Right click in KDE?

[samwichse]

Hey, does anyone know what the keyboard modifier is for right-clicking in KDE with a one-button mouse? Or is there a way to enable this?

I know in MacOS it's Control, but I've tried ctrl, alt, shift, and even the windows key with no luck.

No one's ever done this?

Ever?

I tried google, but I could only find Mac stuff.

Traditionally Linux desktops haven't been working well with mice that have less than three buttons. While two-button mice can use the both-buttons-chord to emulate the 3rd (middle) button, I can't think of a way to make things happen with just one button. (And I've just browsed the KDE control center too.)

on iMacs, it's the num keypad. "Clear" is middle mouse button, "=" is right button.

PPC linux usually ships with an app called mousemode. You can config multi-button mice with it.

Hm.

Problem: Dell laptop with a broken touchpad button.

It's a PC, so option+2 or option+3 won't work.
