Right click on a mac

I don't know if this is something that everyone knows, so I thought I'd explain how to right click with the trackpad on your MacbookPro.

Go to the Apple menu, and choose System Preferences. From there, choose "Trackpad". That's the little pad acting as your mouse on the laptop.

Now, there are two ways to right click. You can choose to set up your trackpad to right click when you click the bottom left or bottom right corner by ticking the box next to Secondary Click under the One Finger menu.

Or you can (my personal favorite) tick the "Secondary Tap" under the Two Fingers menu to right click by just touching the trackpad with two fingers simultaneously.

The preferences dialogue for the trackpad has great video explanations about each feature, so I think it'll be a breeze to figure things out from there.

You can also choose to have an application switch by swiping with four fingers. That's really helpful for me.

Very interesting info if I'm ever without my tablet. I never use the track pad on my laptop because I always use my Wacom tablet and pen.
