Right Mouse Button Under Windows?

without the use of an external mouse? Is it possible? Also, is there a 2 button (or anyother) scrolling under windows? Too bad Apple did not build the MBP with a 2 button mouse. If so, it would be an almost PERFECT machine for me. (btw, a week 6 machine, with no bugs)

www.onmac.net solved many of these issues. crtl-shift-F10 will give you a right. There is a little utility pointed to by the onmac.net drivers page that will give you a right click just like on OSX using the crtl-click method.

There is another keyboard utility that you can download from Miscrosoft for remapping the keyboard. I used it to remap my caps lock key to the delete key. It comes as part of a packages of utilities. The info on how to use this thing starts here. Just click on the keyboard link. The utility is called remapkey.exe and there is some discussion on how to use it either in the onmac wiki pages or in their boards. Once you install it and run it its self explanatory

  • Right mouse button and Windows Vista - 17'' MBP is ignored?

    I am curious why Apple released a trackpad driver update, which enables right button in Windows (BootCamp), but for all models EXCEPT my 17'' Mac Book Pro?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2477
    Since it is 2008 year update, it seems no more updates will be released. Why Apple ignores the users of 17'' MBP unibody?

    for starters, the 17" unibody came out AFTER the update, so it should already have the software update.
    second, right click has to be turned on via the Boot Camp utility in Vista.
    & third, you should be posting in the unibody forum.

  • When using the right mouse button in Yahoo mail inbox (Firefox 8.0.1, Win 7, Yahoo Mail Plus) the Firefox navigation window (Back, Forward etc...) is on top of the Yahoo email menu (Open, Print, Reply etc...). This happens in Firefox safe mode as well.

    This also happened in Windows XP which I was using until recently.
    The Yahoo mail menu is there but the Firefox menu is on top of it. I tried Firefox safe mode with everything disabled and the problem still happened. I tried Yahoo mail in IE 9 and the right mouse button works correctly.

    Can you attach a screenshot?
    *http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot
    Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).
    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).<br />
    If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.<br />
    You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.<br />

  • [SOLVED] Thunar 1.6 doesn't drag-and-drop with the right mouse button

    Hallo all.
    It might be something I've done (though I did delete my ~/.config/Thunar directory before upgrading), but Thunar doesn't let me drag-and-drop with the right mouse button, thus stopping me from copying something instead of moving it, etc. Has anyone else had that too?

    Come on! Read what GordonGR wrote!
    Microsoft Windows, Nautilus, the Haiku Tracker, and probably many other file managers have a feature where, when you right-click or middle-click and drag an icon to a new location, a pop-up menu appears and asks what you'd like to do (Move, Copy, Link). I thought I used to use this feature in Thunar too but it seems to have stopped working in recent versions. Has anyone else had any experience with it?
    EDIT: Here's random blogger talking about the feature in an older version of Thunar: http://jeromeg.blog.free.fr/index.php?p … and-tricks So that's good, I wasn't just imagining the feature.

  • I can not open the bookmarks tab or use the right mouse button in firefox

    ''locking this thread as duplicate, please continue at [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1053467 /questions/1053467]''
    I recently downloaded firefox to my new laptop. I can not open the bookmarks tab or use any of the right mouse button options.

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
    *Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
    If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.
    If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

  • I can't remove Yandex Elements from the Open menu list with right mouse button and Tools menu although I removed Yandex. I think it slows down Firefox.

    I downloaded Freeyoutube downloader from internet and somehow got yandex installed in my computer with toolbars on firefox.Despite I removed Yandex from my computer Yandex elements still stays in open menu when right mouse button clicked and in the Tools menu. I tried to uninstall Firefox, remove yandex registry from windows registry and restart computer, and then reinstall firefox, Yandex elements still hangs there. Firefox is now running very slow compared to the running before Yandex.

    hello, please try all these steps:
    # [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
    # afterwards go to the firefox menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] > addons > extensions and in case there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
    # finally run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] and [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] to make sure that adware isn't present in other places of your system as well.

  • Possible to make folder in right mouse button?

    I was wondering if it is possible to make a own folder link in the right mouse button. I would like to right click on a photo on my desktop and choose the folder in the pop up window where the photo then would move to. Is this possible?

    I'm pretty sure you didn't do it correctly. it works for me. did you read the installation instructions? you have to put the CM plugin into the Contextual menu folder and the preference pane into the PreferencePanes folder inside the Library in your home directory (not at the top level of the drive). then log out/in and it will work.
    And it's a demo only. Can I do this somehow with Automater?
    yes, but why bother. that CM plugin is much nicer than anything you can make with automator.

  • Right mouse button strange behaviour

    Hy there
    When dragging a file from one folder to an other using the right mouse button the normal behaviour on windows 7 is to show a menu where I can choose: copy here, move here or create shortcut here. With my external mouse everything is fine but not with my touchpad. also the right click is not always recognized. Im pretty shure this behaviour is new after reinstalling.
    Here my configuration
    mac book pro 13 inch 2010
    win 7
    Bootcamp 3.1 the updatet to latest bootcamp, neither was working.
    hope someone can help

  • DoDragDrop oddity with Right Mouse Button

    Hi all,
    More experimentation - today with Drag & Drop.
    Everything seems fine when performing this with the left mouse button, but when initiating this from WPF
    with the right mouse button it appears to trigger the PreviewDrop event on the originating object.
    I've tried intercepting QueryContinueDragHandler, which is fired and is having an Action set of Continue - all to no avail.
    Much time with google shows no examples of people using the right mouse button with DoDragDrop, and a single query on this forum in September with someone having a similar problem.  No replies to that thread - hopeing for more luck today!
    So, has anyone successfully initiated a system based Drag/Drop using the right mouse button?  In this case I'm working with a ListView, but I suspect that is fairly irrelevant.
    Events occuring with Right Mouse Button depressed (and dragging a small way) are:
    Call to: System.Windows.DragDrop.DoDragDrop
    Callback: DropSource_ContinueDragEventHandler
    Callback: DropTarget_PreviewDragEnter
    Callback: DropSource_ContinueDragEventHandler
    Callback: DropTarget_PreviewDrop
    With the Left Mouse Button:
    Call to: System.Windows.DragDrop.DoDragDrop
    Callback: DropSource_ContinueDragEventHandler
    Callback: DropTarget_PreviewDragEnter
    Callback: DropSource_ContinueDragEventHandler
    Callback: DropSource_ContinueDragEventHandler
    Callback: DropSource_ContinueDragEventHandler
    etc...
    Anyone aware of any issues in this area?
    Thanks,
    Glyn
    PS: The behaviour is different if dragging something from another application / desktop to a drop target, so it appears to be related to the originating side of things. ie, there is no problem when dragging an object from the desktop or similar.

    Hmm - seem to have found the problem - it is related to the ContinueDragEventHandler!
    Here is a suitable handler for dealing with Left & Right mouse button drags
    You can activate it using:
    DragDrop.AddQueryContinueDragHandler(this, QueryContinueDragHandler);
    private void QueryContinueDragHandler(Object source, QueryContinueDragEventArgs e)
        e.Handled = true;       
        // Check if we need to bail
        if (e.EscapePressed)
            e.Action = DragAction.Cancel;       
            return;
        // Now, default to actually having dropped
        e.Action = DragAction.Drop;
        if ((e.KeyStates & DragDropKeyStates.LeftMouseButton) != DragDropKeyStates.None)
            // Still dragging with Left Mouse Button
            e.Action = DragAction.Continue;
        else if ((e.KeyStates & DragDropKeyStates.RightMouseButton) != DragDropKeyStates.None)
            // Still dragging with Right Mouse Button
            e.Action = DragAction.Continue;

  • DV6-2177 Right Mouse Button (touchpad) not working.

    I've got a dv6-2177, 3 months old and the right mouse button isn't working.  When I right click, there is no context menu that shows up.  I've reloaded the pointing device drivers but it doesn't solve the problem.  Any external mouse that I connect will work fine but the built in right button is useless.
    Any idea what the problem is?

    I have the same issue. It has been driving me nuts for months. I have tried everything, and done a LOT of research. The left click brings on the context menu on the desktop and in a few other instances. The right click does not work AT ALL... even if you try to set it up as a tap-a-touch feature (so it is not the hardware), and also the windows lose focus, until you hit the start menu key, or control alt delete, if it is being really stubborn. I have an HP G7... only 6 months old. HP or Synaptic needs to fix this!! It makes my laptop almost useless and definitely frustrating to use!!

  • Deactivate right mouse button

  • HT4855 Right mouse button suddenly changed

    Using my right mouse button suddenly starts the application instead of activating the options menu. What happened?

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • The right mouse button on my 8740w has failed (clicks but no result, i.e Cut/Copy/Paste/Delete menu

    My right mouse button clicks but no result, i.e Cut/Copy/Paste/Delete menu does not appear.
    I think the hardware has failed.
    Note the mousepd is not the issue.  The right button is the problem
    Left button works fine

    Same deal with me except the right button has failed twice. You may find that if you push on it past the click with a bit more force it will respond. They swapped the hardware and same thing occurred.
    HP should be ashamed that they would put such awful mouse hardware on its flagship product. Whoever designed it should be fired.
    If HP had any customer loyalty they would offer a hardware update and offer it to those who are still under warranty.
    Suffice to say I will never, ever purchase an HP workstation again.
    Good luck.
