Right-click on Mac

Press and hold the Control key while you click an item using your mouse or trackpad.

Tip: If you have a Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keyboard (USB-C), you can use the Contextual Menu key (located below the F13 key) to open a shortcut menu with your keyboard.

You can also set up additional Control-click options for your mouse or trackpad.
