, and so does the trackpad on a MacBook, but a "real" one-button mouse really has only one button. If you use something like Parallels or VMware, they provide emulation of a two-button mouse with modifier keys.
    Of course, since your signature says you're on a Power Mac, perhaps you're not really running Boot Camp...

  • How to disable right click option re-size on table column header?

    Hi All,
    Please let us know how to disable right click option re-size on table column header.
    The issue is that when I right click on the column header, the column is selected and the context menu with options like Sort, Columns, Resize Columns, etc.. is popping. we want to disable column  re-size option.
    We are binding the table values programatically (not using Bc4J) and the Jdeveloper version is 11.1.2.2
    Thanks in advance,
    - Vignesh S.

    Hi Gawish,
    Thanks for the reply.
    This will make the particular column frozen and only work for that particular column.
    My use case is that to remove the resize columns option from the context menu or to disable the right click option.
    Making column selection as none will disable the right click option but we need column selection for sorting.
    Is there any other way to achieve this?
    Thanks in advance,
    -Vignesh S.

  • How to disable right click on SAP portal login page

    Hi,
    How to disable right click on SAP portal login page. Our requirement is one should not be able to right click -

    Best Regars,
    Tushar

    Hi Tchanvan,
    If you search google with "javascript disable right click" you will get loads of javascript code. This will also help you to gain knowledge.
    @Explanation to last post : You need to import standard logon par file in NWDS. Create javascript file to disable right click and then include this file in your logon page. i think login page name is portalLogin.jsp and then deploy this new PAR file.

  • How Do You Right Click On A Macbook

    How do you right click on a macbook. i'm brand new to all this mac stuff. I dont want to have to buy a mouse for it.

    Under OS X you can also set it so that you place 2 fingers on the trackpad and click. This means you can do it with one hand and not have to press any keys to do it. Just go to system preferences> keyboard and mouse> trackpad and check the box that says place two fingers on trackpad and click for secondary click.
    I am using this method and its seems to work fine.
    Hope that helps.

  • Is it possible and if so how can I right click on the on screen touch keyboard

    Is it possible and if so how can I right click on the on screen touch keyboard.

    No it not design for that. I just tried it. Left click only. I recomend that you do not mess with setting with in the software it self you may end up causing the keyboard to malfunction and crashing your computer.I all so just double check our computers help and support On screen keyboard settings. There was no option given for switching the mouse clicker.  Just sticky keys and short cuts are listed. Sorry I hope this answered your question. I would all so not recomend trying to install other software you may find on switching key board setting unless it came from HP company design especially use on these types of computers. You may end up destroying your hard drive and computer all together.
