Right-click on the Mac trackpad

If you are using a Mac trackpad, another way to get a right-click from the trackpad is to have two fingers side-by-side (like when you are scrolling on the trackpad) and then click the button below the trackpad. When you do this, it'll behave the same as a right-click.
