You won’t be deprived of the convenience of right-clicking menus just because you don’t have two mouse buttons. You can also be productive on a Mac by following the right – click guide below.
Method 1: Control click method
Press the Control key. Hold down the Control (Ctrl) key while clicking the mouse.
This action is equivalent to a right click on a two-button mouse.
After clicking the mouse, you can release the Control key.
This works with a single-button mouse or MacBook trackpad, or a separate Apple trackpad with built-in buttons.
2. Select the desired menu item. After the Control+ click, the context menu (also known as the right-click menu) for the response is displayed.
