Option click with mouse?

This is my last question for now. I'm playing an online puzzle challenge at Gold Rush. And for the puzzle for Mac users, you need to option click to alternate the puzzle pieces. How do you option click with the Mighty Mouse?

Hi, Kirsten.
Same as with any other mouse: hold the Option key, then click with mouse button one, i.e. the same button you would use to perform a single click, usually the left mouse button if you've set up your mouse as right-handed.
Good luck!

  • [SOLVED] Can't left-click with mouse (but I can on a tablet)

    On a recent update, I noticed that my desktop would not detect my mouse's left-click.  It correctly detects middle-click and right-click, however.  On the other hand, I can left-click with a tablet.
    How can I make it so that it will detect both the mouse and tablet's left-clicks?
    I'm using evdev for the mouse, and linuxwacom-bamboo for tablet drivers.
    Edit: My bad, it was a hardware problem!  Bought a new mouse to fix it.
    My xorg.conf.d configurations are:
    # Catch-all evdev loader for udev-based systems
    # We don't simply match on any device since that also adds accelerometers
    # and other devices that we don't really want to use. The list below

  • Unable to click with mouse after login to a specific account. Other account works

    After a reboot of the pc I wasn't able to click with the mouse or get any response while doing so. The pointer changes to one-click mode when hovering over icons. Neither right or left click seems to work. Noticed that the sticky notes(which I have running
    at startup) had the pointer flashing like it was ready to get text typed in. Tried to bring up task manager via ctrl-+alt+delete to shut procceses down, but couldn't get that running because of said problem with mouse.
    Logged in to a different account and everything works. Created a new admin account and everything works. Disabled sticky notes at startup, ran latest updates from windows update and rebooted. No luck problem is the same for that one account. So, any suggestions?

    Hi,
    from the symptoms in the user session i would guess this is an issue related to a key that is stuck or a problem with some driver. But the fact it works in another account ensures it is a problem in the userprofile. ther might be some executable launched
    that disturbes.
    probably the easiest solution would be to create a new account and mover the userdata to the new profile.
    but you should also be able to find the disturbing application by checking the startup locations, probably best with some tool like sysinternal's autoruns.
    I would also recommend checking teh system for malware if it odly behaves like this.

  • Right click with mouse in Word 2013 does not give the list with translate and synonyms etc

    since i upgraded to windows 8.1 right click on words in word 2013 does not open the regular list where you can tap on synonyms and translate. 
    it does work if i touch the screen.
    i moved to mouse mode but it does not help 
    can anyone help...
    i am starting to hate windows 8.1 and word 2013 because of this feature not working

    Hi
    I have tested in my computer and it worked well.
    Normally when we type a wrong spelling, right clicking the word does not give a list with translate and synonyms.
    Check to make sure your spelling is right.
    if the issue persists, Start Word in safe mode to check the issue:Hold "Ctrl" key and click into the program.
    It is also recommended that you do a repair for your Office suites in

  • Unable to click with mouse in Firefox

    I am unable to click in Firefox unless I go to another browser and back to Firefox each time a new page opens
    == This happened ==

  • User Control screwed up but unable to click on icons with Mouse on OSX 10.8

    I dont know what has happened, but today user control with mouse and trackpad on my macbookpro is screwed up.
    I rebooted twice, it made no difference.
    The trackpad moves the cursor okay, but I cannot get tapping or clicking the trackpad have any effect.
    With my mouse I can access menubars, but the left and right buttons are swapped round, or it might be that the right button is acting as both left and right button.
    I then went to the System Preferences screen to try and fix the mouse preferences, but clicking on any icon with left or right button has no effect.
    I then found no icons of that type seem to work, I thought Id try and just update OSX with any updates available hoping that would fix anything that has got corrupted. But although I can get to the Appstore Update screen and there are two updates available I cannot get the updates installed. Clicking with the left button does nothing, clicking with right button changes the colour of the button slightly so the bottom half is in gray but nothing else happens.
    As there is no menu option to install the updates I thought I tried and install the updates using the keyboard but I cannot work out how to do this.
    Does this sound like a hardware or software problem

    Accordion or Tabbed panel should to it, with click and open container.
    Please provide site url where this does not work, also if you can provide an example where we can see the exact action then it would help us.

  • Character movement with mouse click

    This will be for an MMO online game/ world. So it needs to be good.
    Hi guys. I'm really happy I got this to work as I'm a neebie to AS3 but getting to love its simplicity. My problem is not my AS3 but my maths.
    I click the mouse and the movieclip runs to the mouse's x position. However, it only goes in one direction ie: downwards and to the right.
    I need to it go in all directions depending on where I click. I suppose it has to do with comparing x and y positions of both mouse and mc - ie: if one is bigger than the other then you can tell where both are positioned and then put the code in. Am I right and does anybody hace a little code like this flying around for me?
    import flash.display.Stage;
    import flash.events.Event;
    stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myClickReaction);
    function myClickReaction (e:MouseEvent):void{
        sunny.gotoAndPlay("runback")
        //sunny.x = root.stage.mouseX
        //sunny.y = root.stage.mouseY
        addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame);
    function onEnterFrame(event:Event):void {
                 var xDistance:Number
                 var yDistance:Number
                //mc increments by 5 until it reaches mouse - mc (ie the distance)
                sunny.x += 5;
                sunny.y += 5;
                xDistance = root.stage.mouseX - sunny.x
                trace (xDistance)
                if (xDistance <= 0 ) {
                trace("works")
                sunny.gotoAndPlay("static")
                removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame);

    Thanks for contacting but the code more or less works already apart from the comments below.
    The position I get comparing mousex position and movieclip position. BUT it goes loopy when I move the mouse around. ie: I need the coordinates when I click and not a variable that changes while I move mouse around.
    I will check it out now.
    import flash.display.Stage;
    import flash.events.Event;
    stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myClickReaction);
    function myClickReaction (e:MouseEvent):void{
    //sunny.x = root.stage.mouseX
    //sunny.y = root.stage.mouseY
    addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame);
    function onEnterFrame(event:Event):void {
                 var xDistance:Number
        var yDistance:Number
       //mc increments by 5 until it reaches mouse - mc (ie the distance)
                // if you click to the right of sunny then mouse is > than sunny.x so x = 5
       if (root.stage.mouseX > sunny.x) {
        sunny.gotoAndPlay("walk right")
        sunny.x += 5;
        sunny.y += 0;
        xDistance = root.stage.mouseX - sunny.x
        //if (xDistance <= 0 ) {
        //sunny.gotoAndPlay("static")
        //removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame);

  • After several time installed CS6 and a clean Windows 8.1 bridge still pause after selecting a picture or right click with button mouse.

    What is the problem:
    When I choose a picture in Bridge I have to wait 20 till 30 seconds (sometimes more).

  • Can't Download Images with Right-Click on Mouse

    I can't download images by right-clicking my mouse, like I do on my PC. For example, check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Dakota and look at the images of the flag, state seal and map near the top right corner of the page...
    When I place my cursor over any of these images on either my PC or my MacBook Pro, my cursor changes to a hand, indicating that the images are hyperlinked. If I right-click on an image, I can choose a SAVE AS command on my PC, but nothing happens on my MacBook Pro.
    If I left-click on a linked image, it simply zooms in, rather than taking me to another page. I'm using a small Kensington mouse.
    This could be a Firefox problem. I think I recall downloading some sort of extension that allows you to zoom in on images, and I suspect it's more or less taken over. If so, I'll have to track down the name of the extension and try and zap it.
    But I thought I'd check here first, just to see if other people have this same problem - or if you can suggest alternate strategies for downloading images.
    Thanks.

    Well, I found a novel solution - it's called Safari.
    I'll post on the Firefox forum to figure out why I
    can't download images with it, but it seems to work
    just fine with Apple's native browser. Thanks for all
    the tips.
    I just tried it, but I am using firefox 2.0 beta and I had no problems. Not sure what's going on. Have you tried any other pages or pics besides this one, which I don't think it would matter just wondering.
