# Right-Click Requirements

There are a few places in TempoWeave Studio where a Right-Click is either required, or quicker.  Most mice have at ease two buttons and one is designated as the Right Mouse button (they can usually be swapped for lefties), but when we say Right-Click we normally mean the right-most mouse button. &#x20;

## Right-click on Mac

On your Mac, a right-click is called a *secondary click* or Control-click. To open shortcut menus, Control-click an item (such as the desktop, icons, or files) using your keyboard and mouse or trackpad.

### Control-click an item

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 ![](https://help.apple.com/assets/694058E34AF4DEFE100B21F0/694058E5E47399E70903F18D/en_US/f27b507b01789bcfec1129bc6a280306.png) (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.
