Right-click on Mac
Control-click on a Mac is similar to right-click on a Windows computer—it’s how you open shortcut (or contextual) menus on a Mac.
Control-click: Press and hold the Control key while you click an item.
For example, Control-click an icon, a window, the toolbar, the desktop, or another item. The options shown in the shortcut menu vary depending on the item you click.
Customise how you Control-click: Change options for secondary click for your trackpad or for your mouse.
