Tip 3. Right-Clicking

It didn't occur to me the other day when I asked you to right-click on something how silly that might sound. After all, if you don't really use a mouse and your on a mac with a trackpad that looks like one big button what the hell does right click mean?

Right-clicking gives you a few options that you wouldn't normally have. For example, if you are on the web and you hover your mouse over a picture (most pictures will allow you to do this), by right-clicking you will have a little pop up menu appear when you can select to either save the picture, set it as a background, open it in a new tab or many other options. This also works on links on web pages and files on you desktop or in finder.

So to right-click on your macbook you just hover your mouse over something and press (not tap) the bottom right hand corner of the trackpad once. Below is a fantastic picture of me, fill your boots and right-click away.

Remember, different things will have different right-click options and these are often the things you'll have to go hunting through the menus for. So get used to right-clicking and save yourself some time.
