Right-click on Mac

Control-click on a Mac is similar to right-click on a Windows computer, and is how you open shortcut (or contextual) menus on a Mac.

  • Control-click: Press and hold the Control key while you click an item.

    For example, Control-click an icon, a window, the toolbar, the desktop, or another item. The options shown in the shortcut menu vary depending on the item you click.

  • Customize how you Control-click: Change options for your trackpad or for your mouse.
