One of this first things I researched I did on my iMac.

On my MBP I use the command keys. I even have and external mouse and still use Apple"C" and Apple"V".

Try getting a multi button mouse. That'll solve that one for you!

Huh?

If you have a Mighty Mouse, you can right-click.


What kind of Mac do you have? A desktop or a laptop?

For both desktops and laptops:

-You can plug in a Mighty Mouse, then turn on the right click in System Preferences.
-You can plug in a multi-button mouse other than Mighty Mouse, and the right click should work right away.
-And yes, as a last resort, you can hold Control and click.

For laptops only:

-You can turn on "Tap trackpad using two fingers for secondary click" to enable the right click using the Trackpad.

RyanL,
Thanks for asking this question. I also missed it and didn't know we could do it with the control key. Slick!
