:( well i tried the control on the first day and it didnt work, i tried everything that can possible work, the only one i figured out was shift+F10 and that doesnt work properly either in many cases..

what i did now is install AppleMouse little utility that does what you’ve mentioned, ctrl + click, but without it it doesnt work…

for that other guy who sent really rude reply, i need the windows thats the only reason why i installed it along with OSX, some of my crucial programs i need require windows!

Thanks guys very much

ctrl + click ALWAYS works, even in windows (bootcamp)

2 fingers on the trackpad +click is only working in OSX when the option is enabled in the trackpad settings (tab of keyboard/mouse settings). jo have to check the box to enable the secondary click.

When your trackpad is tweaked, you probably will never use a mouse again! Thats how it actually is for me!

(Good news: powerbooks can do it too since Leopard)

HannaH,

All MacBook Pros have a right click function in OSX. Just go into the System Preferences, Choose Mouse / Keyboard preferences and then go to “trackpad”. There will be an option to enable two-finger right click on the trackpad.

To do a right click once this is enabled, just put two fingers on the trackpad and click, easy!

I’m the same! 2005 Powerbook, USB trackpad (highly suspect it’s the same as the MBP models)- and I’m in the cracks! UGH!

I wonder if the debian driver would work with this trackpad… (Debian has implemented a three-finger click on the trackpad I believe- working on a MBpro 15″ just saw it all working including keyboard lights and everything today.)

I have a new MacPro with a partition using Win XP and the Control click does not work for right clicking…

I have the Mac wireless keyboard and mouse.

What can I do?

Well I’ve missed the boat on this threat, but in case anyone is still reading…I did not hear anyone mention the trick i learned last weekend — if you hold down the click button instead of just “clicking,” the right click contextual menu will appear in most circumstances. way easier than control click or a two finger tap. Of course, I am doing this on my 2005 Ibook, not one of those new shiny Macbook/MBPs

Not sure if this has been clarified, but on the MacBook, instead of the two-finger, click the button approach, you can simply tap the trackpad with two fingers and get the pop-up options (assuming you have tapping turned on). This is THE easiest way to access the all-elusive right-click.

I have it installed but can get the right click menu to come up consistently on my MBP 15″. Can someone share some best practices on where you should rest your two fingers and do you have to double tap the 2 fingers? Thanks

Mark, thank you for the link…the quickie installer to put the files on my MBP 15 worked and are awesome. this was the one feature missing from my Mac

Last time….

COMMAND CLICK DRAG or OPTION CLICK DRAG (as SHIFT and CTRL combinations are already used)

Rather….

“Ideally, I’d like to tie a DRAG or an DRAG (as and combinations are already used)”

Is anyone aware of a way to map a keyboard combination to send a “right click” command? Specifically, I’m looking for a way to perform a “right click and drag” function, and not a simple right click. Ideally, I’d like to tie a DRAG or an DRAG ( and are already used)

You might have seen it on Digg already, but "John the Geek" has solved this for us MBP early adopters. Download the missing files (in an easy to use installer no-less) from the OSx86 Project Forum thread. MacBook Pro early adopters rejoice!
