Right-click on Mac

Modified on Mon, 15 Feb, 2021 at 10:55 AM

Control-click on a Mac is similar to right-click on a Windows computer—it 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.
