Of course this issue happens for the most obvious reason: there is no freaking right click button on the darn Apple mouse Anyway, this iMac is currently running Lubuntu 16.04 and Iām planning to install Ubuntu MATE on it in the near future, but I assume Iāll have the same issue thenā¦? Is there any way that Iāll be able to rightclick with the original mouse? Or should I really connect a ānormalā mouse (with two buttons)? Or, I donāt know, maybe a ācombination clickā, as in: pressing ctrl or alt or the command key (ā) and clicking at the same time? Can it be configured? Or is there maybe another way? Thanks
Short answer: Connect a normal mouse:slight_smile:
Long answer: If you must use the one button mouse, then (from the PowerPC FAQ) install āmouseemuā.
sudo apt install mouseemu
Once installed, run as superuser
sudo mouseemu
Then, F12 is right click and F11 is middle click.
mouseemu would work, but I believe in Ubuntu proper there are other ways to do it - https://help.ubuntu.com/16.04/ubuntu-help/a11y-right-click.html and http://askubuntu.com/questions/331605/simulate-right-click-in-laptop . No idea if these work with Mate or Lubuntu Iām afraid.
mousetweaks should work I think e.g. from the terminal
mousetweaks --ssc
This is not yet neatly integrated into the accessability options of Mate as far as i know, but I am happy to be corrected.
You can also do a keyboard solution with xmodmap.
