"I'm Jason, previous Mac Genius, and today we're going to talk about right-clicking on a Mac. This is actually something that's pretty easy to learn. If you've got a mouse like this, you're right-click is clearly just the right button. Otherwise, if you just have an older Mac mouse or a Mighty Mouse, the mouse is just one button, so basically what you want to do is, you want to hold down the control key on your keyboard and that will bring up your contextual menu, or it functions as a right-click. It's really as easy as that on a Mac. If you've got a laptop and all you have is a track-pad, what you need to do is the same thing. Just hold down the control and then click and scroll. And that's pretty much your right-click, is just the control key and then clicking it and scrolling. So, as you can see it's extremely easy, it's the control key on everything but a laptop keyboard, it's the very bottom left-hand key. On a laptop, it's the second to left key. I'm Jason, previous Mac Genius, and that's it."
