I just got a brand new iMac with macOS Montery. I can't right click to close apps or for shortcuts. What am I doing wrong?

You need to set that feature in System Preferences.


  1. Launch System Preferences from the Apple menu or by clicking it in the Dock.
  2. Click on the Mouse pane.
  3. Click on the Point & Click tab.
  4. Check the box next to Secondary click.
  5. Choose ‘Click on the right side’ to enable right-click on a Mac mouse.
