In the latest Gutsy Gibbon (Tribe 2+updates), there is *no* intuitive method to right-click on a MacBook or other Mac with only one mouse button.
On Mac OS X, ctrl+click and two fingers on trackpad+click (for Macs with trackpads) are used for this purpose. However, on Ubuntu Gutsy, the only way to right-click
out-of-the-box is to tap on the trackpad with three fingers - far from intuitive. Could something more along the lines of OS X's defaults be used instead? |

Ubuntu does not supply, by default, any intuitive method to right-click on a MacBook or other Mac that has zero or one trackpad or mouse buttons.
In Mac OS X, right-clicking is simulated by placing two fingers on the trackpad and clicking, or by holding down the Ctrl key and clicking with the trackpad or the mouse. In Ubuntu Gutsy, the only way to right-click out-of-the-box is to tap on the tracplackpad with three fingers - far from intuitive. And in Ubuntu Intrepid, there is apparently no way set up by default to right click at all. Could something more along the lines of OS X's defaults be used instead?
This causes failure in step 2 of the Ubuntu Desktop Live session testing. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Cases/UbuntuDesktop> |
