Right click work around !!!solved!!!

Hi
I am new to apple, my mouse has no right click button, how do I spell check in firefox.
Message was edited by: peebly

Hello,
In Firefox 1.5 I wasn't getting an auto spell check, but in Firefox 2 mistakes are red underlined and corrected with a right click.
The best way to setup right click has been described above but you can also hold down the ctrl key and left click to get a right click.

Wacom Intuous Pro Stylus right-click working inconsistently in Lightroom 5.5

I have an Wacom Intuous Pro tablet and stylus, and have the front button configured to be a right-click.
I'm having a problem in LR 5.5 (64-bit) where the right-click function doesn't work sometimes, but it will work in Photoshop CC (14.2.1, 64-bit) just fine.
I'll tap the button on the stylus on a photo and nothing happens. I then do the same thing on the Windows 8 taskbar and right click works as expected. I got to Photoshop and right-click works fine also. So it's definitely something specific with Lightroom. Even more weird, is when this occurs, if I then double tap the stylus button, it zooms in, so this means that the right click is just acting as a left-click.
I thought this was a Wacom issue, but since it works everywhere else in Windows, including Photoshop, the problem seems isolated to LR so I'm skeptical it's a Wacom bug. I used to have this problem in LR 5, but it went away at some point, but can't remember when or why.
As mentioned above, the right-click function does work sometimes.. it's inconsistent and frustration.
Any ideas?

Hi,
I'm not sure if it is Windows, Adobe or Wacom but the solution I have is:
Open the Control Panel
Go to "Hardware & Sound", "Pen and Touch"
Choose the "Right-Click" entry on the first panel, click settings and disable it
Then turn "Flicks" off altogether on the next panel and apply the changes
I believe it is the press and hold setting for the right click that causes the interference because it also stops you from being able to drag the sliders in other applications like Capture One Pro 7.
Hope it works for you.

I can't get my iMac to respond only the right click works

I can't get my iMac to restart itt seems to start Rita back where it was when I restart and my mouse is not responding right. I can't get it to click regularly. Only the right click works

Which mouse and iMac do you have? Over the past 4 years or so there have been at least 3 mice that work on Intel based iMacs.
The first place to check is the mouse's preferences which are at System Preferences - Mouse.
If they are set correctly then do a SMC reset and see if that solves the issue:
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Bluetooth Mighty Mouse - right click works for a while and then stops...

I recently bought a wireless Mighty Mouse, installed all the supplied software and paired it with my Macbook Pro. I've set up the right click as Secondary button and have been using it without any problems.
Then recently I've noticed that after using it for a while (in general applications like Aperture, Firefox etc), the right click will perform a Primary (left) click instead. Even if I take my hand completely off the mouse and click on the right side, it will perform a left click function. If I switch the Mighty Mouse off and back on, it starts to work normally again.
Is this a general issue with these mice? Or is mine just faulty? I can't see that it's a hardware fault as it returns to normal when I turn off/on the mouse. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

My new MacBook Pro and Wireless MM just arrived Friday and I spent Saturday transferring files from my PB G4 and installing Parallels/WinXP.
My Mighty Mouse worked fine initially, but then the Right Click (Secondary) reverted to Left Click (Primary). I reversed the settings to a "Left-handed" setup, the settings stuck. But the right button would not hold a Secondary setting.
I then paired the PB G4's Wireless Mighty Mouse (that I've had for several months) with the MacBook Pro - same issue surfaced. Both mice work consistently as represented with the PowerBook AND my IOGear bluetooth mouse works perfectly with both the PB and MBP (although the Mouse Preference Pane that comes up for the IOGear mouse is a reduced feature set that does not allow any additional button programning.)
I think it's a Preference Pane code issue. If the others who have posted here have ALSO installed Parallels, then the Parallels tools may be creating conflicts.

Trackpad won't move curser mouse does. Left and right click working fine

Hello everyone,
I have a problem. Out of nowhere my trackpad won't move the curser anymore. Connecting a USB mouse does. Left and right click are still working fine. Any ideas of how to fix it?
Thanks
Dave

Hey there DaveDaMac,
It sounds like your built in track pad is not responding at all, but your USB mouse works without issue. I recommend the troubleshooting in this article for you named:
Intel-based Mac notebooks: Troubleshooting unresponsive trackpad issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1248
Try disconnecting the MagSafe connector from the computer and check the trackpad function. If the trackpad becomes responsive again, improper grounding may be the issue.
If a two-prong AC plug is being used with the power adapter, try using the three-prong power cable that shipped with your computer and plug it into a grounded outlet.
If the issue persists, make sure the third prong is present and do not use an adapter to enable the three-prong adapter to be used in a two-prong outlet. Note that the ground in the three-prong outlet may not be connected. This is common in older homes or buildings with replaced outlets. In these situations, the three-prong power cable will not improve trackpad responsiveness.
If a grounded outlet is not available, rest your palm on the palm rest when using the trackpad. This should enable the trackpad to function properly.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Why doesn't right-click work in Bookmarks menu anymore? Why do I have to open some Bookmark manager to edit/delete Bookmarks?!

Until this 29 update, I was able to simply right-click in the Bookmarks menu on any Bookmark and do whatever I wanted like open it's properties to edit it or simply delete it straight from that menu. Now, suddenly, that right-click menu is all blanked out. It's only usable when you go to the Bookmark manager. Why was it necessary to forbid people from deleting and editing Bookmarks from the Bookmark menu?! Why do I have to now go through some extra steps of opening the Bookmark manager then finding the Bookmark to edit or delete it when I could have done all that straight from the menu?!

HotSync connection issue with Palm Treo 800w Sprint work around Solved !!!

I just switched from my Treo Palm Treo 755p to the The Palm Treo 800w. For the life of me I couldn't figure out why though everything was connected via USB. The Microsoft ActiveSync would work once or twice then nothing . Though I knew it was connected the charge wouldn't work either.
Here is my work around and it never fails.
If you see the Red light or Green light on your phone while connected Via the USB that means you are connected you can sync and charge.
If you don't see the red/green light on or see the phone in My computer > Mobile devices.
Plug your phone in via the USB. While it's plugged in take the battery out . Then put the battery back in. You know you are good when you see the red light or green light turn on. Red light means charging Green light means its fully charged.
I have connected every time using the take out the battery method and my Treo 800w charges / Microsoft syncs the works!!
Hope this helps I tried everything before I figured this out.

How do I add entries to PCManFM's right-click menu? [SOLVED]

Hello there,
Is there a way to customize PCManFM right-click menu? I'd like to add custom entries, for instance:
right click a folder and choose "Start slideshow" to get the following command executed: "qiv -smt <selected_folder>"
Can this be done? How?
This could be a system-wide setting or a user setting, I don't really care.
Thanks for any guidance.

Adobe Premiere CS6 smooth dissolve and opacity work around solved

I have heard a lot of people having problems getting a smooth transition dissolve or opacity change. The last 10% of your dissolve seems to abruptly end.
Well until adobe fixes this problem i have a workaround that will make it smooth.
the clip you want to dissolve you make a key frame on the opacity and make it 100% and then where you want it to end you make a key frame and set it to a low opacity like 10% or less
so you can barely see it, ( depending on how dark or light your clip is) then you make a third keyframe about 6-9 frames down the timeline to bring it down to 0%.
This will make a nice smooth fade out at the end.
Play with the settings but that third key frame is key to extend that last little bit of fade a few frames longer.
i sometimes will even extend that keyframe about 10 frames further down the timeline for a super smooth dissolve.
Hope this helps!

I'm on a Lenovo T440p. I once got Ubuntu installed on this machine where right click worked properly so I highly suspect it is not a hardware issue.

Instead of using execution statements involving
synclient
on startup of X I'm now using /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf for configuring my settings. This solved the problem.
I realized by the way that in my former setup no matter how many fingers I used for pressing down the ClickPad it did always perform a normal click in addition. That is why the context menu disappeared right away: It performed a mixture of a right and left click.
@Head_on_a_Stick: No Problem, your attempt to help is much appreciated

Right click is not working in Web dynpro explorer

Hi All,
I have SAP net weaver developer studio 2.0.9.
when i right click on web dynpro components, to create a component, the context menu is not coming, right click is not working.
though right click works fine in diagram view and outline view.
Please suggest what might have happened? and how to get back the settings.
Cheers,

Hello Srinivas,
Try closing and opening NWDS. If you still see the same problem, simple solution for this is, Just Change Workspace to new folder.
Changing workspace - Window -> Workbench -> workspace -> give new path.
Close nwds and open it again. It should solve the problem.
Thanks,

"Save link as" in Right-click Context menu is not working properly.

Firefox 17: In a Google search, when I right click on a .pdf link, the popup window automatically gives a "url" filename and "Firefox Document" as filetype. Previously, the filename would be whatever it was on the website (ie. "filename.pdf") and the filetype would be "Adobe Acrobat Document".
I know this problem has less to do with Firefox and more to do with JavaScript, because the problem disappears if you disable JavaScript (Tools -- Options -- Content -- uncheck "Enable JavaScript"). What's happening is that JavaScript is somehow altering the link from a purely .pdf link to something else -- perhaps encasing the link inside a set of commands, and the computer is trying to save the command string instead of recognizing the link for what it is. When JavaScript is disabled in Google searches, the highlighted "[PDF]" link no longer appears in front of the link itself, and the "Save link as" function on the right-click works properly.
Any JavaScript junkies want to try their hand at creating a workaround? One that ensures that the reference created by the right-click context menu matches exactly what the filename is for the website?

The problem is that Google has an onmousedown attribute added to the links that modify a link if you click or right-click a result link to make the link point to a safe browsing check on the Google server.<br />
You can see that if you hover a link and you will notice that after you have (right) click a link the the URL changes to www.google.com/url?xxxxx.
You can use this bookmarklet to remove the onmousedown attributes.
<pre><nowiki>javascript:(function(){var e=document.querySelectorAll('*[id="search"] a[onmousedown]'),E,i;for(i=0;E=e[i];i++){E.removeAttribute('onmousedown')}})()</nowiki></pre>

Right Click not working in published output. ??

I'm relatively new to Captivate, and NOT a developer, so please bear with me on this.
I'm recording a training video of a basic application and have a need to use a right-click to bring up a menu. This is a requirement of the app, so I need Captivate to provide the same functionality to avoid confusing the user going through the training video. I have the Click Box options set to Right Click, and it works in the Preview. However, when I Publish the finished video, the right-click does not work - only a left-click will advance to the next slide.
I found a few threads discussing issues with the right-click, but all of them were dealing with permissions issues. I'm saving the output to my desktop (Windows XP) and am launching the HTM file to confirm the video is working properly, so I don't see how a permissions issue would come into play. ?? If it is a permissions issue, how do I fix it within Captivate so that the end user can run this from any PC/MAC, where I have no control of their permissions?
Any suggestions or tips on how to get the right-click working in the final product are greatly appreciated.
D

Hi there
The right-click function relies on JavaScript. JavaScript may also be influenced by the Flash Security Settings.
Please try what is outlined in the link and see if your right-click suddenly begins working. Also note that you don't need to adjust these settings if you are serving content from a server. You only have to worry about it if you are testing by running from your local C drive.
Cheers... Rick

Logic Pro X. Right-click not working in the piano-roll editor. And colour issues.

I usually use the right mouse-button to open the toolbox under the cursor but this doesn't appear to work within the piano-roll edit window in Pro X. Is this the same for everyone? The right-click works in all other windows. Seems pretty odd.
Also is it just me who finds the near-black background very oppressive? I worked in front of Pro X for several hours yesterday and was left wishing I could change the background colour of the main and edit windows. Is there any way to do this?
I also really need to be able to access custom colours for the colour palette as the new palette doen't sit at all well with me. Any ideas anyone? The manual states that if you double-click on a colour it should open the colour editor but it doesn't.....

It turns out that if you assign the right button to 'Open Tools and Shortcut Menu', it works in the piano roll. It's obviously a bug which should get ironed out.
The other thing that's driving me nuts though is that when I change tools in the main window, the pointer still appears like an arrow, even though its function has changed. When I pass it over a region, it usually changes to to the correct icon - but not always! Aarghhh I'm going back to Pro 9 for now......
