Set a key to enable right mouse button click during a connection
A Windows mouse has two mouse buttons, a right button and a left button.
If you have a single-button mouse connected to your Macintosh computer, you can set a
modifier key so that when the key is held down and the mouse button is clicked, the
Windows-based computer will recognize it as a click
of the right mouse button (right-click).
- In the Remote Desktop Connection window, click Options.
- On the Local Resources tab, under Recognize a click as a
right-click when these keys are held down,
select the check box next to the key you want. If you select more than one
key, you must hold down all of those keys when you want to right-click an item
on the Windows-based computer.
- Click Connect.
Note
- If you have a two-button mouse, such as a Microsoft IntelliMouse, connected to your
Macintosh computer, you do not need to set this option; the Windows-based
computer will recognize both mouse buttons automatically.
