How to Right Click on a MacBook

The Control-click gesture is the standard way to right-click on a MacBook. To do this, press and hold the Control key while clicking an item with your trackpad or mouse. This will open a contextual menu with additional options for the item you clicked.

Here are some other ways to right-click on a MacBook:

Tap with two fingers on the trackpad. This is the default setting for secondary click on MacBooks. To change it, open System Preferences > Trackpad > Secondary click and select "Tap with two fingers."
Click in the bottom right corner of the trackpad. This is another option for secondary click. To change it, open System Preferences > Trackpad > Secondary click and select "Click in bottom right corner."
Use a mouse. If you have a mouse connected to your MacBook, you can right-click by pressing the right mouse button.

If you are left-handed, you can also reverse the Control-click gesture so that you can right-click by tapping with two fingers on the left side of the trackpad. To do this, open System Preferences > Trackpad > Secondary click and select "Left."

Here are some additional things to keep in mind about right-clicking on a MacBook:

The contextual menu that appears when you right-click an item will vary depending on the item you clicked. For example, if you right-click a file, the menu will include options for opening, moving, copying, and deleting the file.
