Best Answer

By default pressing the Control (ctrl) key while clicking will be recognised as a right click.

Out of the box, you can also double tap in order to right click. However, this can get very difficult to get used to if you're switching over from a Mac. The easiest way to right click is to go into System Preferences-Trackpad/Mouse and under the One Finger, toggle "secondary click." Make sure it is set to the bottom right corner, and then it will be just like on Windows.

If you have one of the newer Macs, then just right-click on the mouse. Otherwise, in most programs you just need click regularly and hold the button down and the context-menu will pop up with the available choices.

You can either hold down the "Ctrl" button while clicking or tap the trackpad with two fingers. The latter option needs to be activated in the Keyboard and Mouse section of System Preferences. Under the Trackpad tab select "Tap trackpad using two fingers for secondary click".

If you have set it: simply tap your trackpad with two fingers.

Alternatively if you have not set this in your System Preferences, simply hold down the 'Ctrl' key on your keyboard while you click.
