How to Right Click On Your Mac

If you are new to the Mac and have been using Windows, you may be wondering how you Right-Click on a Mac? Right-Clicking on Windows brings up context menus and you can do the same on your Mac by using either the Control key on your keyboard when you click, or by configuring your trackpad or mouse to recognize a secondary click.

    Hi Gary, My ctrl button doesn't have any effect (2011 MBP) and the trackpad trick likewise :-(

    Peter: So when you Control+Click on a file in the Finder, the context menu doesn't appear? Remember, it is Control, NOT Command.
