#Left mouse clicker mac#
Mac mouseĪll the functions of a Mac mouse are fairly similar to a Windows mouse in that they have a left button, a right button, and side button but they also include a the 360° scroll ball and the side buttons. The side buttons are programmed to perform actions such as moving backward or forward through webpages in a web browser. You can also press and the scroll wheel down to scroll up and down a document and page at a faster pace than pushing the scroll wheel with your finger.
You can also close a tab by clicking on it with the scroll wheel. For example instead of pressing the left button to click on a link in a webpage you can press the scroll wheel just once and the link will appear in a new tab on the web browser. The scroll wheel can also be used as a third button on the mouse. The scroll wheel that is located in the middle of the mouse is used to scroll up and down on any page without using the vertical scroll bar on the right hand side of a document or webpage. To copy and paste using the right button on the mouse, first you must select the word or item by highlighting it and then press down on the right button on the mouse and the options should appear. Alternatively, if you were to press the right button on a highlighted word on a webpage it provides you with a drop-down menu to copy, select all, search Google for “highlighted word” etc. The right button on a mouse is typically used to provide additional information and/or properties of an item selected.įor example if you highlight a word in Microsoft Word, pressing the right button will display a drop-down menu containing the cut, copy, paste, change the font etc. The object will now be placed in the new area. Then, while still holding onto the left mouse button, move your mouse to the area you would like the object to be and release the left button on the mouse. To drag an object and place it elsewhere select the item you wish to move to an alternate area by pressing the left button on your mouse once. This will then highlight everything in that sentence. To select a sentence, triple-click with the left button on your mouse at the start of the sentence. To select a word double-click the left button on your mouse quickly (as you did you before to launch a file or program) whilst the pointer is position on the word you would like to select. This will highlight multiple files or text. However if you wish to select multiple files or text, press the left button on your mouse and drag the pointer over the files or text you wish to select. To select one object or icon on your screen, press the left button of your mouse once whilst the pointer is positioned on the desired object you wish to select. To select and highlight an object or text NOTE: If you click slowly you will NOT launch the file or program you wish to use. Place the mouse pointer over the file or program you wish to launch and double-click on the left mouse button quickly. The left button on a mouse is the default button used to click, select, drag to highlight a word and/or object and used as a pointer. This resource will explain the functions of different buttons on Windows and Apple computer mice.
