Because Chromebook touchpads don’t come with left and right buttons, people are often confused about how to right-click on a Chromebook. Thankfully, opening the context menu (or right-click menu) on a Chromebook is quite easy. Here are three easy ways to right click on a Chromebook.
-
The easiest way is to double tap on the touchpad. Simply tap or click on the touchpad with two fingers at once. This may be a familiar gesture for some Mac and Windows laptop users.
-
Alternatively, you can hold the alt key while tapping the trackpad.
-
Finally, if you don’t like touchpads and gestures, you can always connect a traditional mouse to your Chromebook. Most USB and wireless mice work fine with Chromebooks and offer a traditional right mouse button along with other features such as scroll wheels.
Watch the video tutorial below for examples of each right click method.
