Hi
I'm a reasonably experienced Mac user, but there is one thing that I'm yet to figure out: how to invoke the right click menu using the keyboard only.
I have a MBP, so I understand that I can just tap the trackpad area with 2 fingers, however I'd love to be able to tap a 'right click' button, as I do at work on my Windows keyboard. Since my MBP doesn't have such a button, I wondered if there was a keyboard shortcut that I could invoke to replicate this functionality?
An example of when this would be very useful is when I'm typing something, and have spelt a word wrong. To be able to bring up the menu of alternatives, at the moment I need to move my hands from the keyboard, navigate the mouse pointer to the word, right click and then move my hands back to the trackpad. It hardly takes more than a second or two, however it does annoy me slightly (especially since my spelling is pretty bad!).
So - 1) Is there a way to do this natively? 2) If not, is there a way to program a shortcut using OSX/ Launchbar? Ideally, I'd like to be able to assign Control + Space to right click.
Thanks in advance
