Hi All,



I finally convinced my brother to switch to Mac, and he just got his new powerbook. However, he is very used to the right mouse click button apparent on windows keyboards. He uses it to right click on text in Word when there is a spelling error - without having to go for the mouse.



Is there any way to remap a key, or write an applescript that would run in word to allow something like this. Now that I think about it - it might be useful for me too...



Thanks.

    So you want two trackpad buttons? Sounds reasonable to me... I'd like two trackpad buttons as well. But for the time being I have no idea how to do that so I guess you'll just have to live with control-clicking or using a two-button USB mouse.



    There is a program called uControl that lets you change around the mappings on your modifier keys (control, fn, option, etc) but I don't think you can simulate a mouse click with it. You can simulate scrolling with it though.
