MacBook right-click - with this trick it works

When you switch from a Windows laptop to a MacBook, the keyboard can be unfamiliar at the beginning. Special characters are in different places and there is no longer a key or two. The new touchpad can also take some getting used to if you want to perform a right-click, for example.

How to perform a right-click on MacBook

On a MacBook, but also on newer laptops, there is usually a touchpad below the keyboard by default. This replaces the mouse, so you can easily control your system. However, unlike a normal mouse, a MacBook doesn't have unique buttons for a right or left click. Thus, it can be difficult to select certain content or open menus at the beginning. If you want to right-click, as you would on a Windows laptop, you can do so using a keyboard shortcut.

1. Place the mouse over the content or other location you want to right-click.
2. Then hold down the "CTRL" key on the keyboard. Then click on the touchpad to right-click the object.
3. Use the "Apple" icon in the upper left corner and then "System Preferences" and "Trackpad" to adjust settings for your touchpad. About the option "Secondary click" so you also perform a right click.
4. Note that the touchpad is also multi-touch capable. So you can enable the option "Move with three fingers" via the system settings.
