context menu selections

The selections on a context menu will vary depending on context (i.e. where the screen arrow is and where the tip of your finger is on touchscreen devices).

NOTE: A secondary click is often called a “right mouse click” (even when using a trackpad instead of a mouse).

  1. two-finger tap
  2. hold down the control key on the keyboard and click the trackpad with one finger.

You can click the right mouse button on a two-button mouse to summon a context menu.
