Mouse Maneuvers

A right click is just like a normal click, but instead of pressing the left mouse button, you press the right mouse button instead.

Right-clicking usually displays a pop-up menu with a list of menu items specific to whatever you right-clicked on. We often refer to this pop-up menu as a "right-click menu" or "right-click context menu."

Note: If you're right-handed, you should press the right mouse button with your middle finger (the second finger from the left). Using your index finger (the first finger on the left) for both left-clicking and right-clicking is not only slower, it may actually lead to muscle cramps or more serious medical conditions.
