Can't right click on a Mac #309

What is the problem?

The setup instructions for Safari (a browser used only on Macs) say to right click to Download linked file but I don't think you can right click on a Mac.

It depends on how strictly you interpret right-click. I right-click very often on a Mac.

You can use a regular mouse with multiple buttons with a Mac, so that a right-click works just like on other systems.
With a Magic Mouse, you can click the right side of the surface to right-click.
On a MacBook trackpad, clicking (or tapping) with two fingers works as right-click (but that may depend on configuration).

In (almost?) all cases, holding Ctrl while clicking "regularly" works as a right-click.

I am a regular Linux user and an occasional Windows or Mac user. I don't know if a novice user would know that two-finger-click is the same as right-click but I would defer to people who are more regular Mac users on this.
