In which case >>


Enable Secondary click (that is, right-click): Press the left or right side of the mouse to perform a “secondary click.” (To enable right- and left-click, in System Settings, click Mouse, then select “Secondary click.”) Or press the Control key on the keyboard as you click the mouse.
