OS X Leopard Tip #14
Leopard has expanded the ability to enable “right clicking” by using two fingers placed on the Trackpad on Mac Portables. OS X 10.4 Tiger only allowed this on MacBooks and MacBook Pros. Now Leopard has expanded this feature to many PowerBooks.

This is a nice time saver. You just need to activate this feature in the System Preferences -> Keyboard & Mouse pane.

Here’s how:
Go to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard & Mouse. Go to Trackpad section.

Enable “For secondary clicks, place two fingers on the trackpad and hit button” by checking the box.

Once enabled, all you need to do to get a “right mouse click” is put two fingers on the trackpad and click down the button.
