Is it just me or is there no right-clicking option on the MacBook?
Sounds like you're missing Windows.But to use the right-clicking feature, I cannot with the built in mouse on the Macbook? THat's kind of lame. I must be missing something??
Tap the trackpad with two fingers.
You might have to turn this on in System Preferences first.
Apple menu > System Preferences
Keyboard & Mouse > Trackpad tab
[edit]
Too slow. ;p
Right-clicking isn't needed on the Mac OS. This is why it is disabled by default in the System Preferences, even for systems that come with the Mighty Mouse. Right-clicking really doesn't offer any more functionality, as all of its features can be accessed without it. The right click is merely a convenience and extra feature, but not a necessary function for Mac OS.
'Rely' is a bit strong. I don't discount that they are adding some things, but nothing absolutely necessary. I also agree with the menu bar comment... but I never said that you needed to use the menu bar for everything.I'm afraid I'd have to disagree.
Apple's philosophy of "every command available through the menu bar" has been slowly going out the window.
Mac OS X has slowly relied more and more on context (right-click) menus.
Adding color labels can be done through the 'File' menu and by the "Get Info" window command as well.correct me if I'm wrong, but right click is only used for:
1)choosing a colour label
2)the open with command
3)and to check spelling
