I have a MacBook Pro with a touchpad, and the only way I can figure out how to use the right click in my remote desktop session is by plugging in a mouse.
Ctrl-click (what I usually use for right click), doesn't work, as ctrl is used in Windows for other things. Is there an alternative?
Either using two finger tap, or two finger "click" (by pressing down on the touchpad).
Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Keyboard Shortcuts
CTRL + SHIFT + CLICK: Right Click (OS X)
CTRL + ALT + END : Opens the Microsoft Widnows NT security dialog box.
ALT + PAGEUP : Switch between programs left to right.
ALT + INSERT : Cycle through programs in most recently used order.
ALT + HOME : Display Start Menu.
CTRL + ALT + BREAK : Switch the client computer between a window and full screen.
ALT + DELETE : Displays the windows menu.
CTRL + ALT + Minus Sign (-) : Place a snapshot of the active window in the client the terminal server, same as PRINT SCREEN on a local computer.
CTRL + ALT + Plus Sign (+) : Place a snapshot of the entire window in the client the terminal server, same as PRINT SCREEN on a local computer.
This is kind of embarrassing, but the real problem was I didn't know how to right click with a touchpad on the macbook (it was still less than a month old). Update: You can do this by clicking or tapping with both fingers at the same time.
I found that you can simulate the RIGHT-CLICK as follows;
use the arrow to position where you wish to right-click then use the keyboard icon and select SHIFT and F10
When you tap the keyboard pad to disappear you hopefully will have the right-click menu you want.
