On Apple computers, due to a design philosophy that tends towards simplicity and intuitive operation, there is no separate right-click button by default. But you can still achieve the right-click function on the touch screen (touchpad) in various ways. Here are the specific methods: 1. Double tapping the touchpad with two fingers
1. Default setting: On most Apple computers, you can use two fingers to lightly tap the touchpad at the same time to achieve a right-click effect. This method is simple and intuitive, suitable for quickly accessing context menus or performing right-click specific functions.
2. Custom settings: Open "System Preferences" and select "Touchpad". Under the "Cursors and Tap" tab, find the "Auxiliary Tap" option. You can choose to set the bottom right or bottom left corner of the touchpad as the right-click area, or maintain the default two finger click method. 2、 Use shortcut keys
The Apple system provides various shortcut keys to improve efficiency, including shortcut keys that enable right-click. You can hold down the "Control" key while clicking the left mouse button or touchpad to achieve the effect of right clicking. This method is applicable to all devices that support mouse clicking, whether it is a touchpad or an external mouse. 3、 Set up through auxiliary functions
For users who need to frequently use the right-click function, they can customize the gesture operation of the touchpad or mouse through the "Accessibility" option in the "System Preferences" to achieve right-click. The specific steps are as follows:
1. Open "System Preferences" and select "Accessibility".
2. Select 'Pointer Control' in the right pane.
3. Set relevant auxiliary function options according to your needs to achieve right-click functionality.
When enabling mouse keys and alternate pointer operations in accessibility settings, some keys and keyboard shortcuts may not work as expected. You can use accessibility shortcuts to quickly enable and disable these options. 4、 External mouse
If you are not used to using a touchpad, you can also choose to connect a mouse with a right-click to your Apple computer. In this way, you can directly click with the right mouse button, which is consistent with the operation method of the Windows system. For the Magic Mouse, although there is no clear distinction between left and right buttons, you can achieve the right-click function by clicking on the upper right corner of the mouse (or according to custom settings).
There are multiple ways to implement the right-click function on the touch screen (touchpad) of an Apple computer, and you can choose the appropriate method according to your own usage habits and needs.
