wildboar Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Neither control click nor alt click seem to do the trick. So how do you right click on a Mac? Cheers! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Springelkamp Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Use another type of mouse? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vein Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 To right click with a Mac mouse... click the right hand side of the mouse. You DO need to set up the mouse for it though in preferences IIRC. The Mac mouse has seemingly one button but registers left and right clicks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiram Sedai Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I hooked a regular USB mouse to my Imac cause I'm cool like that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 If by chance your mouse does not have the ability to right click you can use the control key to do this. Just hold down the control key and press the mouse. If you have one of the newer Apple mice with left and right button functions check the Mouse preferences to be sure it's enabled correctly. I use a logitech mouse made for a PC. ANY USB Mouse will work. I have used various brands of PC mice on Macs and they all work just fine.

Guest Paulyboy69 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Well I'm disabled thus forced to use a special mouse and onscreen keyboard combination. I can't right-click with this mouse but using it in conjunction with the oncreen keyboard I usually can with a modifier key (like control-click for example). There appears to be no keyboard equivalent here though which makes things more difficult for me. Perhaps this can be added in a future update? -PN 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDon Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I choose to use a single-button mouse for ergonomic reasons, so I'm familiar with the usual right-click alternatives. The default alternative (used, eg, by the OS) is control-left-click to simulate a right-click. Many games, however, use control-left-click, so they often use command-left-click instead. As far as I can tell, at least in the demo, CM does neither. Control-left-click is used by "go to this spot", and command-left-click seems to generate an unadorned left-click. I, too, would like to have a modifier key alternative for right-click. I haven't found anything impossible without a right-click, but having the full range of possibilities is convenient. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've talked before on InsideMacGames, right? Thanks for checking out the demo. Drop me a line and we'll see if we can get this figured out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YankeeDog Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Works great with my Wireless touchpad. Double finger tap to right click. two finger swipe up/down to change elevation. 4-finger swipe even works to return to desktop and select another open program. Now, if BFC gets the pinch and rotate gestures working, I'll be REALLY impressed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
