this is really strange, and potentially a big irritant.
so i started working with OOo Writer today on my MBP. and while everything is fine, i soon noticed that there seems to no shortcut to the right click !
which means that every time the dictionary suggests a word correction, or i want to quickly access the right click menu, i am forced to move to the touchpad and use 2 fingers to right click !
in windows there is the Alt key that quickly brings up the list of spelling corrections in 1 key stroke. so i must say i am rather surprised that this is not the case with mac os !
i hope i am missing something out, otherwise my word processing work just became that much more tedious :eek:(
thanks
 
will be forced to use mouse

this is bad :(
and worst thing is using the touchpad involves some careful positioning. so it demands attention. while occasionally this would not have been a big deal, when one is working on a word doc this will definitely becoem a pain.
i also checked and the way out (for me at least) seems to be to use the mouse. the right click works simple and straight.
btw, i am using OOo Writer as my primary processor.
however, i am still hoping something will come up :)
thanks
